Eh guys a question. Under 3D settings in the control panel, what are the settings you guys put to achieve maximum performance in game?

 

[lay-z-boy]

'high performance' perhaps

why would you do that anyway, high quality all the way

 

[Lolcb]

Yea I did put on high quality, but I am not sure about the Negative LOD and the gamma correct thingy?

 

[lay-z-boy]

with negative load bias 'allow' gives better performance, turning off gamma correct aa will give better performance too.

 

[fornowagain]

I prefer Clamp LOD (I find sometimes edges "crawl" with it set to allow and AA) and turn off the gamma correct, it messes with the AA function.

Read (down the page a bit) this for AA details.

http://www.digit-life.com/articles2/video/g80-3.html

Indeed, disabled gamma correction in GF7800 and GF8800 put everything into places — 8xQ and 16xQ modes got the title of top quality modes back, not only in GF8800, but also among all modern video cards. But what caused such a quality degradation with enabled GC? We'd like to believe that it's just a bug in ForceWare 97.02, which will be fixed in the nearest future. As for now, GF8800 users should keep in mind that enabled gamma correction does not always lead to better AA quality.

I got 9899 3dmarks06 score running at @ 1280x1024

SM2.0 Score: 4646
HDR/SM3.0 Score: 4799
CPU: Score 2067

everythings running on stock, havent even increased my memory voltage yet.

Is this a good or bad score for the system?

E6600
EVGA 680i
2x 1gig Crucial Dominator C5
BFG 880 GTX
Enermax Galaxy 850W

Thanks.

Overclock that CPU and your score will improve quite a bit.

Yeah but is it good? Im trying to assertain if my system is faulty and behaving subpar.

Here's a pic of my voltages n shizzle. They seem ok? ( Apart from the mem )

Your score is fine for components running @ Stock.

Im dying to be a member!

Just need to convince my parents that taking out a new mortgage on the house for 2 GTX's is a perfectly reasonable thing to do.


On the other hand, the "8800GTX Trust Fund" is looking promising.


Cya when I have them; if I havent soiled myself with excitement on their arrival, so destroying them.

8800 GTX turn the quality up for games performance only for benchies.

Try the following

Vsync = on (personally I can't stand pixel tearing I have to turn this on some ppl don't see it though)
Triple Buffer = on (turn this on if using Vsync = on)
Gamma correct AA = on
Transparency AA = Super if you can Multi if not
AA use 8x, 16x or 16Q to get the CSAA remember to change it to enhance the game AA and enable the AA in game.
LOD Bias = clamp
Texture Filtering = High Quality
AF = 16

Hope this helps

You might want to edit that sweary before a don picks it up

Ill upload the pic of my card tonight.

Ran 3DMark06 Last night with my new rig (8800GTS) and got 8400 points.

How much increase will I get say if I OC the CPU to around 3Ghz?

That is a very sick option setup lol. Eh for SLi, do you use Alternate Frame Rendering 1 or 2?

Thats the fun of sli, you have to work out the best rendering method depending upon your quality settings and screen res.

Thats why I only ever go for a single card solution

The only game that really kicks the crap out of my system is FarCry with the AMD 64bit add on increases the draw distance and detail. That is with 16AA and transparenct super sampling enabled. Even then it's still > 30FPS

Haven't got SLI running properly yet.

These are the settings I use with a single card.

Off sick cause my appendix burst a couple of weeks ago got a 2nd 8800 GTX yesterday but left my SLI bridge in London, round my brothers this week so I can't try it out.

Well tried it without the bridge bad idea lost a lot of performance so one card is just idle at the mo. Quite why XFX decided to change the PCB colour is beyond me.

100% Agreed, im far too lazy to do that, even overclocking reqires too much effort.

God knows what im doing i have a brand new BFG sitting here still sealed waiting to sli up
