Ok, I bought an x1900 AIW for a few reasons:
-I need to do video editing
-I need to play games
-I want the latest and greatest
I took this over the x1800 because of the 48 shaders and higher overclockablity. Stock my x1900 AIW runs at 500/475. I can OC it with my watercooling setup and Swiftech RAMsinks to 650/690(stable with ATItool). Huge overclocking headroom, but only one problem. FEAR get pretty laggy at times. Call me a whiner, but I was hoping for much more smoothness. Although I can turn Softshadows off, I like softshadows. So having-my-cake-and-eating-it-too is what I am sticking too. Any thoughts? Check my sig and let me know what you think. Also, with this setup I am having boot issues, but only with Cat 6.3, NOT Cat 6.2. And call this a n00b mistake, but I am having my BIOS reset to default every once in awhile. Could this be in part to having my CPU voltage on Auto? Any tips would be great guys! Thanks!
