Guys, i could use some help...

[FB]

First,
is there somewhere that has a nice guide on how to properly set up a NV card??? the control panel for my new 6800GT is like reading Klingon or something. Since this is my first card i am confused on some of the options.

Second,
Is there something better than Coolbits to OC, i read somewhere that when you enable Coolbits, you loose AA/AF controls if you set the card to High quality i don't want that. Can rivatuner OC?

Thirdly,
I think my benchmarks are low, but that may be due to some remnents of ATI on my system still. I am reinstalling tomorrow, so that should take care of that.
My benchies are :
3dmark2k1, 15,972 points
3dmark2k3, 10,524 points.
the 2k3 score seems to be pretty decent, but the 2k1 score still seems quite slow to me, since my system is older, but is definetly no slouch.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

these are the "basic benchmarking settings".
AA & AF are up to you, but the optimizations need to be on or youll lose alot of performance and gain practicaly no quality.

HTH :)

what optimizations?

and what about my other questions??

use rivatuner it clocks as well as turning off the throttling. make sure you delete coolbits from the reg first and make sure you are at stock speeds before you delete coolbits. install riva if you don't know what a certain thing duz right click and it will tell you...if you still don't understand don't fool with that option. rook was right again riva is the BOMB!!! don't know how i lived with out it. :thumb:

i saw that, so in the options on the left, there is a place to turn those on and off??

what overall setting do i want to use for my GT, performance or quality?

[ThugsRook]

you want to use exactly what i posted in the screenshot.

well i have reinstalled everything, now i get
17,277 in 3dmark2k1
11,692 in 3dmark03

good enough for me.
