yes u have ULPS enabled

disabling Ulps will stop that

cheers will give that a go when i can get my pc setup again.

does disabling it have any ill effects on anything else?

 

[paradisiac]

ok disabled that, didnt have 0003 key though, but both are idling at 37C and 34C so will have a play when i get a minute and see how they are under load. pretty decent gap between them though.

u need to remember the top card only as a slight air gap in between.

the gap between the 2 cards looks plenty for air ASRock designed the mobo well.
had issues with MSI AB locking the pc up when i set an OC, this has been since i added the 2nd card, i think i read this was down to that ULPS being enabled.

 

[gareth170]

yeah if ULPS is enabled the system can lockup if u oc the card

awesome, so tonight i can pos go back to my 900 clock and 1105 ram oc
should temps rise a lot with such a small oc?

it's voltage that rise the heat.

if 900 on stock voltage u won't see the temps rise much

i had a single card running at that fine, so hopefully the second card will do it too not a huge gain before but it was a bit smoother.
in referance to my forced vsync, do i set it to quality or performance?

 

[gareth170]

if u want vsync on always set it to quality

 

[paradisiac]

if u want vsync on always set it to quality

i did that (it said always on) but i still get screen tearing in crysis

crysis 2?

vsync is in the options

 

[paradisiac]

nope, i bought the orignal crysis last sunday, but have been unable to play it due to the lack of vsync

Vertical Sync: Just a note that VSync is disabled by default in Crysis, and this provides the best performance. However if you wish to enable it, either force it via your graphics card's control panel, or use the r_Vsync console command. Note that if you do enable VSync using either method, I strongly recommend also enabling Triple Buffering using the d3d9_TripleBuffering setting, or if using DX10, via one of the tools in the Triple Buffering link just above.


Update: As of the 1.1 Patch, Crysis now has an in-game VSync option to control Vertical Sync. This controls whether VSync is enabled (ticked) or not (unticked), whether in DX9 or DX10 mode.

just need to update it, is this easy?

thanks, so now i can play crysis and oc my cards again, could this get any better
when i tried to play before and selected its optimize my settings thing, it set everything to high (or whatever the second highest is called) surely from what i have been reading about this game needing an amazing pc to run, these settings are too high?

 

[paradisiac]

right well i tried to OC it, but can only go up to 890MHz not the 900MHz i could get with a single card. but it is still an ok OC considering its 775MHz stock.
cant say i have noticed any difference in games though, but im not sure what difference i would notice as i need vsync enabled on everything.
