Ok, if your running your card at 8x...apparently it'll disable SBA (side
band addressing) automatically...force that sucka on..I used that nv hardpage to open up the new option of hardware options, and set the sba to forced on. Guess what? HALO SCREAMS! Im not even overclocking! Then I ran some quick little benches on 3dmark03, and the tests were much faster! I'll do a full test tonight. I was just amaze that SBA made that thing go so damn fast! I think I'll be keeping this card :-D -E-rich |

Just use NVHARDPAGE, and activate hardware options. Then itll be there. I
think you have to enable it each time. "The Bad Momber" wrote in message ... can you post a link to enabling side band addressing? I have never tried that and it might help my system out I'm still stuck with AGP 4X "E-rich" wrote in message t...

I'll be doing that tonight. Most noticebly, in Aquamark 3, in the demo and
such, with SBA on it bumped frames up by 5! So instead of chuging at like 19, it was giving me 24, which hey, i'll take what i can get with DX9 and this card. But yes, later this evening I will post some benches "The Bad Momber" wrote in message ... Be sure and post some benchmarks I'm anxious to see them. It should give me an idea of what I can expect when I get all my upgrades installed. If you can post old scores and new scores so we can see the differences. thanks "E-rich" wrote in message t...
