G400 MAX in Guyversville!

[SteveC]

It only takes in the two game demo's average fps and the cpu mark to get the final result. Pretty poor I say.

Thanks all, that makes me feel good...

No problems whatsoever with the AGP so far.

I've hit 320 so far with MGATweak, a few artifacts, so now I'm lowering it, but adjusting other settings...

Will let you all know after a couple of nights of testing....

Again, thanks!!

Well ere's a few more...

These are after forcing AGP to 1X mode, and playing with the monitor frequencies - using VSYNC enabled on all tests...

Test 1 - 85Hz default
Test 2 - 136Hz Max for my rig..

As you can see, I may have gotten a few extra FPS, but I lost some overall scoring...

I think this may show that the MAX is indeed MAXed out - or very close to it.

These tests were also conducted using MGATweak with compensation disabled and 340 clock setting...
