weird bios flash results.

[Shuzzy]

someone help me here. i flashed my 6800u to a 6800gt bios for faster mem timings and i was only scoring like 8000 in 3dmark03. so i flashed back to a regular 6800u bios and it's still doing the same thing. the weird thing is that the troll cpu test in 3dmark 03 is running at literally 0-2 fps. also, i noticed that cs:s source is running slower and is glitching a lot. this is all very alarming to me.

im using the same drivers i was before, the forceware 71.20's. i even tried different drivers and reinstalling 3dmark03 but to no avail.

anyone know what is going on here? maybe just not a good bios i reflashed with? anyone got a good 6800u that is stable?

any help would be appreciated. thanks. :cry:

ok, well i flashed an evga 6800 ultra bios on it with no problems, but it's still doing the same DAMN THING!. one thing i noticed the whole time is that it's saying pcix0 as the bus. like this:

Reinstall Windows and the chipset drivers!

second reinstall everything and reset cemos if problems presist try card in friends rig or u can try that first

ps. card is most likely fine ive screwed my vcard bios up worse and it never got damaged (9700pro w/9800pro bios) did not work artifacts everywhere

well i won't reinstall windows, but i will try uninstalling all my drivers, resting the cmos and flashing system bios. we'll see how that goes. absolute last resort is reinstalling windows.

just to clear this up. from the picture above. what do other people read in that space??? is it supposed to say agp8x there?

[Shuzzy]

update:

woooo, cleared cmos and reinstalled all my drivers and the problem went away. don't know what did it and really don't care. it now says agp 8x in that spot and everything is running great. :shrug:
