hey guys... here goes my prob...

i'm using a MSI 6600GT (with arctic silencer 6)
ASUS A8N-SLI motherboard...
AMD 64 3000+ (winchester)
1GB DDR1 Corsair Ram

bought my system bout a year plus alrd... just recently my northbridge fan kaput.... so i changed it to a slightly bigger fan...
after that, i realised that i can't fit my 6600GT at the original slot (slot 1)
so nvm... i changed my card position to the second slot (slot 2)
after that, i played NFS most wanted and i realised that it was lagging!!!!
i runned 3DMark05 n i got a result of 2400 instead of my previous record 4100 (both were overclocked at the same settings)

so wat should i do now guys? pls help!!!
wat should i do in order to have a fast performance card producing from slot 2?
thanks in advance!!!

(i know some of u might ask me to change it back to slot 1 n change my fan... i do not wish to do that... any other advise is very very welcomed!!!)

uninstall and reinstall your forceware driver with your card in the new slot

yeah...did that alrd... updated the drivers with the card in the new slot alrd...

actually in the past, when i used to play games with the card in the slot 1... it used to have this same problem... the lagging problem...

a fren of mine taught me that i should try overclocking it n it might be faster....

so i tried... in the end, after some overclocking... the card is peforming much much better and the lagging stopped... even at default settings...

from then onwards... i guessed that i must burn-in my card with the motherboard...

have u guys heard of that before?

What's your 3dmark score after o/ced? I have never heard a graphics card must burn-in with mobo LOL....

u sure ah~ wat type of oc method u use...riva tuner or what?? since my 6600gt aso got some lag problem..i thougt it is the result of using juz only one 512mb ram~ hehe u sure a~

erm... pls refer to the first post... it's stated there alrd... hehe... i dunno bout the burning in thing la... it's just my theory...

i'm using the latest forceware driver to overclock my card... haven't tried with rivatuner yet.. but i guess the result would be the same...
3Dmark05 score before o/c is 2000... after o/c is 2400...
previously can reach 4100 leh!!! damn sad la!!!
pls help me guys!

mayb the slot can't support 16x?

or maybe the newer drivers reduce performance of 6600GT?

Do you turn the SLI card to enable SLI, so that the PCI-E slot are running 8x 8x ?
