QUOTE(akachester @ Aug 6 2007, 10:52 AM) But in term of real in game performance, is it acceptable? In some cases, 3D Mark really doesnt prove much for me. I mean, if its tested using FPS, that would be even more convincing right? Hope people here with the Colorful GC show some gaming benchmark..  indeed, in-game performance should be the a good idea  , FYI guys, one of the reason i let go my NX8600GTS was... while in game, the gameplay not smooth as my X1900XT and 7950GT even the score in synthetic benchmark, higher than those X1xxx series and 7900 series  |

QUOTE(§layerXT @ Aug 6 2007, 07:12 PM) Look carefully the 3dMark06 was in 1024x786 mode. Of course the 3.8GHz E6600 also contribute to such a high points. :opps:... that's not correct, 3DMark06, by default @1280x1024, not 1024x768 |

QUOTE(sHawTY @ Aug 7 2007, 11:52 AM) Ko pakai Riva Tuner version apa? Aku pakai ngan vista ngan XP takde masalah pape pun. I'm using Riva Tuner Version 202. What's yours?  Guys, i have one Thermalright HR-03 in my hand right now. Let's see either the 8600GT Ultra Edition can break the 800MHz record.  , ThermalRight HR-03 Plus is that what you meant? as far as i know, normal (old) ThermalRight HR-03, can't support 8 series aight...  , 800MHz, target 825MHz la... , looking forward to it... eh, this can be also your testing for Arctic Cooling MX-2 too |

350W? Acbel? isk... too low, i even throw away the Acbel at the first place  , IMO, a 500W should be ok, and 550W~600W is minimum for today's computing (just my personal preference), and forget those CM, Acbel, or any super-capalang brand (Icute, PowerLogic, Sunshine)... off topic already  @tonny like Shawty said, it could be the driver, ntune (nVIDIA's tuner program), or damaged card... |

well i used to use this tape alcohol, until nothing happen, clean (maybe not same as real thermal compound cleaner), but for me, it's acceptable |

QUOTE(slash @ Aug 16 2007, 05:14 PM) Whats the advantage of dual bios? Not that we flash the bios to unlock anything. Save different speed settings? normally it's for backup BIOS, say we flashed wrong BIOS version, and we unable to boot up (single BIOS) - quite hard la, but iamgine on dual BIOS, just switch the jumper (usually using jumper), voila, you are done with secondary backup BIOS, of course you can do something already corruted BIOS, maybe reflash |

QUOTE(sHawTY @ Aug 16 2007, 07:45 PM) Not true. Your 8600GT Ultra can be reflashed into 8600GTS and runs perfectly on 8600GTS bios. You just have to know where to find it. But beware, i'm not responsible if anything happen.  that's what Dual BIOS came for... |
