Overclock the GPU for benching or for 24/7 use.

rivatuner doesn't work right for over clocking the 8800m gts cards, but it will change a few settings though.

Install desktop drivers with the modded .inf and it works. It essentially thinks the laptop card is a desktop card.

i kind of explained all this in another thread on why rivatuner wont over clock an 8800m gts true 3d clocks, but if you have some sort of work around then by all means...share. lol

Ok, so a couple of questions.

1) Should I replace the stock 4GB of RAM in the machine
2) Which socket P cpu should I get? (Im looking at the T9300)

Also, this ones tricky, but does anyone have drivers that work with FFXI and this machine? I just cant get it to run right on Vista ; ;

Ok so the original unanswered question. What do you use to overclock the GPU if Rivatuner doesn't work?
I am using the modded inf file.

hey, i just got the 6860 vista 64bit, and im trying to install C&C3, and it keeps telling me to install directx 10, and yet it already has it on here. is it just a driver issue or what??

I never managed to have CNC3 working no 64-bit, for various reasons and different errors. You might want to try to run into compatibility mode with XP SP2 and make sure that you run the game as an admin.

I need a lil help. I am totally new to PC gaming, for many years I have consoled gamed. After much research, I stumbled across the 6860fx which seems to be the best bang for your buck. Best Buy currently has it on sale for 1099.00. Since I really dont know much about computers on the technical side, updating and tweaking will be something in the future. That all being said, out of the box how does this system perform? All I want to do is load a game and go (crysis, supreme commander, etc). Thanks in advance.
