har??i tot i posted screen shots long ago...
just cannot OC before this, i figured out it's related to voltage, so if 1.2v is just enuf to run 512MB, i can imagine 1.1V running 512M have artifacts...
just think that this info might help some others in flashing, so i posted my little discovery here

ya, just the lighting of the terrain..
certain layer of the terrain(mostly those far away forest and land terrain) will blink continuously from the original colour to a slightly whiter colour..
just some minor stuff, can definitely bear with it

u got someone offering u too??
i think he is aiming at modable cards only..

btw, u mention my card will spoil? why is that?

haha...how come u wanna offer us?? u wan 100% moddable is it??

(that's why don talk ppl behind them, sure will get caught....hahaha)

before flash no problem, even before OC no problem....
just that after overlock, a layer of artifact appear, and strangely, it only occur at right side of the screen...and just for far away terrains

slayer, get ur sub card a 3rd party cooler...that might help

wow, now it sounds like gaming is suffering to u...

slayer, i suggest u change to those zalman fan that is wide open, so that u can still get decent cooling effect for ur sub card

if this happen, that means that either SLI-ing this card don help much on performance, or means that ur graphic card is no longer ur bottle neck, it's some other hardware..(maybe some other apps are using the same HD when u play)

just wanna ask, will overheating cause artifacts?? this morning when i was playing crysis, suddenly got artifact appear, and i minimize to check the temp, it was about 90-92 C

don be so sure they blur, most of the time they just act dumb to prevent some s**ts to happen...like he say can mod, they u cannot mod and take back to make noise...

yes, there are ppl that succeeded, i am one of them, but recently the card is running quite unstable... i reset to normal clock speed(normal OC clock speed that is...), but the temp went up quite fast....i played crysis for about 40mins, and the temp hit 93C..
not to mention, i stop the game that time not because i notice the temp of my card, it's because got artifacts appear, then i close and check temp....
i dunno why it go so high..(maybe cos my air con off d..), but i kinda feel the pain Slayer have before this...maybe i should direct the hot air out with a paper, i remember someone suggested this method earlier in this thread....

Magic tuner as in Xtreme Tuner?? i guess u miss some buttons at the bottom of the interface...
beside the "Flash BIOS" button, there is a save setting...u just press on that button, and mark the "save settings before quit', and ur clock speed will be saved and applied the nest time u boot up

dunno ler, using xtreme tuner says the fan 100% speed...my temp reach so high when i playing crysis, inside the alien ship somemore....otherwise, it's 80+...also, i notice that if i turn on AA, artifacts will appear, but when i turn off, everything runs nice and smooth......

Take note that i didnt overclock also reach 90C for crysis, but that's also because i am playing later stage, where all the smoke, lighting come to heavy(snowy weather)...not to mention when it's good weather at the island, it's already reaching 80C...

For your information(not being offensive), this thread is for galaxy card....u suggest u to find a MSI thread and ask them, cos different manufacturer different material, so u cannot just ask and compare like this...u can also try urself, and try benchmarking and see got artifact a not, but asking here is just not the suitable solution for u

no lar...u must know, US weather lower then us here, then when winter comes, it's like using water cooling because of the cold weather there...

Modded bios running, i am using xtreme tuner to monitor my temp....

dunno ler..see what's the price for 4850, maybe gonna let my card go...can sell higher price also since modable...

ur casing have good air flow?? cos mine is quite closed up actually, mine at the GSO OC default clock speed, and playing crysis will make me reach 90C at later levels....


just one question that i wanna ask u, ur motherboard supports PCI-E x16?? if there is such card slot, that means recent graphic card can be supported by ur card...

that means not enuf voltage to go higher...last time i also like that after mod but didnt set jumper to 1.3V...
btw, u mind posting screenies on what u do to ur card....i really need to kill off a few degree so that it remain lower then 80, or stay away from 90 at least...

u can always try to increase the voltage manually, but too bad i dunno how to do it, u gotta ask those dudes at overclocking forum

that's what i do to my heat sink now...plus, i decrease my voltage, so now crysis even at later stages also won reach 80C...great success....

try to clock others that have more room for u to clock...as u can see from the meter, memory is almost to the limit....
try shader and GPU, they also have big roles in gaming...

ya...i kinda sacrifice memory clock speed for higher CPU and shader...btw, dunno why when i play crysis, i use default clock speed, or underclock a bit also still got minor artifacts at some pipes or part of the far away floor like that...
before this i mention the far away ground will blink very fast with/without shadow like that, but that one only appear when i turn on AA

Added on June 22, 2008, 1:33 pmbut other games don have....so far bioshock constantly at 60fps....very happy to see that....
