Re: [gentoo-user] Nvidia GeForce 3 Ti500
Glad to know it's not just me and my card is about normal! I have an Asus A7M266-D board with the AMD chipset on it. I've run AGPGART and had no trouble and am now running Nvidia's AGP and so far haven't had any trouble. On Fri, 30 May 2003 22:13:42 -0400 Brett I.

Thanks, Ernie. I'm running 1024x768. It's good to know that the drop is normal. I guess Gears doesn't like full maximized windows. I'm not going to mess with overclocking.

I'm running 1920x1440 at the moment and framerate drops from 5820 F/sec to 210 F/sec when I maximize the window. Overclocking the card with NVclock (core and memory + 10%) give me 6270 and 230 F/sec.glxgears -- Brett I. Holcomb AKA Grunt -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I notice no jitter or nasty artifacts until I get to 20% over on the core speed. Heat doesn't seem to be an issue to me with my copper heatsink and fan. -- Regards, Ernie 100% Microsoft and Intel free -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
Re: [gentoo-user] Nvidia GeForce 3 Ti500
Yes, it has a fan. However, I'm not a fan of overclocking anything. I may try it later when I have time. Right now I'm troubleshooting a RAID problem that is very intermittant and trying to get a backup system going so if I loose the RAID again I can recover without the install!

That's why I've never owned a system with a VIA chipset. They have too many problems. On Sat, 31 May 2003 11:05:04 -0400 Brett I.
