@PinkFloyd
U should use expertool so u can clock the shader as well, should help crisis performance a bit. ftp://61.172.177.245/phk/ExperTool5.6.exe:

The expertool there is 5.6 beta 3, IIRC. The final version can be downloaded directly from Gainward...

Not even heard of Expert Tool. But found the newest version of ATI Tool seems to work fine. Set my GTX at 680:1085 and it gave me an extra 15-20% performance. Bringing the game up to a fairly solid 20-25 fps in Crysis with everything maxed out @ 1920x1200 . (Yes I'm a graphics whore )
No longer have the ability to adjust 2d/3d clocks separately though. Maybe its a driver thing since it happens with this Expert Tool aswell?

I do miss the ability to clock 2D and 3D as separate values.

These new drivers are very nice. Coupled with EXPERTool and im able to get the clocks higher and more stable then was ever possible with rivatuner!

8800 GTS 640 has sat happily all day testing now @ 660/1900/1560 81c full load.

Crysis all on high went from around 23 fps to around 35fps avg @ 1680x1050
3D mark has gone from 10300 to 11178.

All in all very happy with these indeed!!

One small gripe with EXPERTool is that the sliders for clocking wont go any higher. I used to be able to take the sliders higher using rivatuner but i have hit the limit of EXPERTool. Shame as i reckon if i ramp the fan speed up to 100% i could get even more out of this.

Cool, by the time I finish building my new rig. The final version will be released :/

 

[SixDemons]

definitely the day crysis arrive we will see new drivers that day... optimized for crysis.

 

[HangTime]

overall crap drivers as same story as .02's in that my desktop RES/HZ are messed up

Tell me what resolution and refresh rate you want and I can almost certainly fix it for you (simple driver inf or registry mod)

River tuner work ok with these?

Running 2.06

 

[RavenXXX2]

Certainly does.

 

[Phunky Phish]

So whats better

Rivatuner 2.06

[helmutcheese]

Obv the later.

 

[SixDemons]

expert tool 5.6 seems more friendly....
