watsonte Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 Well as of right now I have seen zero issues with Artifacts and tearing and so on in game or in benchmarks, the only issue I am having is heat, but I am making plans to fix that in the next week or two....Also the only program that seems to pick up on the Artifacts in ATI Tool, I can overclock according to Nvidia up to 675/880 on stock but I get an insane number of artifacts in ATI tool and nothing in game...it wierd I am running at a PCIe frequency of 105 in the Bios, and stock clocks since my two cards heat up fairly quickly...

likewhoa Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 Okay, i see now so all your games worked fine, only benchmarking issues correct? I'm getting artifacts/Flickering only when i try to overclock from default (520/1500) to higher frequencies which wouldn't make sense now would it. I'll try but it's on an ASUS motherboard, but i don't think it will help in my case or am i mistaken? same thing with asus board.. just raise pcie frequency a bit to like 120 and retry your games/benchmarks.. p.s i didn't try any games yea, but the benchmarks should be good enough.

likewhoa Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 Where did you get the info from? Or is this something you found out by you self? :confused: figure this out myself.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blaise Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 My understanding was that raising the PCIe bus frequency simply allowed you to achieve higher overclocks. I was unaware that it could be a possible fix for the "flashes of death" and other such anomalies plaguing the 7900 series. I might try this on my rig (upping 5MHz at a time) although I only artifact right at the end of Freeze in 3DMark06 - sometimes.

Redbeaver Posted July 21, 2006 Posted July 21, 2006 well BLOW ME DOWN! this s**t actually works! 120Mhz on PCIE, and DeepFreeze doesnt artifacts anymore!! for a few times too!! ur the MAN, likewhoa! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

watsonte Posted July 21, 2006 Posted July 21, 2006 FYI Be careful now....Okay, this works if you intially do not experience artifacts or issues with your card do not, I repeat do not raise the PCIe Frequency, I myself just to see if it would make a difference with my cards that were artifact free...Id did...a bad one...I got artifacts after raising the frequency to 115, and 110 ,and 120, 105 works well and gives me a solid stable OC of 665/ 850 (1700 Effective) on stock volts and cooling... But nevertheless it works for other cases and for that reason I am happy to say congrats on your clever solution... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But nevertheless it works for other cases and for that reason I am happy to say congrats on your clever solution... just to be safe, as i never myself experience problems with raising the pcie frequency, i had it running on my asus board at 200mhz with no problems,.. but i suggest that people try increments of 5Mhz until they has reached 120Mhz then just increment by 1Mhz. but so far i seem this work with NO SIDE EFFECTS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deep freeze still screws up.... the heavy artifact thingie... and crashed...... the good news is, so far i played BF2 on a few hours and all is ok....it doesnt crash at that game and im all good.... altho its nice to have a fix that can let me get through 3dmark06's Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAINMAKA Posted July 29, 2006 Posted July 29, 2006 I bumped my PCIe frequency up to 120 and now I can finish all the 3D Mark tests. My video card fine in games but would just freeze at the end of the 3D Mark tests, but not any more. On a site note I scored 4728 in 06, does that seem about right for the rig in my sig?

Blaise Posted July 29, 2006 Posted July 29, 2006 I had a try with the 120 frequency and achieved quite a low score - it seemed to be stuttering quite badly at times. Backed it down to 105 and the stuttering vanished and my normal score range returned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
