OK I've tried this:
- Modded a PNY ultra BIOS with ultra voltages to same GT stock 2D/3D speeds (350MHz) and 500MHz mem
- Moddd the ultra BIOS further to use GT voltages (less heat, the ultra voltages were pretty hot)
- Raised AGP voltage 0.1V in my motherboard's BIOS
- Threw out my SB Live! soundcard and used SoundStorm insead (got a few more fps from this)
None helped thought :/ The ultra BIOS didn't give the same freezes, the screen went blank and finally just went into power saving mode. But the card was so hot I lowered the voltages back to GT levels. But the 2d/3d clock sync thing didn't help the crashes. Actually nothing did, I still have them :-(
Now the last thing I can think of is:
- New PSU (current one ,350W HEC, gives 12V@18A 5V@33A 3.3V@28A, should be way enough)
- Wait for a BIOS update from PNY (they never release them though but maybe someone can get one)
- Wait for new drivers or a fix to this
Damn it really sucks! The card gives a nice performance but no stability =/
