I like the flipflops Elf. nice touch. Also like the huge tripod with the small webcam on it. hehe

flipflops are my girlfriends and the tripod with the webcam is actually pointing at the wall where i have a pegbar attached. i use the webcam for inputting pencil tests with traditional animation. the nice scanner was bought for the purpose of doing traditional animtion. ya gotta have an autofeeder when doing that.

The inside of my work beast!

Mathew Everett:
hehe i was talking about the PCI cooler.
I already have a Leadtek 7800GTX
Thats the suckah that gets hot. Frames dont seem quite as high as i would have hoped, not sure if its the card or something...meh..
What do you get in 3dmark05 with that card dude?

I get the following:

CPU info - AMD Athlon 64 4000+ Clawhammer at 2.61Ghz


3D Mark 2003 - 15,390


3D Mark 2005 - 7,451


CS:S Stress Test - 156.47fps

Nice scores Mate.

I get similar, but i think ur cpu speed helps a little.

3dmark03 = 15299
That was using my older Athlon 3000+ at stock speeds (1.8ghz)
So i reckon that was holding it back a fair bit.

3dmark05 = 7600
This was on the x2, but everything stock.

Odd thing is 3dmark03 and 05 pick up the VGA memory clock as 1197mhz and the VGA core clock at 275mhz.
These are far below the stock specs, but it may just be reporting it wrong.
If i give the card a little OC its jumps to 8200 in 3dmark05.

[Mathew Everett]

I have been affrad to Oc My card....as I have heard of bad things happening because of it. But I have been very intrested in doing it.... Do you know a good program for ocing the 7800's? I was going to just up the pci slot but that wont show me what the Mhz on the GC are!

As long as your overclock in moderation everything should be peachy...
This is what you need

Not only does it unlock a handy overclocking tab but a few more options for opengl and direct3d as well.

It even has a button where it will find the best overclock possible for you. Im not sure how accurate this is as it changes a little each time you do it. But its certainly a good starting point.

[Mathew Everett]

thanks Bud I will see what I can do

[Mathew Everett]

well I OC'ed my 7800 GT from 445Mhz to about 484Mhz and kept it stable throught 3Dmark 03 and 3Dmark 05, it is amazing what about 40Mhz of core clock can do on this bad boy. I also pushed my CPU to 2.71Ghz. After this test I rolled things back 25% less as GPU was getting a bit hot, "around 78C" so now It is running about 57C at full load and my CPU has never peaked 57C. It is now at 2.64Ghz and runs at about 44C under a full load. Ideals around 38C thanks to my Artic Cooler, that thing works like a champ

3DMark 03 - 16,080

3DMark 05- 8,128

[DaForce]

Nice!!! A health boost in your scores

Fairly easy with coolbits hey.

[Mathew Everett]

Very Much healthy, I like what CoolBits opens up, I kept trying to hit 500Mhz core clock, but it kept failing so I rolled it back to a more stable setting, I did get the Memery to 1.28Ghz

[DaForce]

I think i got mine to 505/1310 or something. Its been awhile since i played with it.

[Mathew Everett]

well yours is a GTX right? mine is only the GT
