9700np = 4759 !! what else can be done??

nu2this · Jun 10, 2003, 01:28 AM

after installing the omega drivers and scoring 4600 the other day, i cranked up the system to it's max( 2.4 @ 2.76----on air) and now get 4759 in 3d-03. what, if anything, else could be done to this card?? or is this it's maximum? card is a sapphire 9700 np. i' ve read a lot in here about the 9700 pro bios that can be installed-----good or bad idea? ( card now at 337/310......any higher in either= artifacts)
oh, and on a side note, why do i only get 0 - 5 fps in trool's lair....on the cpu test, is this normal? ( cpu scores 197----is this a problem area that i need to address?)

sys: 2.4a o/ced @ 2.76 (on air) (hopefully getting 2.4c-----soon!!)

which settings?? ( sorry, newb here!!) as i didn't install the control panel as per instructions.

do you mean the ones in direct3d and open gl ??

yep the openGL and the d3d settings. though OGL will have no affect on 2k1 or 2k3 benches as they are d3d benches

And why did you not install the CP as per instructions? how did you install it?

omega drivers automatically install CP w/o an extra installer.
