Gigabyte Robust Graphics Booster??

Hi all,

ive just been looking through my bios and found a robust graphics booster (i will call r.b.g from now) option which has a decription saying enhances VGA cards perfromance.

there are 3 options... auto, fast, turbo
so since i have great cooling on my 8800gt (thermaltake duorb - load = 48c) i decided to put it on turbo and try it out

but when i looked at GPU-Z there hasnt been a change in core clock or memory clock but on C:Source max settings on dust i went from 140-170fps to 180-240fps

does anyone know what it does? because this obviously an amazing otion in my opinion.

I found this link on it from gigabyte but it doesn't really explain it in detail: http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/FileLis [...] PX_RGB.htm
"GIGABYTE's R.G.B. optimized graphics cards pump GPU and VGA memory performance to the max"
It does sound interesting if it really increased your fps rate.

ill try it out, i seen that first link but closed it when it didnt loook like my bios xD
urm ill reply once tested

Used to set it to Turbo to OC my 7600GT on 945P-DS3. It ran fine for a year before I upgraded to 8800GT and P35-DS3. Everest showed core and memory oc'd by 10% and 5% respectively. I read somewhere R.G.B is safely tweaked by Gigabyte engineers, so it's free to try.

I've also got a Gigabyte board with R.G.B. and it dose exactly what you've described, it OC's the mem and core frequency on the graphics card. In my case this doesn't result in much of a FPS boost, but then again I'm running a 7900GS so that's probably why. Hopefully with two 8800GT's that I'm getting next week I'll see some better results, but than again I probably wont need a boost then (;

And to answer an earlier question I do see the mem and core frequency increase in my monitoring programs.

to see what happens during the game, run Rivatuner. ITs graphs will show you how respective frequencies changed. In fact, since I have a Gigabyte board, I'm gonna do that myself.

Results to follow.

damn it. I ran the fuzzy cube, and I ran Oblivion - rivatuner showed no changes in frequencies.

what programme u use?
to see core and memory

doing what u said my clocks havnt changed

With some additional googling I found this test showing improved game performance from PC Perspective.
