oh, becouse i have been looking on rage 3d forum, and people have been messeing with there agp voltage ot overclock a X1800XL ot higher speeeds, i just wanted to see if raising the voltage would enable me to get my core up to 600mhz on the x800xtpe
The AGP voltage is one of those settings that sounds like it'll help, but really doesn't do anything from my experience. While having the right parts helps, you have to remember that overclocking comes down to luck to a certain extent.
oh, so i must just be out of luck, becouse it seems like my card is underperforming, it might just be me, just, when i used this far cry benchmark, had everyhting to max, 1280x1024 res, 16xAF 6xAA and ultra settings on the benchmark program, and using open gl, i was getting about 12.2fps on avarage, max was 30fps, most of the time it was going about 8fps :(
This is because nVidia cards are usually stronger in OpenGL than their ATi counterparts. I think some time in November, ATi will officially release their OpenGL enhanced driver which dramatically improved OpenGL performance with their cards.
apparently this new drivers makes x8xx series loose performace, benchmarks proove it, and i have tried these so called enhanced drivers, i am using 5.11 at moment, there not doing anything for me :\
