x800 ati smokes 7900 sli?

mtb211 · 12-12-2007, 10:52 PM

Why do I feel that when I overclocked my x800 Core it just completly smokes my sli NVIDIA GeForce 7900 GT 256MB DDR3 XXX Edition... These cards are supposed to be overclocked I believe "Superclocked" Could I overclock these two cards and really see a differce? Through Some nvidia overclocking utility?

Unless someone can indulge me Im going to go crossfire nextime instead of SLI , unless an sli 2.0 comes out

The 7900GT is much better, especially if you have two of them. What are the other specs on the computers?

Someone told me that ati runs half life 2 "better" then nvidia... because the game was made for ATI

Could you rec a simple nvidia overclocking tool?
Or is it better to jump into my bios?

Some games run better with nVidia cards and vice versa. As for overclocking, I would recommend either RivaTuner or ATI Tool (yes even for nVidia cards). As for the BIOS, you can't overclock the video card from within it.

If you use ATI tool for Nvidia, then be sure to use ATI Tool 0.25 (beta), if you get the latest, you'll get errors.
