QUOTE(colinwong89 @ May 4 2006, 01:42 AM) I just checked the specifications for the memory on the video card. It was rated DDR400, which means it runs at 200MHz. I'm already overclocking it at 330MHz non-DDR speed, isn't something suspicious going on with the card? The RAM should definitely fail at this speed... scan 4 artifacts lor that's the way 2 c wether u've over-oc o not 400 ramdac?what brand?

QUOTE(colinwong89 @ May 4 2006, 01:48 AM) I did perform artifact scanning to determine the highest speed my card can go... what I'm just not getting is any performance increase. I think it's Gecube. There's no brand label on it, since I got it second-hand, I don't have the box. But the BIOS says that it's Gecube, according to one of the IDs. ic...then i dun think i can help ya out sorry bro p/s:what's ur score in 3dmark'03?  at what clock speed?

QUOTE(colinwong89 @ May 4 2006, 02:38 AM) Wow, 2.85k. That's really sweet. At least, for me. Your 9600 RAM speed above is already doubled or not? Mine started with 200MHz... so basically, my 9600 has a 9600 PRO core spec, but my video card RAMs are the specs of a 9600.  Edit: My 3DMark03 scores are based without the CPU test and Sound test... doubled liao at least ur core is 500...izzit? how 2 set that?mine kenot set...free version kenot set? edited: opps...didn't c...so urs oso 400/400...
