Dude, are you just trying to cause a conflict or something??This is going in circles.

No s**t overclocking isn't anything drastic unless you've done it in large amounts. However, what if that 2%, as you so called it, was all it needed to run differently?

Secondly, I didn't say anything about sending anything back to manufacturers, Of course they know what their product looks like burnt out from overclocking and they (whomever manufactured the hardware) knows how to achieve those results.

Letting your card get too hot and overheat will overload it and 'fry' it. However, I never said my card was fried, or were you talking about something else there?

I didn't realize I wrote voltage, I meant to write frequency, that part was my mistake. But other then that, stop looking for a minute detail in my writing that you can try to form into a hypothesis about my understanding of things. You're being critical of things that are moot points, such as my wording. It's not like this is a scientific journal. And I'm not exactly wrong either, you just don't like how I'm wording things, they probably sound misleading, I just personally can't tell the difference anymore. [addsig]

OK

I just don't think you were justified in attacking Orph, just because he doesn't want to overclock because he doesnt want to risk damaging anything.

You don't need PowerStrip to overclock an nVidia card. Just add a couple little registry entries as shown here:

As far as I know, I havent seen or heard of any replay function in GTA3. And I just finished the game.. well, the missions anyways.

There is a button you can press to play a replay of the last 30 seks or so of the game.

somehow Powerstrip feels safer
I have an MSI videocard, and it the MSI drivers have the overclock-function built-in.

If I set the overclocking thingy to auto-adjust, it sets my core speed about 33 mhz higher ... fine by me

Bah. I just turned those sliders up about 50 mhz each, and it worked out fine. No overheating, and an extra 1 FPS in games! Woo!

I use the finest in heatsink technology to keep my video card RAM cool: (and yes, I really do have this on my card)

Jeff I wasn't attacking Orph, I was honestly asking and questioning his reasoning, there's a big difference. If I was attacking him I would have been arrogant and condencending.

I appologize if what I said looks like an attack. [addsig]

You gotta be kidding? That f**king works? Now I know why I'd been saving my 2000+ pennies

I don't know if it's so much that it "works" as "it doesn't break". So I figured I'd try it out. [addsig]
