    BFG 7900GS Overclock Issues HELP

    I'm not sure what your problem is. When I unlocked my GS, I had to lower my o/c from 585/1600 to 570/1600 to get it stable. I still got higher fps and 3dmark scores, though. I even did the volt mod to get to 650 core and I still have no issues.

    Radeon X850XT PE vs GeForce 7600GT

    I used to have an X800 GTO^2 w/ 16 pipelines @ 533/601, basically X850XT + performance and specs. It just died a few days ago and I got a 7600GT to try out. Performance was about the same for the games I use, and in the 3DMark benchies. I didn't try HDR as I upgraded to a BFG 7900GS...

    Best Performance for price on a video card.......

    We're talking performance for the price. In BFG 7900GS case, it is a $185 (currently @ newegg) overclocked (not stock) 7900GT (or in my case volt modded to 7900GT-O-). Up here in Canada I got it basically for $160 CAD (approximately $139 USD) after the $40 CAD rebate, where the cheapest...

    7900gs vs 7900gt

    Bear in mind the BFG 7900GS unlocks to 24pp/8vp, so you get a 7900GT for a 7900GS price.

    BFG7900GS. It is the only 7900GS that unlocks to 24pp/8vp (7900GT config). Mine is running @ 575/1650, and cost me $160 CAD + taxes after $40 rebate.

    Need advice to do with 6600GT's

    You're welcome! I tried the built-in sound briefly, and like all on-board audio, it is not worth the performance hit, and the quality is bad. Even a cheap sound card (I've got an old Aureal Vortex AU8810) kills on-board audio. Try it, you may like it, then you can buy a cheap or expensive...

    Need advice to do with 6600GT's

    It's not possible to remove the AGP HSI (high speed interface) that sits between the PCI-e native GPU and the AGP connector. Even if you could somehow do it, the connector is still for AGP. If you go AMD s939, you can always get the ASRock 939Dual SATA2 (what I have) which has both AGP and...

    6600GT to 7900GT

Then I wasn't satisfied with the performance in Far Cry and Quake 4, so I sold it and bought a Sapphire X800 GTO^2 o/c past X850XT specs. I think it will last me at least a year before I go any higher <knock...

    Asrock Memeory question..

    Hi, Even with 2 DIMMs I use 2T for stability. Up the RAM to at least 200 Mhz--I have no idea why it defaults to 166. The AGP aperture size determines how much system memory can be used for graphics when the on-board video card memory gets filled up.

    Reapplying Thermal Paste...

    The X800GTO2 stock cooler does not use thermal pads for the memory. I used Arctic Silver 3 on both memory and core and it did reduce my temps quite a bit. I run high 20's idle, and mid 50's under load (fan 100% all the time).

    What's the worst PSU you have managed to run a 6800, 7800, X1800 or X1900 on stable?

    X800GTO2 for 165.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I've read a few lengthy posts where the blue versions without the power connector have only R430 cores and 2 ns memory, and therefore don't overclock to X850XT/PE speeds. The best bet out there is the red version with dual DVI and VIVO which comes pre-unlocked, R480 core, and 1.6 ns memory.

    Low 3DM 05 score w/ X800 XT

    There's definitely something wrong with your setup as I get 6447 in 3DMark05 with my card. Be sure you install the AGP drivers for the motherboard, then install video drivers, then DirectX.

    whats the difference between flashing bios and overclocking?

    Be careful with what you flash with though, as some BIOSes have been known to fry the fan/fan controller, and flashing back to original BIOS does NOT fix it, as the damage has already been done.

    Upgrade Suggestion from AGP to PCI-e

    You wouldn't buy an x800 gto2 to run it at stock. It has the R480 core and the 1.6ns GDDR3 RAM used in the X850XT and X850XT PE, so you're pretty much guaranteed to o/c to at least 500 core, 560 memory. Performance will be > than 6800 Ultra. If you don't want to overclock, you can even get...

    Upgrade Suggestion from AGP to PCI-e

    X800 GTO^2 VIVO with dual DVI come PRE-UNLOCKED with 16 pipelines (I speak from personal experience). The X800GTO2 with 16 pipes overclocked to X850XT + speeds is faster than a 6800U.

    quake 4 running a little slow?

    I run at 1280 x 1024, high details, but some MP maps take a huge hit, i.e. Bloodwork, depending on the quality of the server, and the speed and number of connections. Sometimes turning off shadows gives a big boost.
