and everybody seems to be upgrading to 7900GS

my friend's 7300gt 256mb pcie temp hits 56C rather that my 7300gt 128mb agp at 50C. how come? his even got zalman, mine only galaxy fan..how come?
even his 3D Mark scores are lower than mine..

nope s i will wait 4 official copy

Mayb AGP and PCI-E make different...

I dun mind bout it actually, as long as the drive stable for the card then can do it.

Hehe cos now its the most affordable 256bit card, I love my 7900GS also (now eyeing 8800GTS 320MB)


Crowded casing, insufficient airflow usually contributes. You can really see the diff when you cable manage and ensure good airflow in the casing.

im using gigabyte 7300GT pci-e 256mb 128bit...
temperature is 65C... is it ok?any idea?

what the hell...why suddently drop price like this...if I know, I will wait for a month before buy...

you're on gDDR2 eh? silent aka passive cooling right? well, it's recomended for you get a case fan that direct blow to your VGA..

yap...but if i leave it like this is it ok?
coz it doesn't create any prob for me

even it didn't bring any problems to u, but always on a high temperature, it will decrease the GC life span....

true.. true.. msi 7300gt 256mbDDR2 user here.. i install a small heatsink fan (buy from 2nd shop in lwyt - rm3).. b4 this temp around 64-67 now around 43-49.. oc just a little bit.. core 450, mem 420..

this gc heatsink didnt touch the memoryram.. poor cooling for memory.. oc over 425, artifact appear aleady..

got that cheap meh? can specify the source?

even colorful 7600GS DDR3 also need >rm350

Just went to LYP on Tuesday, Palit 7600GT selling at RM410.... I bought at RM430 2 weeks before...
After CNY, dunno will <RM400 or not...

After 8600 mid-range card release.. the price for 7 series card sure drop almost 10-30%.

hi guyz..referring to my siggy..i only managed to get these;
3D Mark 03 - 20441
3D Mark 05 - 9510

are those results shown normal or low?

I think it is normal.
Mine Palit 79GS cannot score as high as urs




-pWs-

Hi all, I received back my 7600GS from the seller, after install back to my rig...still got problem to watch real media files, so I shut down my rig and re-install back again...after test, still got problem... out of despair, I open the side panel and push push the gc to ensure it get in to the slot perfectly...then I continue to watch real media files...walla...now no problem anymore while watching real media files...I am so happy and exited...

After finish watch real media video, I decide to run the Mother Nature test in 3D Mark 03 to see whether it still got problem...after test, this time got no problem anymore, it can run the test perfectly...

This morning, before come to work, I run the 3D Mark 03...and I get a score of 9800++... dunno this score is good or not but at least this time all running smoother than before...

So, actually my 7600GS got no problem, it is the contact between gc and the PCI-e slot...what the heck...causing me so many trouble...

great to hear u that ur GC is ok!
btw, mayb u can try to scan for artifacts for ur GC, around 20-30mins (should b enuff i think), to make sure u card is free of errors!

eh.. u dint plug in the PCi-e nicely ?? Careful bro, thts danger and can kill ur card...

Yeah, I will do it tonite...hopefully is no error...

I did plug it correctly, just it have little bit lifted, maybe only 0.01mm I not sure... before I change to CM C532, when I plug in my PCI-e, the screw hole area is far away from my gc bracket, I need to push the casing a bit to make the hole near to the gc so that I can screw it... so maybe from that, it will lift a bit...then now after I change to CM C532, it seem still have some gap between screw hole of gc and casing...but luckily C532 is toolless in PCI bracket there, so I can push the gc after plug in to make sure it is fully pluged in...
