Ordered 6600GT- OC'ing & Other utilities????

SA66 · 12-26-04, 10:24 PM

OK, I just ordered the Leadtek 6600GT from NewEgg, my decision was based on info I recieved from this forum, you guys rock. Now I need to know what are the best utilities and/or programs for OC this card. ALSO, I think I need to get driver cleaner, right now I have an ATI and I have read it's best to use driver clnr to remove it, where do I get that. Any other tweaks and Performance boosts would be greatly appreciated.

AMD Athlon XP 3200 Barton
ASUS A7N8X DX
Audigy 2 Platinum
Crucial Ballistix PC3200 512mb x3
Antec psu 430w

My advice would be to do a full format. Not only does it garauntee you wont run into driver conflicts, but its nice to have a fresh, smooth running system (of course, that only lasts the first 20 minutes

)

As for overclocking programs, I hear nVidia's is the best

^ hehe don't you mean coolbits?

For oc'ing you will need to download the coolbits registery hack to enable the overclocking option in the nvidia panel.

Also, if you want you can try and use Rivatuner and powerstrip

Yeah, format your HD to wipe out any ATI remnants (no doubt windows will appreciate the enema) and load up the latest nvidia drivers and install the coolbits reg hack and you'll be golden. Once done, keep an eye on your board temps and clock in reasonable increments. Use a good program like 3DMark2005 for consistant, looping testing to ensure stability and artifact free rendering.
