FSB too high??

[AUDSCOTT]

I know this is the Vid Card forum, but this pertains to my supreme GeForce GTS 32 MB 3D Profit (try saying that fast, 5 times).

My KA7 is clocked at 113 FSB, to take advantage of the outrageous PC150 Kingmax Ram I got yesterday..it is schweet!!

Anyway, I get these lines on dark pages - they don't appear anywhere else & I don't find stability issues.

My GeForce is not overclocked...

It's the same whether I o/c the PCI or just bus (sounds confusing, I know - but Abit offers PCI bus overclocking in combo with straight bus o/c'ing).

Any ideas, 'cept to clock it back down...that's just not an alternative.

as far as i know a gf will take into the 90s AGP speed... maybe more.

Yeh it would be quite rare for a geforce2 GTS NOT to handle a fsb of 113.

I'm running my p3 700/100mhz fsb@ 933/133 on a BX board which puts my GeForce2 GTS AGP @ 87.78mhz(89mhz actual). I ran it for awhile @ 980/140fsb AGP 94mhz and it eventually crashed. I think I need to up the voltage abit more on the CPU. I don't think it's the card.

After I get my new PC150 RAM this week i'm hoping to get higher.

I ran into this in the archives a few days ago and found it a little interesting. It addresses the idea of making some cards work at up to two-thirds of a 133 Meg FSB speed by disabling SBA. Apparently some of the GTS cards don't disable by default.

Thanks smith462, that was a good article.

Lucky for me SBA was ditched on my Creative GeForce2. One less thing to hold me back.
