yblocgerg Posted July 11, 2005 Posted July 11, 2005 How's it going tonight guys. So I'm running some BH-5 at 2-2-2-5@200mhz and getting pathetic framerate in all games and benches with my current rig. I ran sandra benches to troubleshoot, and I found the problem. I get 1211mb/sec and 1170mb/sec in the sandra memory bench. For crap and giggles, I compared this to other memory, and apparently I am running at SD133 equivalent speeds. So, any suggestions are welcome. I installed the newest nforce4 drivers, and 77.72 vid drivers. This is just bizzare. Help will be MUCH appreciated.

yblocgerg Posted July 11, 2005 Posted July 11, 2005 Will try that, I just ran memtest, it was fine. 200mhz at 2-2-2-5, all passed. Hopefully the bios flash will work, otherwise i will cry myself to sleep, hehe. BTW, nice rig you go there xguy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

yblocgerg Posted July 11, 2005 Posted July 11, 2005 xguy. I love you and the internet, for the fact that we can share our experiences with people who have nearly identical hardware(-1 7800gtx ). I'm now flying with the 6-23 bios. I think it should be very clear that dual core folks NEED 6/23 or higher. I had 6/18, and those 5 days of DFI working made a 10 fold difference in problems solved. <--one happy camper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
