REAL method for increase FPS on 15~30% NOT UPGRADE - Page 7

Vlado · February 18th, 2007

Yeah but the new x64 build will be freakin fast

Totenkopf · February 18th, 2007

no noticeable speed increase with this hack on my rig, however IQ seems lower imho - i for one think the "blurry softness" looks gay :P

I wouldn't expect that you would really notice a difference Totenkopf, you are using one of the fastest graphics cards that is being sold today. A bunch of benchmarks/game runs for the GF8800 show it as being CPU limited in many cases(using modern PC games). You might see a speed increase using this if your rig ever becomes GPU limited.

I think what you are calling "blurry softness" looks better than "jagged pixelyness". You can see what I am talking about in the attached screenshots from my post here.

I tried it on my old system as well (athlon 64 2Ghz @ 2.4, 1gb ddr @ 480 2-7-6-10-1t, geforce 6800 non-ultra), which ran ffx at half-speed mostly, and it didn't show any improvement either...still looked kinda fruity though

um offtopic: NICE comp!

StriderVM · February 19th, 2007

Totenkopf : Well, it's because in your old system, you're still limited by the processor, and not the video card......

on topic (sort of) : strider - good point!

although, i don't really agree on the point that on my current system i'm cpu-limited - it depends a lot on the graphical content, since overclocking the (already factory overclocked :P) video card shows more of an improvement in 3d mark than overclocking the cpu - the current 3dmark 06 record holder (k|ngp|n from xtremesystems) got almost 24k points (almost twice my score) with 2 of the same evga 8800 i have in sli and the same evga mb (although truth be told he used quad-core on custom ln2

)

Totenkopf nice PC I have XFX 8800 GTX ... Intel E6300 ...1 GB RAM DDR II Apacer ..... Tagan 600W dual engine power suply and I got 10 000 + in 3D Mark 2006

but...where on earth did you get the Dominator from ??

lova that RAM ...but my question to you is....if you run the emu in Vista....or whatever....do you see pixel shader 4 in the emu??...or the emu just can't recognize ps4 for now....

skoreanime · February 19th, 2007

Offtopic:The dominator series is pretty hard to find. I scoure'd Ebay and a buncha other sites with decent, reasonable prices and that didn't charge and arm and leg to ship to where I live. I just gave up and decided to buy some decent OCZ RAM. Heck, even looking for D9 RAM modules was impossible, though I'd trade my RAM for a 1Gb anyday

. Used the money saved to buy enough comp maintenance supplies to last me a year

you can find dominator's at most enthusiast hardware companies in Bucharest, i had the whole system custom-built by /// pc-coolers.ro (they've built my old system as well and they're one of the few companies over here that offer warranty on overclocked systems). if you're interested in buying dominator's though, i strongly advise you not to buy the "high-end" ones that are supposed to run at 2.4v stock, as i've seen lots of posts on evga's forum about them frying in 30-60 days without any overvolting...

as for the vista question, i couldn't honestly tell you, since i haven't installed it yet - i'm waiting for more mature drivers and more than just supreme commander (which is the only game i've seen so far that has dx10 support) to come out

edit: skoreanime - the 2gb 6400c4d dominator's i have are about 285 eur incl. VAT over here, which i honestly find dirt cheap, but that doesn't include transportation

Holy bajebus, the EUR dominates the CDN. I'd have to pay $437.96 before taxes and shipping rofl! I paid $280 for mine. Seeing that just made me even more content

.

Topic:Tried this on my laptop, boosted it to almost 50fps in FFX! Didn't do much on my desktop though, no noticeable difference. Then again, my current GPU is sub-par

sob... my normal OEM place where I like to buy hardware from charges 360 CDN! that's a lot compared to 200 usd...
this should probably go in HW discussion, but does the dominator series make that much diff compared to good OCZ or other Corsair RAM (pc2-6400?)
