Hi I am using CL TNT card and wants to increase memory speed & GPU speed especially with these latest games like Delta Force 2 etc. Which driver out there that could do these ? ( other than powerstrip ) CL has some adjustment for memory but as I know it is not based on Detonator 3.08 ( latest Nvidia ). -- -- Thanks and regards Leong SINGAPORE

Why not use the driver of your choice and couple it with a small & handy tool like TNTclk. You can find it at least from Reactor Critical (at the end of TNT/TNT2 downloads section): http://www.reactorcritical.com/download.shtml#1000 Nvidia has also included the overclocking option in their reference drivers but you'll have to enable it from the registry. I've only tried it with 3.53 Detonators but I see no reason why it wouldn't be there with the 3.65's. In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\NVIDIA Corporation\Global\NVTweak create a DWORD "CoolBits". Set the Value to 3. For more options, go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\NVIDIA Corporation\RIVA TNT\NVTweak create a DWORD "PowerUser". Set the Value to 1. This should enable VBlank and render ahead settings behind the D3D Advanced settings. Needless to say, I take no responsibility for any consequences, I found these tips from Usenet sometime last fall and they worked for me. If you're not comfortable with modifying the registry, I suggest you try something else, like the TNTclk - you really can't go wrong with that. BTW, even with radical overclocking, you won't see much an improvement in Delta Force 2. DF2 is inherently slow because of the infamous Voxel technology Novalogic keeps insisting on. It doesn't take full advantage of any 3D hardware and thus overclocking your 3D card won't really make a difference, but then, there are other games... You should have a heatsink + a fan attached to that GPU. --- Antti Markus Peteri 15 miles. your dim light shines from so far away - Soul Asylum, Promises Broken

hi thanks for the help with the registry Did not know about such an approach But after using the CL drivers and overclocking to 120mhz for the memory I did notice considerable increase in DF2. The pausing did not occur except at the beginning of each mission I would say it is much more playable now !! Yes i do have a fan over the GPU It is a MUST. Runs too hot without it -- Thanks and regards Leong SINGAPORE > > I am using CL TNT card and wants to increase > > memory speed & GPU speed > > especially with these latest games like Delta Force 2 etc. > > Which driver out there that could do these ? > > ( other than powerstrip ) > Why not use the driver of your choice and couple it with a small & handy > tool like TNTclk.
