Page 26 SLI (3) and Overclocking

 Serous Sam 2 HDR & 16xAF

Dang - we are running into CPU limitation here though.

Splinter Cell 3 : Chaos Theory 16xAF & HDR enabled

Goink... Spank me baby!

3DMark 06 - Default run

Bazoom! (so I ran out of original words, sue me). Well enough is enough ..

A touch of Overclocking

Obviously we wanted to include some results on overclocking. Unfortunately NVIDIA's ForceWare drivers at this time do not support it. Here's the thing, if you have an nForce mainboard, a new revision of nTune will allow you to overclock the core and memory, not the shader processors though. nTune however runs BAD on my PC. I can't get the thing properly running without crashing on me, yes it's true.

With the help of an undisclosed beta piece of "external" software I was able to fool around with the two clocks. Now I was able to boost the 570 MHz core to 610 MHz easily and also the 1800 MHz memory frequency to (2x) 1020 MHz.

I figured it would be nice to set some sort of new 3Dmark06 "personal" record and then boosted the CPU to 3.4 GHz to give me some extra powerrr...

Okay ready? ...15294 points of 3DMark06.
