I always use the latest version as they tend to be faster when you need them to be such as gaming. Bust Playing Assassins Creed in DX10

Let me know how it goes once you are finished updating it and started playing some games on it

Just ran 3dMark06 with the 169.61 drivers. Everythings stock with no OC on anything.
This is the best pic i can get (im not really used to this program, only used it twice and this is the free version if that makes a difference)

I may need to clean up my drivers a bit though. I tried using driver cleaner but it didnt work for some reason so i had to uninstall it through device manager.


EDIT: I got a link to my score

And heres a Gpu-Z Screenshot I took.

Yes...it looks like a what you should get. Make sure yourr power settings is set to performance mode as it will reduce your cpu and gpu clock speeds

Yea i have it going on high performance. Im gonna see if i can oc it a bit and break 7000 at least. Its gonna be a while till i upgrade the hardware.

Btw whats a safe typical oc and temp for this gfx card? What should i use to check the temps?

I use Ntune to oc and check temps on my video card. A typical safe overclock is 620 on core and 920 on memory.

You can also use everest to check your temps

I just scored 7158 on 3dMark06 with an OC at 575/875. I set the clocks at 620/920 but the status indicators were red on NV Monitor view. The highest I can go without it turning red is 605/915 (its yellow on this setting) so im gonna run 3dMark06 again with those settings. I'll post a link in a little bit.

3dMark06 -7198 @ 605/915

I tryed running it at a slightly higher clock but i got 7193 so i guess i was still within that margin of error. I hate being so close to 7200 lol. is there any way to OC the shader clock?

Not sure...As you overclock the core clock speed the shader goes up, but at a certain point it will reach it's maximum and then start going lower again

Your score is set to private so I can't view it
