I'm testing now a GeForce FX5200, but i found out that the memory clockspeed is slower than normal (280mhz), so i installed RIVATuner and according this program the card is a NV32 and not a NV34 !?!?! I also tried another GeForce FX5200 but than a faster version of that brand and the clockspeeds on that card are oke (260 core and 440 Memory) but also with this card RIVATuner tells me it's a NV32. Is it a NV32 or is RIVATuner giving the wrong info ? Extra info: both videocards have 128mb DDR with 128bits (i know there are 64mb versions with 64bits on the market).

This is the info that RIVATuner gave:

I think Rivatuner bases itself on the .ini file's number. And it seems nVidia doesn't use the same numbers there as they do for development... Or at least, not anymore.
In the .ini file, the NV30 is NV30, NV31 is NV31, NV34 is NV32 and NV35 is NV33...

NVIDIA's moved away from the PCI Device ID = NV number

NV34 class GPUs have a device ID of 0x32_h.

Thanks for the info, guys.

It looks like the first card that i tested is a GeForce FX 5200 128mb version with 64bits memory, but the info from RIVATuner is saying a 128bits version (see above). How can that be ? Looking at the 3DMark2001 results from this card it could be right (that it is a 64bit), but how can you be sure if RIVATuner is saying it's a 128bit !?!?

Update: i just tried the new RIVATuner and know it says NV34 :) But memory bus is still saying 128-bit. Is it then a 128 bit or ... ?
