@ JPM, its amazing how these "top" benchers lack simple logic!! Anyway I ran a few more tests today, 3dmark, q3 and so on. and increasing the memory clock made more of a difference in ALL the test.. I put the GPU at stock. Then clocked the mem up 30Mhz, Then tried with the core up 30Mhz. H...

3dmark 01 seems to be more cpu dependant. the others are more dependant on a fast graphics card.

ok fine... Right back at ya

my new card has 128mb ddr 3

tested it with both my cards and ocing the mem made more difference

no i understand that.. but cloking the mem makes more of a difference than clocking the core... on all modern GPUs the mem clok is at least 1,5x the clock of the core usually more.........

I agree that clocking them both up will obviously make more of a difference...

if it has none to unlock how do u explain the 2 pixel quads shown in the above screenshot.. for those who dont know, each pixel unit represents 4 pipelines

shlebib u freek, u the one who made that comment by "sash99". I know u cant resist me but somethings u need to keep to urself.

I dont think sash99 was even online today

dont worry too much bout the core clock. overclocking the memory gives u a better performance boost. ouch..this was a good one...rofl... wtf do u mean by that.... memory bandwidth is more important than peak fill rate. Most of the time the card isnt utilising its peak fill rate to its full potentia...

ill sell u my force feedback wheel for 250. fishzn was supposed to buy it but he seems to have opted not to

im intrested in how long the file took to decompress. It could be miss reporting its size.

heres how to do it.

use this program.

Then go to target adapter
customize
Allow enabling hardware masked units
Customize.

then look for pixel units or vertex units with an X next to them and click on it to change to a tick

dont worry too much bout the core clock. overclocking the memory gives u a better performance boost.

Use rivatuner to unlock the pipes.

just confirming. it is (or was) a seagate.
It died a very slow and eventful death.

@sleb. How many times do have to tell u to STOP giving away my secrets.

heres a link to a thread which i posted links for benchies.

if the unlock was successful u will see a huge difference

Hendrix wrote:are there any pipes in my ati 9550 to unlock?,,,how many pipes does my card have anyway?

ati 9550 has 4 pipes and there are none to unlock.

500 extra 3dm 05
1800 extra 3m 01

no!
there are none to unlock.

Those 6600 however oc f***king well.
I got a 6600 Diamond edition and oced the mem 400Mhz!! (from 800 to 1200)
with no extra cooling.

the thermaltake one is not that gr8, it go the worst score in NAGs cooling supertest.
Its expensive and only cooled an additional 4 degrees compared to 7 degrees by most other coolers. Da other 2 are really good apparently

I got 6600 Diamond and i go
