Yes yes, yet another problem with my new card...It wont overclock!!! Well....yes, it will however I was playing fallout 3 (Everything maxed, shadows off, HDR and AA set to 8x 1680 resolution) and I was getting a solid 42 FPS in front of Megaton, where that little robot is and when I tried overclocking it, it stayed the same. My default clocks are 1800 Memory, 600 GPU, 1500 Shaders, and it will only let me overclock to about 950 memory (950x2 = 1900, because of the GDDR3) and 1800 shaders. (And people that have the same card as me can overclock up to 1000-1100mhz on the memory..I cant, my game will crash :l)
I have tried 3 programs, RivaTuner, nTune and ATI tool, none of which worked (nTune worked on my fan though, I can hear it) So this only leads me to believe that my CPU, once again, is bottle necking my card. I started an older topic for that and its still somewhere on the first page I think.
Another thing, lowering my resolution or anti aliasing does NOT improve my FPS at ALL, it just makes the game look like pewp (HDR has about a 20 FPS influence on it though ^^)
Any ideas? (PS: Would SLI'ing this card be worth it, and do you think it will be able to play games 2 years down the road?)
My three biggest concerns are:
CPU: e2200 Pentiuam Dual CPU @ stock speed (2.2 ghz)
RAM: 3GB of some sort of ram...anyways
OS: Vista 32 bit home premium
