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.

well, if you invested 1-2 mins of your precious time into using google, you would have found this:

from what i gathered - it increases your GPU frequency, but only under heave load (when gaming) that's why you didn't see anything in GPU-Z

"...allows to increas the frequency of the chipset graphic core..."

Ummm, seems to me this applies to a board like my GA-G33M-DS2R, which has onboard graphics. I'm not using it, and you probably aren't either if you play games, so making that setting change either won't do anything or it will add heat.

hmm, binh when u set it to turbo did it show the oc on a programme like gpu-z, like was the core clock or memory clock higher... because on mine they are at default and when i run a game they seem mto stay at default (i havnt really found a good way to test), but my fps has increased in games

so tbh i have no idea xD .. any1 else?

but the thing is programmes arnt showing a overclock, can u actually see your overclock? like in a programme or do they say default settings but ur getting better performance? this is really confusing me xD

xD zoz u posted 2 secs after me, river tuner dont work with me coz i got vista 64 but plz post ur results

I can actually see my overclock, my mem and core are higher than default settings under auto if i set it to turbo, and i can see this all the time with monitoring programs weather in game or not.

Ok to see the if the R.G.B is working just download AtiTool and run a Artifact Scan, and after about 30sec. open up GPUZ or something smiler and check the clock speeds.

1337th post! leet!

i use nVidia system monitor and some biostar app that came with the card, cant remember the name off hand, but nVidia system monitor i trust to give the correct frequencies.

nice searching m8 on tht pc perspective i cant believe tht was the results they get when i get quite a bit of extra fps
