7900GS in fs2004

[manisare]

OKay i got my EVGA-Geforce 7900GS KO. How do i set the max speed for the EVGA. I saw the control panel and i did not know what to do. I want the best configs for fs2004. oh i also want a tweaked driver.

When you say "set the max speed", are you wanting to overclock the video card? If so, using an extra program like Coolbits, Rivatuner, or NVTweak is usually the best/easiest way. Start by increasing only the memory speed by 5MHz at a time and fully test the card. Test for overheating temperatures with rthdribl for at least 15 - 30 minutes. Then make sure it is stable and not artifacting by testing with games and 3D benchmarks (like Futuremark's 3DMark series).

If all tests come out clean, then go back and inrease memory by another 5MHz or so and retest heat and stability. As soon as the temperatures get out of control (approaching 80ºC or more) or games and benchmarks start freezing or artifacting, then you have reached the limit of the memory on the card. Subtract 5MHz from the memory speed and retest everything. If it comes out good again, then record that value as your highest stable memory speed. But if it fails any of the tests, back it off another 5MHz until it becomes stable.

Now that you have your highest stable memory speed determined, return the memory speed back to its stock value and repeat the same process with the CPU core speed (testing at every change in speed).

By now you should have your highest stable memory speed and your highest stable core GPU speed. Subtract 20MHz from each and set the speeds in your chosen overclocking interface appropriately. Now run all your tests again and make sure it is stable and not overheating. Increase both GPU and Memory speed by 5MHz and retest again. Repeat the speed increases and testing until you hit your highest stable speeds on both aspects of the video card. Congratulations, you have successfully found the highest stable overclock of your video card!
