I'd have to agree with this, I've got one and was expecting it to be silent based on comments in forums.
It's not silent on any fan setting above stock, its not a bad sound, but its not silent.
It's pretty loud at 100%.
I find ATI's naming easier than Nvidia's.
GTX/GT/GS
multiplied by
OC/superclock/KO/signature series/golden sample/extreme
and thats just from one online retailer :confused:
But back on topic I'm taking these benchies with a large pinch of salt (although ATI cards do respond well to memory...
You shouldn't need to disable it, visually things shouldnt change with it on standard and you may have problems getting optimisations like the oblivion aa+hdr patch to work (see some optimisations can be good ;) )
I leave mine on advanced and have not had any noticeable problems.
I have...
I just installed over the cat6.3's said yes to overwriting files.
Windows warns you about them being not approved.
restart windows
set aa in ccc and hdr in oblivion options.
Make sure you dont have cat ai disabled.
Good luck
Edit for restart
I think you need to download the wdm drivers from ati, i dont think the omega package includes them.
(I thought it said that on the omega download page? mind you i dont use them much so I could be wrong)
Gagh!
Just worked out that the memory freq isnt worked out like that.
multiplier * (1/memory divider)= X
core speed/X =memory freq
so.....
11*(6/5)=13.2 (round up to 14)
2643/14=188
Cool!
unfortunatly it means I'll have to hit 2.8 GHz to get my memory to run at 200 MHz...
Motherboard:- Abit an8 ultra (NF4)
Cpu :- A64 3500+

I can get my cpu up to about 2.7GHz prime stable, but am a bit confused with my memory settings.
By my calculations setting my memory to ddr333 in the...
Wow I didnt realise I'd married my CPU.
Seriously man, your wierd.
You think its strange that a load of people that bought the fastest CPU's from the last generation are going to buy the fastest CPU's of the next generation?
AFAIK the ATI overclock tool loosens the memory timings, so you may get higher memory overclocks with it but ATI tool will give you better real world results (benchmarks and FPS) for a lower mem overclock.
