Can no longer OC my 6800GT after building new computer
Here is the deal. I just built my new computer. 1st I am going to give you my stats of my old system and 3DMark03 score.
AMD Athlon 2400+ XP
eVGA 6800GT (390/1100)
ECS K7S5A Pro Mobo (4x AGP and cannot change voltage or anything)
512 MB RAM DDR PC2100
3DMark03 Score of 10166
Here are the scores I got with my new system:
AMD A64 3200+
eVGA 6800GT (speed next to scores)
MSI K8N Neo Plat (8x AGP and not messed with voltage)
512 MB RAM DDR 2100
350/1000 = 10122
360/1020 = 10267
365/1030 = 10382
370/1040 = 10548
375/1050 = 8400 (Video flashed at end of last test which I know dropped the score. Ran it again and froze at Troll's Lair game test.)
My question is. Would 8x AGP be making my video card over heat more? My old computer with same video card let me OC it to 390/1100 with out a prob. Now this one is not letting me get anywhere near it. With this Motherboard, do I need to chagne my voltage in the higher speeds? What could be causing these results of not letting me OC it more. Is it just overheating more or something? Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks
