What can a 6800LE really do?

[Dan G]

Right ho, my card is an AGP Aopen Aoleus 6800LE, I've overclocked the rest of the PC (Socket 754 64Bit 3000+ to 2300MHz, DFI UT NF3, 1Gb GeIL Value) and I've had the GFX up with 16 X 6, I can't get the last vertex shader to work without artefacts. I overclocked it with RivaTuner to its little warning points (can't remember figures sorry), and I want to know what else I can do, sensibly.

I've heard about BIOS flashes, they seem pretty dangerous but not too effective in the end - I'm looking for game performance not score so much. I've flashed my mobo BIOS a few times before, is it a similar process?

Anything else I can do to the poor card? BTW What happens if I go out of RivaTuners limits? Can I do that?
Cheers All! TIA

If you've o/c and unlocked it, there is nothing else you can really do.. yes you can get modded bios and voltmod and crap, but at the end of the day, you'd be talking about 2fps more in games, not worth the hastle.

I guess there's no way I can get slightly better AA or AF performance out of it then?

There must be something I can do to it! If I fit another fan over it can I clock higher? Bearing in mind this AOpen has no temp sensors.
TIA

Get an artic cooler for it maybe, that might gives you an extra 15mhz on the core, but 15mhz = about 1fps in the real world. The LE is limited by is poor 128mb of DDR memory, you're never going to turn it into a GT/Ultra using a few mods.
