does anyone know how to check how many pipelines are active on this card?
I've tried rivatuner and its no go

Hi, im thinking of overclocking the card, can anyone tell me is it better to overclock through the provided expert tool or should i use another program?

thanks

Coolbits v2.0 is good for overclocking, as you can detect your max frequency. Mine kinda sucks at 520/1401 or something like that.

I see no suckage with those clocks and scores :cool:

Mine has managed 500/1400 for 3D mark but eventually locks up with extended HL2 play so just got it to auto overclock. I`ve got a Antec sonata case with all the foam sound proof in with a zalman CPU fan so probably can get a bit toastie in my case, but @ least I can`t hear it

You should follow Badass` guide in the software section for tweaking windows, made a huge difference to my lappy :cool:

SiD the Turtle · 16 Apr 2006 at 18:28

Its tweaked to the max! I'm running an unattended install with about a million registry tweaks. Very odd. Still, 8 marks isn't exatcly a lot, and games seem faster than before.

Well, that is the most important thing

anyone know how well this card can run oblivion @ 1920x1200 at decent settings?

Not got the game or a monitor that would go that high ( yet

) but can very depending on your CPU and probably for this game the amount of system ram, what you got ?

some previous posters have managed to play on high settings but don`t have a big boy 24 inch monitor like that

Yaka · 17 Apr 2006 at 10:14

my setup is, Shuttle 75g2, p4 3.4ghz northwood, bfg 7800gs 300w shuttle psu. onboard sound and dell 2405 monitor.

the bfg 7800gs dont have all the pipes, and at higer res in both q4 and bf2 unless oced stutters, and just crashes oblivion when playing full res at okayish settings.

First, unless you are rolling in cash upgrading would be silly wouldn't it?

Plus if you look at the minimum specs I posted earlier in the thread you need 400watts of energy goodness.

Edit: And two free slots as the cooler is huge.

I agree, you prob need x1900 or equivalent to run that sort of res with decent settings, this card would be closer than your current card but not worth all the £ £ to change ( new PSU ) and assuming you have two slots free.

Might be best just to downscale the res and play at 1280 x 800 or similar
