Paranoid Posted September 29, 2004 Posted September 29, 2004 My X800 was artifacting on the first test. I stuck a fan beside it, and all was good Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byron Posted September 29, 2004 Posted September 29, 2004 man, now I realize how bad I need a new vid card, my card scored 400, like 5fps through the whole thing. I'll be upgrading ASAP! Might be ordering a leadtek 6800 for $255 off of newegg 2night! I've got to prepare for hl2 & cs: S that comes out next week!

Eva_Unit_0 Posted September 29, 2004 Posted September 29, 2004 I didn't really have any artifacting issues with my flashed 5950U, but my poor video card DID get raped by 3dmark05...I'm too ashamed to post what I scored. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaNta84 Posted September 29, 2004 Posted September 29, 2004 yeah i had the same problem first time i ran it. when it got to the balloon part it would freeze and display frames very sporadically. i just updated to the latest drivers and it fixed the problem, however my score is still pretty far from other people with similar systems. time to start tweaking.

I stuck a fan beside it, and all was good Hmm a fellow Lian Li Vxxxx user with the same problem.. Ok, here are my choices 1.Water block for VGA 2.One of those PCI-slot cooler things (i hear they are loud...) 3.New VGA HSF Post w/e you think would work best... I use a dual heatercore radi in my W/C system and a 450gph pump so i have plenty of upgrade room for a extra block... but i dont really wanna pay the extra cash.. idk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be ordering a leadtek 6800 for $255 off of newegg 2night! I've got to prepare for hl2 & cs: S that comes out next week! my heavily oc'ed 6800 only got 2.6 K which i think is not a right score. I have a Vantec Pci-fan card and it's not that loud . I mean it's like a Volcano 12 @ medium speed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodySunday Posted September 29, 2004 Posted September 29, 2004 Shadow did you make sure you turned Vertical Sync off. And make sure your AGP appeture is at least 128. I got 2072 with my 9800 Pro and 2500+ at stock. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
