question about 6600gt clocks (solved)

If you're really concerned about it working, just use the log feature of Rivatuner and have it log the core clock to a file while you play a 3D game. You're able to keep a log of the core temperature, memory clock, core clock, and a few other things as well. Comes in really handy if you're...

Denver legalizes marijuana!

The de-criminilization of marijuana is a very 'odd' situation for lawmakers and society. As a former daily user and now a rare 'once every couple of months' user, I understand the ups and the downs associated with the drug. With my B.S. in Forensic Chemistry with a focus on drugs of abuse, you...

CRT VS LCD: The pros of each.

I'd just add that LCDs are more 'friendly' if you move a lot or are changing the location of your computer. Lugging a massive CRT up and down various flights of stairs and securing it in your car for a long trip can be a royal pain. LCDs are typically MUCH lighter than a CRT and are easier to...

is my video card temp too high?

Man, there must be something wrong with my temperature reader then. I have my 6800 OC'd to 400/800 and when running HL2:LC with various levels of AA and AF on, the max the temperature ever gets is 56C. So either there's an error someplace in what Rivatuner is reading, or the NV Silence and AS5...

6800nu Overclocking.

Yeah, I'm seeing very little return from the higher clocks. So I think I'm just going to go with what the 'optimized' setting is and leave it at that. In 2D, I have my card running at the factory settings as there is zero need for me to have it overclocked there. I also think that the 128MB...

6800nu Overclocking.

I currently have my eVGA 6800NU overclocked to 400 MHz core and 800 MHz memory. This is at stock voltages and the temperatures are 45 idle and 54 under full load. I could probably take it higher, but I'm not seeing to much in terms of performance gains. (3DMark05 is still only scoring about...

Do you still play any old games?

It's actually because of emulation that I built my current computer. I still play the classic Street Fighters, Mortal Kombats, Double Dragons, Golden Tee Golf, etc. etc. that I grew up playing in the arcades. On my NES/SNES emulators, I still play the Zelda Series, the Mario Brothers series...

How to unlock Pipelines and Vertex Shader on a 6800 (nu/le/gs)

I've got an eVGA 6800nu and I could not unlock my pipelines without artifacts, but the vertex shader unlocked beautifully without any problems. I'm using the NV Silencer 5 (rev 2) on my card and I couldn't be happier. I initially had a problem with a cable blocking the movement of the fan, but...

Post pics of what you spend money on....

There's simply not enough bandwidth to photograph everything I spend money on (golf clubs/equipment, baseball cards, DVDs, computer equipment, coins, etc. etc.), but I can show pictures of the thing that I'm most proud of. Click on the following link to see pictures of my 'odd' collection. If...

Post Your HL2: Lost Coast Performance

This is with my new eVGA GeForce 6800 with 6 vertex shaders, 12 pipelines, core at 375MHz, and memory running at 790 MHz effectively (395 DDR). The rest of my specs are in my signature. Coming from my Ti-4600, my new videocard is AMAZING and Half-Life 2 looks downright stunning. Lost Coast...

Cooler for eVGA 7800GT

The NV Silencer is an incredibly good cooling solution. I recently got an eVGA GeForce 6800 and the stock fan on that has this obnoxious whining sound, not to mention the fact that it doesn't exactly cool all that fantastically. After using the stock for about ten minutes, I immediately went...

6800nu Overclocking.

My eVGA GeForce 6800 arrive today along with the NV Silencer. First I have to say that the NV Silencer is INCREDIBLY quiet. WOW! I actually think my 6800 is quieter than my Ti-4600 was. I'm amazed. I'm also happy to see how cool the card is staying. When looking in the driver properties...

6800nu Overclocking.

I should be able to get some numbers out in terms of my overclock this weekend. My video card, thermal compound, and NV 5 are currently at my local UPS building and will be delivered tomorrow. Work will surely suck and drag on, and I pray that someone is home to sign for the package as I don't...

6800nu Overclocking.

Yeah I've made the registry hack for coolbits, and I've also downloaded and installed RivaTuner and NiBiTor in preparation for my new card. I've also gone and messed around with the overclocking of my current GeForce 4 Ti-4600. I don't really trust the self-test feature, however, since I...

6800nu Overclocking.

Feel free to bump away! I've got an eVGA 6800nu AGP on its way to me right now along with an NV-5 cooler and some Arctic Silver 5. I've never overclocked a video card before, so this is going to be my first attempt. I like being able to see what I'm getting myself into :D
