--- Quote from: texasboy on June 05, 2008, 08:58:45 am --- ;D Just happen to have Tomb Raider Anniversary.lol Full version, came with Mobo. More familiar with this game since daughter was always on the previous versions. No wonder she was trying to steal from me. >:D. It says 16+ moderate violence, so I guess I can try. Finding better Graphics and speed when I lower multiplier from 9 to 8 and increaseFSB and Mem. Still having occasional shut downs due to display driver nviddmkm but always recovers during benchmark testing. Still playing with various settings and no doubt I will find the best one for the set up.. CPU figures are well above average, its the graphics I have to sort out.
TKS

Yeah, that's entirely expected, low multiplier and high FSB means you have more memory bandwidth, this would affect current generation Intel CPUs more than it would AMD or Intel's neg gen CPUs (Nehalem), because basically they both get rid of the FSB.
Speaking of which we have finally seen some early benchmarks on Nehalem: http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/intel/showdoc.aspx?i=3326
Unless AMD can keep up, looks like I might have to switch at some point, they've basically taken everything that gives AMD an advantage and added it to their architecture.

Hey Tex, what ever you do don't get one of these, I hear there kinda small and over priced ....
;D

;D Have 3 0f those running at present. Not much improvement over standard, and they tend to be very noisy under load.lol.
Now I need some help from those of you running nvidia Mobo`s,
Ntune is a standard extra that comes on disk with mobo. It is an excellent tool for OC especially on GPU core/mem settings (mind you have to check various websites for professional bench mark info), It has always worked well for me and seems to be getting better. Even though using setup at boot uses correct FSB/CPU settings and performance is as it should be for the settings. Ntune does now not show any info on mem/fsb/mobo etc. Shows only CPU cores and GPU settings.
The following is now showing.
FSB -1#10 mhz
FSB Freq -1#10 mhz
CPU multiplier 0.0x
CPU Core Freq -1#10 mhz
Mem Bus Freq -1#10 DDR MHZ
Have tried uninstall/install Ntune but no change. Does not affect performance and PC running normally.
Must be a setting I have missed.
If anyone has any thoughts it would be appreciated.
cheers
PS. 3d/cpu marks on futuremark o6 getting up to 16,000 without much stress on CPU or temps.

;D After doing my own thing, I have answered my own question. Went into nvidia website for latest ntune, unistall present version , and install latest.
Shows me running FSB1,575 CPU at 3.125 (stock 2.44GHZ),mem bus @1182. So reducing some figures to 2.8 for CPU,mem 1333mhz and keeping standard settings for GPU 600/900. graphics excellent .Ghost Recon seemed to be a stumbling block. So next step is Tomb Raider Anniversary >:D
cheers
Gonna put extra fan into side panel to blow on CPU/Graphics cards.
Maybe I`ll get it right before they put me into nursing home.lol

texasboy:
;D just a little note. Am presently running CPU 3.015GHZ (stock 2.4GHZ) FSB 1340, FSB Clock 335MHZ X9, GPU Core 656MHZ, MEM 933MHZ.
All is stable even running stability test for 1 hour. Temps around the 48C mark but fans seem to be doing their job and very rarely above this unless testing a benchmark on Futuremark Advantage. Still some room to up CPU, but why do too much more when the speed and graphics are great.
cheers
