Huh? If you run all your 3D cards on the same computer setup, it wouldn't matter which benchmarking softwares you are using, no?

Well, i didnt chg fanspeed, esp. i dont even know where to chg fanspeed..

Where to chg ah?.. tried Rivaturner.. but it cant recognize my drivers.

Btw, didcha try using MSI D.O.T?..

Cheers

LOL...Maybe i should retest my card once i settle all my stuff with my current PC. Bad day with my LCD and PSU going kaput..

Guys, any idea what might be the lowest wattage i could go with my current 8800GTS setup?Do you guys recommending me going with CM 430 Extreme or FSP 400W or maybe (kinda expensive) ST400? Do you think my rig can support them?

Well, i also duno where to change but i heard from kmarc, you can install speedfan, go to configuration and change the speed from there. Just put the minimum fan speed to 100%. However, for me, the PC Wizard is still stating my GPU fan is at 100% even though i did not touch anything..

Never tried the D.O.T before cause i never touch that CD before as well..LOL..Maybe i should give it a try but Ntune also have the ability to let you OC the card as well right?

Still far away from 4GHz, HSF is Scythe Ninja and temperature i have forgotten to watch as i am just running a quick test on 3DMark

How to determine whether its a split or not? As normal the fan compressor part is outside the room where as the 1 in the room is the blower la. Its not a too old model and if I not mistaken its the 1st panasonic model with ionizer which I bought around year 2004

Oooo. Pardon me Mr-1337-in-3Dmark06. I didnt know that because the last 3DMark I've tested is the 05.

And btw, I do know that a 2.4ghz C2D and A64 is not the same, ipc's are not the same on both. Just I didnt know the difference would be this big in 06 compared to 05. Again, you're the 1337 for calling non-3dm06 awares as n00bs

eh guys.... how to know if ur PCIe slot is running at 4x or 8x or 16x?

any software that can be used to check?

All the gc is using PCI-e x16
except for the agp's 1

correct me if I'm wrong.

urs is 8800gts..so its on pcie x16

MSI 8800gts still got bundle with CoH?

the other time saw a forumer said that his MSI is not bundled with CoH.

I think the important thing of the PSU that you choose is the Ampere rating of the 12V rails. The extreme 430W's A's you're looking at seems to be abit low. I wouldnt use that one Try saving more for something better. At least your card will be safer

Try Cpu-Z

well, u can see it through on ur mobo itself or can refer to ur mobo manual, 16x PCIE is the longest slot 1 meanwhile 1x PCIE is the shortest slot...

guys...i know how to see PCIe slot etc etc...

what i wanna know is...at what speed is the slot CURRENTLY running...

CPU-Z as suggested by sleepy is the only relevant answer to my question so far (thanks!)

will check with CPU-Z when i get home.

.....
i think all the PCIE graphic card is running on 16X speed, is that any PCIE GC running on non-16X PCIE slot?

yeah...i remember reading long ago in this forum.. some dude running his PCIe GC at 4x...so i wanna check...coz for some reason my 3D Mark 05 im only getting 8k.

not sure the reason. but i suspect the main reason is that my HDD is dying. but just wanna make sure its not the PCIe slot.

and there are 8x PCIe slots built into the mobos.

and speaking of 3dmark 05... i just re-downloaded it a few days ago....and for some reason i have to check my scores online. i cant check it WITHOUT submitting the ORB. how do i do it without having to check it online ah??

the previous 3dm05 i downloaded a year ago didnt have this..can check without going online.

nowaday graphic card only using pcie 16x slot with 75 watt supply


low 3dmark score does not mean anything gua? y worried? as long as play as good as other gamer fps then it just fine

Other than u sounded sarcastic, sorry abt that... bring out frustration on u there.

Abt calling u n00bs, not like i saying ur #$@$@%... , well i was once too, and who hasnt?.. lol

Well, at least u know now... heh

Yea, u can check yer PCIE speeds on CPU-Z.

And abt 3DMark05, yea, it used to show result straightaway w/o going online

Now the latest version of it, needs to check yer results thru online.

Yea, juz take it lightly when comparing with 3DMark06, as i said, best to benchmark using games

Cheers

Well, out of the choices i have thus far, only the FSP 400W offers higher A at around 30+. Most are below 30A. I do not want to spend too much on this PSU cause i am still going to use back my ST56F after it is back from RMA. Therefore, i prefer to spend < RM150 on it though...

Well, on default, most of the PCIE card will be running on 16X. They will only be reduced if you are running SLi on some motherboard. However, there are some cases (weird ones) that i had seen before where on some way, it only runs on 8x..

570 SLI is on 8x when SLI

Hey snipey,

Yea, basically yers its split-unit, meaning theres 2 separate parts/units, one the blower and the other its the compressor.

Thats really quiet, esp. considering with yer air-con on.

Cheers

Added on June 26, 2007, 11:56 pmI see.. well, according the reviews, they said the MSI's D.O.T pretty solid 3Dcard utility.

If not mistaken it can o/c, see temperatures, check artifacts, and best of all, auto o/c.

I might try that later, esp. after i gotten a new PSU

And yea, nTune can do o/c too.

Cheers
