My rig:
Athlon XP 1800 (not OC'd yet)
MSI 745 Ultra
256mb Mushkin PC2700 CAS2.5
Radeon 8500 64mb (from Newegg, default 250/275) 6166 drivers (9/12/02)
XP Pro
Chieftec full tower, 2 case fans and 420W PSU
I just downloaded Powerstip and I'm not sure what exactly to do. I have begun to up the core clock and memory, but I'm not sure if there's something else I should be tweaking. So far it did 275/275 no prob, but wouldn't complete 3dmark at 290/290. 290/280 worked though.
But this still seems a bit low to me compared to what others have gotten with this very same card, am I doing something wrong or is it just a YMMV issue? Any ideas?
thanks!
