Uhmm...RivaTuner reports that my current clock settings are:

Core: 275
Mem: 1050.

nVidia's specifications cite core: 400, mem 1000, and XFX (and reviewers of
this brand's card) say it's OC'd 'out of the box' to 450/1050.

What's going
onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn?!?!?!!?!?

Any help is much appreciated...cuz I'm kinda freaked out here.

Isn't Sony shipping SDKs to developers just now? By the time the PS3 gets
released, with a decent game lineup, the 7800GT certain wouldn't be as much
as a PS3.

O.

I think I may have embarassed myself. Am I reading RivaTuner/nVidia display
panel correctly in that the card reduces the core clock to 275 when in 2D
(Windows environment), but will push it up to 450 when it goes into 3D
(games)?
If that's the case, then everything is fine.
I'm just not used to RivaTuner and I tried looking for manuals or guides but
ahhhh!

I'm sorry. I'll go back to being a fool and just try to hide myself in WoW
or FarCry or Vamp The Masquerade.....

I freaked the first time I ran RivaTuner on my 6600GT. I
thought mt PSU was causing it to downclock till I realized it was the
2D setting I was reading.

Depends.

http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2005/08/11/bfgtech_xfx_7800gt/4.html

That's for the 7800GT...but I think the GTX and 6800XX series might be
different.

But, it's not that much of a difference, IMHO. I wanted OCd and a good
brand, and a good package of bits and pieces. XFX came with a few games
(FarCry!! being one of them), and it would have been a nightmare trying to
get a BFG7800GT here in Australia right now.

Why on earth would I want to?
without getting to another PC v Console debate....personally, I've matured
from consoles.

I told you, in a.g.t, remember? Your memory's failing old fella! ;)
A'64 3700+

As for XP64...I've heard bugs. It's too much effort. And don't I need to buy
XP all over again? I dunno...I haven't done much research. But I've seen the
screenshots of 'before' and 'after' FarCry....it's unbelievably tempting.

You could dual boot like McG if you just want to try it out?

Yeah that's good idea, and I've thought about it...but even then the trial
is only 10 days, and let's face it, I'd only need it for FarCry!
Honestly I just couldn't be arsed! I just bought all this new hardware, so
I've had to enjoy the rigours of fiddling around with an OS for the past few
weeks...I so very can't be stuffed doing *that* for quite some time! ;)

Maybe when I get a new 8MB/ 16MB HDD...or....I might be able to get a nice
19" LCD for my Birthday/ Xmas!!

Then of course, I really should buy a new case....sigh....once you start
buying bits for your computer, it never ends!!

I think this says more about the PS3 than about the 7800GT...
