Re: Building my own PC

I ran 3Dmark05 on a 9800 128mb and was quite suprised that it coped with it....which I was pleased about.
Not great obviously and the scores are much better in 01 but still those test scenery in 05 loook pretty nice.

Re: Building my own PC

After looking at the clock speeds on my card I've had to post on a support forum about what I found. The memory on mine is running at 184mhz (368mhz), which all of the 8500LEs I have found run at at least 225MHZ (450MHZ).

Will have to see what answer I get

The second link shows the 128MB version, I have the 64MB version and also mine has no TV or VGA out, only DVI (so it's half the size).

This is a bit better.............5% CPU o/c, GPU screaming it's guts out and settings set for 'performance' rather than 'quality'
