MSI 6800 GT

snailtrail83 · 28th September 2004, 10:34 AM

I put together a new system the other day, and got a 3dmark03 score of 10678.

The system is completely stock at the moment and consists of:
- AMD64 3200+
- MSI 6800GT
- Gigabyte K8NS-Pro
- 1gb Kingmax ram (Couldn't afford any better...

)

Is this a decent score for a completely stock system?

yeah that looks good for a stock system, similar to wat i got wen i put my 6800gt in n ran 3dmark 03

i have a simalar system except i have a vanilla 6800 overclcoked and is my cpu and ram and i squeeze 9700

Sounds pretty good to me.
I got 11611 from my box with stock configuration.

I'm running 2 sticks of 512mb DDR400. Correct me if i'm wrong, but doesn't the vanilla version only have 12 active pipelines?

yup its not in your league
i was going to suggest running the ram at 200 (default for 2 sticks is 166)but i wouldnt be sure the normal kingmax would do it happilly...that would boost the scores up(unless you are running at 200 in which case i,ll go sit down and shut the hell up

)

PraZStaR · 28th September 2004, 9:24 PM

Sometimes when I am playing a game, i toggle back to my windows desktop. Several times now, when I have toggled back to the game, I get a blue screen (bios stating that operation of my system has been stopped due to potential damages that can occur). I have to manually restart the computer to regain normal functionality.

Other problems:
- mouse pointer in games tends to flicker abnormally.
- sometimes when playing games, images freeze up for a split second. Iyou can hardly notice it, but i don't expect a $700 video card to do this when playing games like fifa 2005 and tiger woods 2005.

I don't know if this has been caused by installing the latest drivers. It seems to have occured after I have done this, but then again, the computer is new so I hadn't played much games prior to this.

Does anyone have any suggestions to what may be wrong?

turn off fast writes, set 2D clock the same as 3D clock.

snailtrail83 · 11th October 2004, 9:38 PM

i have left everything on my computer stock.

snailtrail83 · 11th October 2004, 9:45 PM

I currently have the 66.81 drivers installed. Will installing the official 61.76 drivers help?

Apparently there are problems with the MSI geforce 6800 bios.

Take a look at this article. http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=17887

According to the forum linked on that site, someone successfully flashed their bios using the nvidia reference bios and all their problems disappeared.
