Tell him to disable onboard vga.

Yea, same guess with me.Try disabling the onboard Graphics first and see whether it works..

, it's working now... i even asked him to do that, and seems ok for now... anyway... thanks...

I was speaking in context of the average gaming card, perhaps not so good comparison, just that I love the game and the eye candy but hate the framerates on my rig now...


If the mobo cannot boot/display perhaps its due to the gc not properly inserted. Sometimes if the casing is crappy you try to align your card to the casing, and not
slot the entire card perfectly into the pcie slot.

Man I type too damn slow la, oredi solved...

i've picked the galaxy 8800gts 320mb oc edition coz it's oredi oced to 550/900 at default... if the price different isn't much then i guess the oced version is a better buy... but if price different is too much different then save ur bucks n buy the normal 8800gts...


errr, bro maybe ur specs too high??? hahahahaha... anyway, try the demo link n show off ur result here pls...

im using Enermax 550 wat PSU. for sure enuff power since the GTX only needs a 450 to run. 2 hardisk .. i donthink i'm even sweating the PSU as it is. there is no slowdown during gaming or running futuremark. its really weird coz i lost a good 1000 mark everytime i OC this sucker

demo??

hmm will be taking back the rig from ian soon and will be overclocking it and settling all the new hardware to find any kinks on it.

so i guess he will be starting on my rig on sunday.

My aim with the new hardware is a 24/7 rig that runs on this
x6800 @ 3.73ghz
asus 8800gtx ultra @ 650/2260
rams at 1200 CL4

Guys, anyone of you bought the Galaxy 8600GTS?Do you know what cooler it is using?I saw some review stating that it is using the Zalman VF900 cooler but from their website, it doesnt looks like it. More to me like a Zerotherm GX810..

Anyway, i know Galaxy always make mistake in their website. They even state that the 8600GTS is running on 320bit ..

GeForce 8600GTS GeForce 8600GTS DDR3 320bit

EDITED:

I even saw 8500GE at this website. Is this true or a typo?Or the GE is actually the DDR3 version of the GT?

Ouch, things is getting crazier.I even saw a new 8600GE by Galaxy that matches the performance of the 8600GTS.The benchmark they made shows that the 8600GT/GE had beaten the GTS in some way..Is this even real..Man, i should wait and see whats next..

Yes that is a Zalman cooler. Made specially for Galaxy. N yes the 8500GE is true. I'm gonna buy sum to put in my testbench just for sum fun. From the benchmarks I've seen, the 8500GE is just awesome for such a dirt cheap card.

the GE-series are Galaxy's tweaked cards ... there is no GE for nVidia standard

But which cooler is that?Cause the design doesnt seem to be the VF900.After looking it for long, it doesnt seem to be Zerotherm as well cause it only have 1 heatpipe which zerotherm have 2..

Yea, the 8500GE does seem to be something good.lol.Any difference between the GT and GE?.But i was only surprised at the benchmark done by Galaxy which state that the 8600GT/GE beat the 8600GTS..

Does this mean the only difference between the GE and GT is they are pre-OCed?

Try other drivers and see how.

normally galaxy GE version has dual bios and a voltage jumper for the GPU core, u can get a lot of extra kick form those..........

Ok guys, i need some clear up in my mind right now..

Been thinking of these for while and hopefully you guys can help me out here..

I have a confusion in term of the usage of bits on a GC. When comparison is being done between the 6800 and the 7600, people are saying that the 7600 will be better even though the 6800 have more muscle and higher bit (256bit VS 128bit). I understand that it is due to newer technology that compensate the lost in bits, making the 7600 a better card..

Mystery solved there. However, doesnt this implies on the 8series as well?Many people here have said that they are disappointed in having only 128bit on the 8600 series (including myself for no reason) and resolve in buying the 7900GS just for the sake of some proven performance and a higher bit (again, 128bit VS 256bit). Wouldnt a newer technology in the 8series compensate in the lost of bits, and making the 8600 a better card?

Those card with lower memory bit like 7600GT with 128bit, can beat previous 6800, that because 7600GT has high core and memory compare to 6800, thus giving 7600GT more memory bandwidth compared to the bandwidth of 6800. Memory bandwidth is what matters most.

anybody played lostplanet : extreme condition b4? DX10 trial version

i run the buildin benchmark performance test (default game settings) and i got average 43fps

using 8800gts/320 with 2GB, E6600

Ok. I get the point there..So, would this means since the 8600GT/GTS also have higher core/memory speed compared to the 7900GS, wouldnt the 8600GT be a good buy as well (only difference for GT and GTS is the bandwidth)?I mean, the higher bandwidth would compensate for the lost of bit right?

Do you know what I do with my 8800gtx? Play DOTA.... no other application other than programming.

No time to play. Such a waste am I? Just wonder, why all of you that bought high end graphic cards for? Definately I do not know why cstkl1 keep upgrading his GC. Sold off his 8800GTX for Ultra. *Woah*

LOL...


Now I think I'm going to need a new casing... seems like 8800GTS is quite long. Even my old 6800GS already touch the Harddisk drive...

I'm using a RM90 aluminium casing only


Geez... wonder what kind of casing suited my RM200 budget...

Pls proceed your casing topic in casing subforum

and dont forget to show your new toy to us after u bought it
