wow Open1Your1Eyes0 how do you get your memory clocked so high?
mine maxes out at 1101 on the memory

Really lucky I guess. This is also 100% Furmark stable with temps maxing at 48*C after 20 mins (because of watercooling). I doubt that memory is stable because of watercooling because my other Zotac GTX295 gets 1200 mhz RAM stable on air in Furmark also (temps go all the way up to 98*C after 5 mins though).

also I found that I was getting better fps with
191.07 but had some issues with the driver itself (gas grenade in cod5 was really weird)

I'm running stock coolers and so far the max temperature I've hit was only 69 degrees Celsius (not bad right?)
would overclock it more but due to the voltage limitation of my card I cannot get past this (704 on the clock is what I've actually hit but thats not 100% stable so...) without voiding my warranty (I would need to do a voltage mod, not happening lol)

I'm running my 295 (sandwitch) on a dangerden waterblock in a loop with my Core i7 920 c0 and 2 BI Radiators (360 gtx and 240 extreme). Ive got a tested and rock solid OC of 640/1380/1110, and am currently experementing 675/1458/1172. If that goes well I'll bump it up to 704/1518/1221. Sorry I don't have any records of it so you'll just have to trust me on this one. Tools I'm using are Nvidia Control Panal with Perfomance extension, ATiTool 0.27, FarCry2 Benchmark, and my lovely collection of games . Wish me luck

Make sure you're forcing AFR1 while running ATItool.

Well I thought i joined a long time ago but i guess i didnt. My GTX295 is at 625/1476/1100(2200).

now i have had this fealing i have a bad video card yet it still works... here is my benchmark results for the crysis timedemo with 1920x1200 Very High settings 0AA, 2xAA, 4xAA, 8xAA

Why are the Average FPS so close?

It *appears* based on those results that you are CPU-bottlenecked on Crysis at those settings with a GTX295 and a q6600 at stock clocks. I'd not have expected to see you bottlenecked at such a low fps with that proc at stock, I'd have guessed it'd cap you out at more like 30 or maybe 35 fps, not 20fps ...

But that 'profile' of fps readings, where the number barely drops at all between 0xAA and 8xAA ... that sure looks like what happens when you have a cpu-bottleneck going on. I'm not saying it must be that, but ... it strikes me as reasonable first guess, put it that way. It could also mean you had something else running on your machine that was eating up cpu cycles. Or it could be something else entirely ... but I'm inclined to think it's some sort of bottleneck because my card will do like 45+ fps on that test without any AA, and like 36 with 8xAA.

Could you maybe try this same run again this time just dropping the shaders (and nothing else) down to medium, and let's see what happens?

Ok ill try that in a second. im going to OC my CPU to 3.8 and see if that changes anything much
