Powerstrip question

[Goodie]

Ok You guys all know im fighting to get my vid card overclaoced. :D here is the thread with the info. http://forums.overclockers.ws/vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=63777 Well now I have one more question, this time about powerstrip. When you go to the screen that lets you overclock there are settings on the right hand side in a window called Driver Options. There are OpenGL options and D3D options. I don't have any of these checked off, what ones should I use?

goodie that r the d3d and opengl driver settings as you said. that will mostly depends on the applications you have that will use them and also on the relation performance/quality you want from your video. for a better help on each one post the names of the settings and youll get a better help and descriptions of the items.

OK here goes. :D


OPENGL OPTIONS

1 Enable vertical sync
2 use fast linear mipmap filtering
3 Force anisotropic filtering
4 Force full scene anti-aliasing


D3D OPTIONS

1 Disable vertical sync
2 Force anisotropic filtering
3 Disable fog table emulation
4 Force full scene anti-aliasing

And what does the advanced memory timing do?

Thanks,

The original link is working now too.

I was really interested in vertical sync, I know that's kind of a newbi question but I never got what it does for you.

GGGGGGRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!! Now when I try to benchmark with 3Dmark 2001 or 2000 my vid card feeezes. :( If I run it on the default settings I can bench it but in 3Dmark 2001 i only get 789 points. :( It runs well with my games, just not with the benchmark software.

[Wega!]

Can't you remember what you changed, and then just change it back?

Goodie,

What do you have for all your hardware? Mostly Motherboard, Memory, and CPU.

256 megs SDram


Here is a pic of tribes. Look at the frame rate(153.30 FPS). I dont get why the benchmark will fail lilke that.
