    some people (myself included) feel like having a pc running at stock, overclocking shortens the life of components (i know they become obsolleete before you kinda notice) but still people feel faster at stock speeds i suppose


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,299 ✭✭✭✭BloodBath


    Who feels faster at stock speeds?

    I think most people with a decent setup could be looking at a 20% improvement in performance with overclocking and what your shortening a 10-15 year life expectancy to 5-8 years if even that.

    If you know the safe limits and waht your doing your parts won't die and you can get a very noticable improvement in performance.

    I am not even gonna get into this argument.... Do you think there is actually any difference in the manufacturing process between a 6800 ULTRA and GT? They are pretty much the exact same card, one is slower than the other purely so the manufacturer can have entry and high level products..
    Sure ATI actually cut off 4 of the pipelines in an x800XT to make it a Pro.. There is very little difference..

    You are every corporations dream customer!

    There is no difference aprt from the bios on the card.

    Just the same as there is no difference between a 2.8, 3.0 and 3.2 pentium 4 apart from the multiplier.

    Aye I never copped this the first time around, why did you go off into a rant.

  • Registered Users Posts: 17,441 ✭✭✭✭jesus_thats_gre


    I dont know.. I think I lost consciousness and just typed..

    Anyway, apologies.. Was just trying to point out that the 6800 GT is an Ultra underclocked as oppossed to an the Ultra being an overclocked GT already.

    Er I bought a GT and flashed the bois to ultra. Then had to under-clock it to 402/1.10 to get it stable.


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,299 ✭✭✭✭BloodBath


    Aye what manufacturer did you go for? Better cooling might solve that problem.

    They are the same only the gt's tend to get the lower quality cores from a batch but they are usually just as good as the ultras.

    Woops..

    i just seen ultra in your sig and presumed you shelled out full wack. You should really change that to GT @402/xxx..


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,984 ✭✭✭Venom

    Buts it is detected as an Ultra by windows and every other program not to mention that ultra are 400/1.10 at stock. Mine just has a tiny oc on the stock ultra speed.

    What do you get when running the ultra BIOS?

    That is the Ultra bios. Prior to flashing the highesy I could OC was 395/1.10 but with the bois flashed its stable as a rock at 402/1.10 tho the optimal detection is 425/1/10 but this is only stable in a few games and aquamark.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,760 ✭✭✭Col_Loki


    Ohh right, so its not really a stock score ;)

    I shudder to think what my pc would get with a Ti4200 in it!!


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,241 ✭✭✭god's toy


    Well that just killed my PC and up until today I was thinking it was a 'good' gamin PC being able to run doom 3 at high FPS with some settings turned up. It’s funny but I was happy at one point to see my computer getting up to 10 fps! But a score 1027 3dmarks for a P4 (3.2 HT) geforce FX 5900 and 512MB DDR 400 is kinda ok isn’t it?

    Anyway, anyone know how good those PCI Xpress cards are doing with this monster? And what of the 1.3 (I think they are) NS ram cards?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 141 ✭✭Hanginthere


    I got 3589 :/ with

    AMD Athlon 64 3200+ 2.2 GHz Socket 754, 512 KB cache, BOXED
    MSI K8N NEO Platinum Edition
    Corsair Value S. PC3200 DDR-DIMM 512MB
    PowerColor Radeon X800PRO 256MB DDR3 AGP,ATI X800PRO, VIVO/DVI, Retail
    Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 160GB IDE ATA/133 8MB cache 7200RPM
    Q-Tec Midi tower ATX L-MD02, Black with a Cool somthing PSU which leaves my computer at 40o constantly, im dissappointed


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,299 ✭✭✭✭BloodBath


    Hanginthere why haven't you flashed your pro to an xt yet?

    Do that and get another 512mb of ram. Honestly why have you got such a high end system and only 512mb of ram. 512 is only the entry level these days.

    I thought ya jus got the AMD 64 2 weeks ago.. ya mad whore . your not upgrading already?


  • Registered Users Posts: 951 ✭✭✭StRiKeR


    yea man, got bored of the Athlon64 already, wanna see what intel is upto these days, after 4yrs away from them!

    by the way that score I got wasnt overclock tho!

    running stock ultra speed 400/1100 and cpu not overclock either!


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,299 ✭✭✭✭BloodBath


    Stock ultra speed on a 6800gt. Sounds overclocked to me ken.

    Woo about time you got the processor that suits your needs best you crazy encoding mofo. P4's forever. They seem to be scoring a lot higher in 3dmark than the a64's.

    Me want's Dub's system. 666mhz ram hmmmm. I'm waiting for the 3.73ghz prescott's with 2mb's of cache at 1066mhz system fsb. Expect an overclock near the 4.5ghz range with a system fsp of about 1300 and ram running near 700mhz. A64's can kiss their ass goodbye.
