BFG 6800GT OC common problem - 2005/03/22 08:42
Currently, my 6800gt is OCd at 428/1100 right now. When i play Counter-Strike (open GL), i get 5-10 second random freezes. i tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver, using stock speed at 370/1000 i still get the freezes. Thought it was heat problems, got nvsilenver 5 and it didn't help. I tried disabling fastwrite in bios and in rivatuner but it didn't help either. i turned off sideband addressing in bios but in rivatuner it says its on and its greyed out.
I also tried modding the bios, i used omniextremeeditfx to edit my 3d voltage from 1.3 to 1.4 and 2d voltage from 1.1 to 1.4 and it didn't help. i also tried using various bios, evga, evga rev2, pny and all of them were the same. I'm kinda losing hope because ive been trying to fix this for a month now and its $400 and i cant RMA it now cause i've already modified it. never thought i had to go all through these problems with a 400 dollar vidcard 
i read that its got to do with NF3 chipsets. i wonder if flashing it to ultra bios would help stop the freezing. im thinking of selling my card and get x800xt or just get a new motherboard. sorry for the long post and i appreciate ur time  .

. so far, i got the latest bios for my motherboard, haven't tried updates for nforce. and yes, i tried overclock and default clock speeds, they both bring bad news
