Getting dodgy gameplay

8800gt = slower bus???

My 8800gt was working fine earlier but for some reason I am now

As in its running at x1 mode????

When browsing bios, it is also very very laggy. Oh dear

 

[deathwish]

fixed

Its now back up to x16 after bios resetting which also means stock speeds on CPU. Just got 8475 3dmarks. Is this respectable on a stock e6300, 2gb of ram @ 5-5-5-15 and stock evga 8800gt?

edit:

It goes back to x1 everytime i overclock. Goes to x16 when bios is set to default

Maybe needs a BIOS update?

Really shouldn't be doing that...

 

[mrapoc]

Its on latest bios :|

I dont get it

 

[mrapoc]

I dont know if this is related but...there are a few bottom fan motherboard headers that seem to not work/provide too low a voltage. So fans plugged in go slow or not at all.

 

[!TIMMY!]

What are u using to oc?

 

[mrapoc]

Ok for future reference i have fixed it!!?!

I was using bios ^

Basically i went into bios and set southbridge voltage to a respectable level (1.7v) then went to the gpu bus speed. This is about 100 as default. Setting this to 110 actually set my card back to full speed

Im a happy...overclocked bunny again !!

Just got 11062 on 3dmark06

Welcome to the P5B Deluxe. Try playing with various mch, southbridge, etc voltages. Also, 0610 BIOS worked for me (fixed this, because of the double boot).

EDIT: I see you set PCI-E to 110, this is also a known "fix" for some. Good work
