using rivatuner?

[SPARAT1K]

i just got my leadtek 6800 nu and i downloaded rivatuner 15.2.

where in the options can i try and unlock the xtra pipes and such?

thanks

(i've searched on google and found nothing.)

There is a comprehensive faq at www.guru3d.com where you downloaded Rivatuner..

edit: found it, hard to find in that huge faq lol

and i got all 16 pipes and 6 vertex working woot!

 

[SPARAT1K]

ya, it says 16x1, 6vp in riva tuner now.

but i saw zero gain in doom3 time demo! what's up with that?

 

[ElementK]

I don't know...that's puzzling! However, if enabling the pipes made your games feel any better (forget benchmarks...) then I'd say you're good to go!

 

[SPARAT1K]

but certainly i would see at least a fraction of a frame in demo1 in doom3.

 

[SPARAT1K]

that's what i'm supposed to be seeing right?

 

[SPARAT1K]

3dmark 2k1 se w/ 12 pipes: 12 571
3dmark 2k1 se w/ 16 pipes: 12 598

why am i seeing identicle performance?

 

[Tyrant222]

dont know, but i would try the new 66.81 drivers.

I gained about 1000k points in 3dmark 2k3 off the softmod, and about 400 points in 2k5

 

[SPARAT1K]

those drivers actually lowered my 2k1 score a bit.

i'm on a 4x agp you think that would limit my score?

Your score is limited by your CPU.

Do I want to check "allow enabling hardware masked units"?

Your score is limited by your CPU.

Actually 3dmark is a 3d application which means that it's gpu intensive. That's why when I went from a gf2gts 32 meg to this 9800se my 3dmark03 like quadroopled. CPU doesn't help all that much.

3DMarks01 is CPU limited.

18,000 with a 6800 Ultra. A Pentium 4 3.2GHz and a 9800 XT would score higher. Scores can be found somewhere on futuremark.

I don't have the energy to care (research, cause it really doesn't matter) but I would have to dissagree just from my first thoughts on it.
