Can you do better for 95 bucks..?

Edit: New dets dropped me to 97**...went back to the ones I got 9991 with, and I only got 9940...any ideas on how to break 10k w/o overclocking the card?

I broke 10k with no OC w/the 30.82's. Don't have the PNY, but do have a 4200 - see my sig.

Which set are you using? IMO 40.72 gives the highest scores. You can also drop you mipmap level to best performance which can result in a couple hundred extra points. Of course OCing the card which is quite safe could net you almost a thousand points if you can crank it high enough

Have you tried the 40.72`s and the 40.52`s are good for benchmarking too.

I might o/c eventually...just have to get used to it :p

Would I see decent video performance increase if I cranked my FSB up some more? The highest temp I see is 43c (40c in a cool room..43 in a hot room) under full load. I do need a better power supply..but think I could hit 2.4Ghz?

Edit: Using the 4.0.7.2 drivers.

Broke 10k! Dropped mipmap to best performance..haven't o/c'd yet.

You are sooooo close to 10k it must drive you nuts! You know what might do it for you,,set your ram timming from its stock

2.5-3-3-6 to 2-2-2-5

or just try setting the cas2.5 to 2 that may be enought.:)

I hit 10k :D

My RAM is actually underclocked (PC2700 running at 133mhz)..think I could kick the timings to a more aggressive setting w/o any problem? Or..should I push my FSB? ;) :D
