    Overclocking the AGP Bus.. Does it do anything?

    I would not recommend doing that. By upping the bus speed, you are essentially increasing the bandwidth of the whole AGP bus. While this may allow faster exchange of data between your chipset and your 3d card, you are going to see very, very small gains IF any at all by doing this. And at the...

    how important is the yellow wire?

    The yellow wire is +12volts. This extra connector is used to supply extra current to the processor because of limitations of the AGP bus. I don't think it would hurt your card to run with the wire unconnected. It would still get 12 volts from the motherboard directly through the agp slot...

    Could use some help with my PNY 6800GT

    What is wrong with that score???? I pulled 4620 in 3dmark05 with my GT at stock settings. Those numbers are perfectly normal for a non modified 6800GT and your setup. 3dmark05 is quite brutal on frame rates so seeing frames only in the teens or 20's is quite normal. Once a little modding to...

    BFG6800GTOC OCSpeeds w/ Stock Cooling

    I got the BIOS right here in the {H} forums. Look for the discussion titled the safe way to flash the BIOS on your 6800GT. It is a very large post @ this point. But the very first post has the directions for flashing and also links to the different BIOS's. I used an original BFG GT bios that...

    Just got my 6800GT. Are my benchmarks typical for my setup?

    I have virtually the identical system to yours. The only exception is the overclock on my BFG6800GT. I gained 600 points in 3dmark05 with a bios update and overclock of my BFG. You can find the guide in these forums. My score was around 4600 with card at all original settings. After the...

    BFG 6800GT Crappy OC?

    I would try the BIOS upgrade. I had the exact same problem with my BFG6800GT. I could not run stable or artifact free above 378/1000. I added some AS3 to the HSF and tightened it down real well. Ugraded to 1.4v bios found on the thread in this forum. Just like magic my new autodetect was...

    BFG6800GTOC OCSpeeds w/ Stock Cooling

    BFG 6800GT OC. My card is the newer variety with the dual blue led cooling fans. Bought at best buy. Original Bios would only yield top overclock of 375/1000 before artifacts. Had to upgrade BIOS to one that uses 1.4V. Many thanks to all involved with this forum's guide on that subject. Added...

    6800 GTO Problem FIXED, Sucess with NV5 Silencer

    ROFL.... I thought I was in the only one who could give a rats ass about HL2. I think it's being way over-hyped. I'm not trying to start a flame here, but CS is what turned online gaming into the menagerie that it is today. I don't ever recall a need for punkbuster back in the quake / quake 2...

    i opened my hsf today and saw that the cpu was black!

    If you assume the risk of pushing your system beyond the manufacturer's ratings than things like this are eventually going to happen. With that many fans in the case, even a slightly mis-seated HSF should not burn your CPU with normal voltages. You were obviously overclocking. Also does your...

    Ram Upgrade on Video Card?

    I'm an engineer for a company that manufactures the robotic equipment used for surface mount electronics. In fact, a few of our clients build ATI and Nvidia products. A few build for both at the same facility and on the same equipment. Most current DDR/DDR2/DDR3 memory utilizes uBGA packaging...

    Will nvidia EVER fix the shimmering problem?

    I recently upgraded to a BFG6800 GT from a 9800pro. I have not seen the problem at all on my 6800. Yet!! But reading all the posts made me think of a similar problem I had on my 9800pro. I changed all the settings I could and then some and still could not get the moire effect to go away...
