ASPIRE 5920 Tread(Benchmark Results,HW & Software Issues,Q & A,Modifications)

I'm pretty sure the 512MB 8600m GT doesn't have the turbo-cache that our 256MB has.. I wouldn't dout that the 3DMark06 pushes the envelope in every way... and that our 8600m GT is activating the turbo cache up to the 1.00MB.

Just a thought.... As 3Dmark06 is a very intensive benchmark.

No doesn't have to do with vga memory..

It's intensive but needs gpu power more than vram.256mb is enough for running at default settings.

Just to make sure I ran it and monitored max vram utilization with riva tuner..


Return To Proxycon ---> 215mb
Firefly Forest ---> 236mb
Red Valley 1 ---> 55mb
Red Valley 2 ---> 55mb
Canyon Flight ---> 242mb
Deep Freeze ---> 247mb

don't want to hijack your thread, but since it's popular with owners of 5920G I figure I might get an answer here. Can you guys launch Media Center and tell me if you see TV options there (you don't need tuner for that)

That's cool.. video ram can be monitored with riva tunner.

Just launch the hardware monitorind,then select setup.

There you can find and enabale plug ins for temps,vram,system ram,pagefile,cpu utilization,gpu core,shaders,ram clocks etc...

Then you can select them and through the setup button show them in OSD..

Is this within the 5920... or within Riva Tuner?

Riva tuner.

But from what I saw it doesn't take any values for Vram usage...Maybe it's not supported with this vga,or maybe the drivers I'm using don't support it..

(the utilization above was monitored at my desktop pc)

Hmm I don't think you can...

There is no option in BIOS...

It does have turbo-cache. Probably a driver bug or similar as 512MB version should be faster. Will see as there is (or should already be) 5920G available with 512MB DDR2 (in germany at present)
