Scytale,

Which tool did you use to o/c the MAX?

Thanks.

Way to go Scytale!

I only get
3,538 3DMarks and
3,837 CPU 3DMarks
with mine at 800x600 @ 16bit, 3Dmark99MAX with my little 'ol 16MB OEM G400. (Weeks away from the MAX yet).

I guess I got to start O/Cing!

Hi Maggi, see you got an ASUS P2B-S, got an LS here, but my P II 400 won't stand for any of that O/C business.

Do 400 Celerons take to O/C, or is it just the 300's with the faster cache?

Thanks,

SCompRacer1

Hi James, I used the latest (fixed) PowerStrip, version 2.51.07. G200clk doesn't work all the way with the MAX.

SCompRacer, you of all should know what a drop of nitro can do

**Kruzin** · 16 August 1999, 00:51

Am I the only one who noticed his AGP isn't working right? Look at those 32meg texture scores! OUCH!

I know you said you are at 1x, but I don't think you're using AGP at all (which would explain why PCI list still says 2x - it don't know any better). Even 1x should get much better texture scores than that...

**Kruzin** · 16 August 1999, 01:01

For a compairison on the 32meg rendering score, I just ran it (just that one test), and scored 96.5 (yours was 18 at best). I am in 2x mode, running a vanilla 32megDH at MAX speeds...

------------------
PII-450(112x4.5=504), Asus P2B(1010), 128meg PC100, MillG400 32meg DH (5.??/1.?), 3com 3c905b, SBLive!value, (2)USR 56k v.90(multi-linked), WD 6.4&8.4gig, CL PC-DVD, Mitsumi CD-RW, and some other things...

**Scytale** · 16 August 1999, 01:36

Hi Kruzin, by mere coincident I'm sure, I get a similar score like you when running 3DMark99 at 800x600x16

I just checked the scores on Liew's site and my 1024x768x16 scores are in the same range as theirs.

I never tried PCIlist, I think you're confusing me with someone else there. Sandra reports AGP1X+side band though.
The low scores for large textures at 1280x1024x32 would seem typical for AGP1X, I think.

NOW ! 3041(OC STANDARD G400 32 SH) vs 3024(STANDARD G400MAX)

not bad...not bad... me so HAPPY !!

I DONT RECOMEND THOSE SETTINGS.. OC could lead to DAMAGE the Vcard !!!!!!!!!!!!!

**rubank** · 16 August 1999, 03:21

Spider, and also Scytale

I´m sure you could do a bit better
if you just disable vsync.
I noticed you both have quite low refresh rates.

rubank

**Scytale** · 16 August 1999, 03:44

I have seen worse Spider
Thanks rubank, I'll try it.

**Spider** · 16 August 1999, 03:54

he... ! about LOW R.rate I have a ADI 4P 15 inch monitor so 1280x1024 is the highest res. I can go the refresh is a litle low...about Vsync..ofcourse I knowe about that , but I wanted to demonstrate G400MAX default settings with VSYNC ON on my STANDARD G400 32 SH..not pointing @ highest OC score...

**Spider** · 16 August 1999, 03:57

oh ! THNX...THNX...THNX Scytale !!!!!
