System Optimization

[Zenocrates]

After getting a 1700 on 3dMark06 (Ive never used it before, so might of set it up wrong) I decided to look around for some sort of optimization guide to get the most out of your PC/GPU. I saw one here a while ago but lost the link. If anyone has some tips/links please inform me.

AMD Athlon 64 3500+
Geforce 6800xt 256mb
1gig ddr400 3200 corsair

I thought id get higher than a 1700... Maybe I did something wrong, That seen right or no. But If anyone has something that explains some optimizational settings :)

Re: System Optimization

That wasnt much according to your system... Make shure Antialiasing is turned off, defrag your harddrive, and update your graphics drivers... Thats what i can think of right now...
Hmm... and shut down any other software etc that might be running in the background...

Re: System Optimization

1700 in 06 sounds about right for that card. If you check the ORB at Futuremark there is only 7 results using your cpu clockspeed (assuming stock speed). There are a couple of scores over 2000, but I have a feeling that those were run in a SLI configuration.

Overclocking is the best thing you can do.

Re: System Optimization

I suppose i should try it, Now that i have the Celcius Display on this pc, usually around 40deg c. after gaming for a while.

I believe tweakguides had a decent nvidia overclock guide. correct?

Got the overclocking all set up, Is it safe to say that the GPU is the lacking part? So overclocking would do me any good
