Maxvla · Oct 22, 2004

your x800 stock to oc'd is less than impressive on 01se. only gained 800 points :-/

what are the stock clocks on that card?

i'll try to replicate your benches on my a64 rig soon.

Joe Camel · Oct 23, 2004

not too much luck with my OCing...

using Riva Tuner to OC.
stock cooling and BIOS.

aqua mark wont run with ANY OC.
got 01, 03 & 05 to run @ 365/1200...but getting a tear/pixel here and there :-/

suggestions?...

PS never flashed a Vid BIOS (please dont tell me i have to "rig-up" my floppy

)

EDIT: got aqua to run...so here ya go

i'm getting nasty graphical errors in far cry. some parts are so dark its hard to play the game, then others are so bright everything is washed out so its also hard to play.

the speed is quite impressive, but i can't have a video card that looks like this during gaming.

my 3dmarks completely stock

a64 3200+ Newcastle 2.2ghz
asus k8v se deluxe
2x512 mushkin bh5
6800 LE 325/1100 full 16 pipes

01se: 21260
03: 10700
05: 3990

AZN · Oct 23, 2004

Joe Camel, are you using that 2925mhz amd chip for your testing? if so i guess this a64 really takes the cake for gamming cuase that is a huge mhz difference but the results arnt.

Maxvla · Oct 23, 2004

here's some samples of what i'm talking about. its constantly changing and the black usually follows me around especially on the ground. the bright is usually walls and structures.

resized from 1280x1024 no aa, no af, all highest settings otherwise.

Maxvla · Oct 23, 2004

tried 300/1000 same problem. my best guess is some bad pipes

Wicked Klown · Oct 23, 2004

Max that looks alot like bad drivers. I had the same thing happen in Desert Combat with a few drivers on my old GF4 TI4600SE. If you havn't already try a few different drivers and see what happens.

DamienKC · Oct 23, 2004

That 3rd screenshot looks alot like my ti4200 did in 3dmark2001SE on the matrix ones...weird....

max, i put farcry in today and it looked exactly like that on my 6800gt until i got the version 1.1 patch for farcry, then all was fine

Yes, that's exactly how FarCry looked on my screen with 6800nu, and still does BTW, because I haven't downloaded any patches yet. Not so much time for FarCry after so much came out

.

I have also got my 6800 LTD ED, going to test that beast Sat evening

Looks like bad drivers to me too.......

Sentential · Oct 23, 2004

What patch are you running? If you arent running 1.1 or 1.2 that is the cause as well.
