I've tested in benchmarks and got around 5% improvement going from Quality to High Performance [NVIDIA CP].

just recently i use to change texture quality (use 8600m gt) on resident evil (fixed benchmark)
quality-46.1fps
performance-46.3fps
high performance-46.6fps
not really 5% much, are u use quality, performance setting from "Adjust image quality with preview" and not Textture filtering - Quality from "Manage 3D setting" from nvidia cp?
sorry out of topic,mod please remove this if unrelevant

But, I can't notice the Graphics Difference(by bare eyes) between High Performance vs Quality/High Quality for Nvidia GPU.
So, setting it up for High Performance is better.
Similar to AMD/ATI, there's also significant Graphics Difference between High Performance vs High Quality.

AMD and Nvidia both have different optimization on every games.
Some games favour Nvidia and some to AMD. Similarly, the Graphics Quality too.

same as me,when playing game,we looking at moving image not static image

I always like to set my games graphic setting to the highest possible while maintain a playable frame rate.
crysis and warhead max up with 8xAA give me smooth gameplay, so I do not sacrifice anything.
but metro 2033 with everything max (Dx11, very high, tess ON, Ad. DoF on, MSAA) is really crazy, which is why i turn off Ad. DoF, which boost frame rate drastically...

fuh finally i revive my artifact HD3850 liao with applied with new thermal paste =.=
anyways the artifact problem will still happen again after revive from dead ?
i don wan for it to failed me once again soon -.-

Probably due to overheat
since it works again when u apply new thermal paste.

maybe lo now the temperature is 49 Celsius idle 56 celsius full load after i apply the thermal paste ...
before my gpu dead is 62 celsius idle and 95 celsius full load

Depends on condition, artifact might be caused by overheating (your previous issue) or bad RAM (unrepairable), you can try FurMark to see if it fail you again.

if artifacts reappear..bake it..old card is worth to bake.. many successful story out there...

from cayman architecture

cayman architecture dual graphic engine, are that mean that graphic card have started real multicore era(considered that shader processor as thread rather than core)

p.s- some site declared antilles, and cayman slide with spec are fake, oh well

wow, huge different between before and after.
i think i have to do something on my card also.

guys, i juz install arctic xtreme plus for my 5870..
well 1st time to oc gpu..
default:
850 core 1200 memory..

so my question..
which thing u guys will increase? core or memory?

i juz done mine wit 950 n 1300 x8 tested wit FurMark for 30minute, temp working fine at max 53, idle 35. < but is tat really okie wit this oc?
any pro would like to share experience wit me?

core more important than memory, nice temp

if touch vcore only the temps gonna up a lot, if stock not that much

ya, i juz notice it... i lower down 1250 memory.. n tested 1 hours+ temp at 50 only..

so actually core is more important or the memory?

The higher the core speed and shader, the better, the memory clock doesn't matter too much . Just a small improvement.

Not really, Memory and Core clocks are the MAIN KEY of OCing.
Shader Clocks are not, because usually, it's stick to Core Clock.

den i think i go back default 1200 enough...

More info on Cayman unveiled

http://www.brightsideofnews.com/news/2010/...e-unveiled.aspx

applies wit nvidia cad.
coz ati card, the shader run @ same speed wit core anyway......
