It is that time of the year when folks in the Northern Hemisphere are freezing their bollocks off.

And the lads and lasses in the South are out frolicking in the sun and surf.

I have been in VBios hell this past week. I was successful but every time I would run CF my frame rate went to chit. I finally got that all sorted out now with a test run that showed improvement from my last run @ 5278 MHz. Some really nice scores posted up guy’s real nice.

Nice meankeys, you can disable the feature tests in Vantage to cut down on run time, very nice Graphics score

Thanks Menthol
Good to know. I started to use afterburner that seems to be working better than trix for me. Also I read dart talk about LOD settings may better your score. Is that more of a Nvidia setting than AMD?

Great!!

Nodens...if your 3930 only does 4.5 at reasonable voltage you'd only need 4.2 or 4.3 out of a 4930K to match what you have, performance wise....I'd be tempted to look at IB-E


I know. That's the only reason I'm looking at it. If I had an above average 3930K I would not bother. 😉

It's not Nvidia specific. Read this to understand LOD:http://www.beyond3d.com/content/articles/69/

Ask if you have any questions afterwards:)

Nice meankeys! I would disable the feature tests too...not needed for the score.

LOD...I think works for AMD too...http://hwbot.org/newsflash/2368_adjust_lod_on_amdati_graphics_cards_on_the_fly_with_quicklod

Or you could just use the Elmor LOD6b tool.

I was not sure if we were allowed to change any of the settings or if they would effect the score.

How can I tell if my memory and page file are setup properly in XP for wazza? if I go to computer then properties it reads 600 total. I will post a sceeny of my task manager performance tab later when I get time to play .

Viz cant seem to find anything on that LOD6b tool by Elmor ty
