all of them actually...if not how could palit b 20% cheaper than other normal brand price laugh.gif

Dont take cheap as something that shows it is bad. Palit is a very good brand and always known for their OCing potential. They might be cheaper but they are offering the same performance and reliability as well...

Received my 8800GTS today and was so shocked to see how big this card is..So surprised to jump from what i thought to be a very "big" card 7300GT to this 8800GTS..lol..Will put it to test tonight and see how thing goes..But it will be tested on my 17" CRT for now before i get my LCD this weekend..LOL..

LOL..Nolar..My 7300GT had been with me for almost 1 year already. But it went kaputt on me almost 2 months ago. Therefore, i was looking into a replacement and got myself a new card lor..All of a sudden, i receive a call saying my 7300GT is back from RMA doh.gif LOL...

Received some good OC tips from irenic and hopefully, i can go back and test it out..LOL..

*
I already got back my 7300GT but not sure what i am going to do with it. Most probably sticking it back to my 2nd rig for the moment..Already got the 8800GTS from a forummer. Now on the verge of testing it. Just finish reformat my PC and install the driver. Will be testing it on benchmark later..

For now, its idling at a crazy 62c..

Famous? I never really hear anything about it though..LOL..Maybe due to their OCing potential, people who use Galaxy always push them to the max and cause those trouble?LOL...

Just so u dont get deeply dissapointed by those benchmark scores.............  the scores with AMD dual core is really lauya. laugh.gif  BUT dont worry bout it. It's not at all indicative of how good ur rig is for real games.

There r fellas with C2D E6300 n single 8800GTS with higher scores than my rig at 3DM06. When it comes to real gaming though, the E6300 n 8800GTS rigs cant even smell smoke.  brows.gif  So dont bother about benchmarking.
*
LOL..Yea, i got the point there. I saw plenty of people having crazy score on 3D Mark03/06 and when i test it on my own PC, my 8800GTS scored around 23k+ on 3D Mark03 with everything on stock..Seems too low though..LOL..

Anyway, cant seem to view the 3DMark06 online though.Keep on asking me to view online but saying not found..gosh..

btw, temperature for 8800gts idle is around 60C ark ?

Non OC version, go for Palit.Save yourself the extra RM100- RM150 as most of them are as off reference..

My MSI 8800GTS 320MB OC is idling at around 58c - 60c..

Yea, its idling at roughly around 58c for me. Have yet to check the load temperature. Will do so during the weekend and will test it out on my new LCD..

Do you guys normally turn on AA when gaming on the 8800GTS 320MB? I tried that today when i installed C&C3 on my PC.Turned everything to the max, even the AA to Level 8. Still playable but slight lag felted. Thats only on 1024 * 768 resolution for your information..

What does turning on AA affect?I cant seem to see any difference though..LOL...

that's no point in setting more than 4x AA for that resolution

CNC3 in game level 8 AA means 16X AA alrdy, the maximum of G80 can support.

AA stands for anti-aliasing, when it comes to 16X AA, it means the ROP of the GC will sample the frame at 16 times of the current resolution, then it will downsample back, so that it will look smoother.

but even an 8800gts will lag at CNC3, slightly disappointed, so with other settings max out, with the AA set lower to level 2 or 4, can u get 30 FPS under all circumstances?
*
Erm, have not really tested the game with FRAPS yet. Was rushing on my way back to hometown to get my LCD. Will be testing it again tomorrow with the LCD when i am back..

In term of what i have seen in the game, i tested the game for a few rounds, with no AA, Level 4 AA, and Level 8 AA. AA off, and Level 4 seems to be fine. Everything was smooth so my best guess is that its running above 30fps but slight laggish for Level 8 AA when i turn it on. Even during the early part of the game, you can feel the slight laggish (really slight ones) especially when you drag your mouse all over the screen. Game is still playable, graphic is nice but if you look closely, you can see the lag...

Oic..Didnt know that though.Anyway, i will go back and test it again with FRAPS and post the result here. But one thing for sure, i dont see any lagging when on Level 4 AA and no AA at all..

If Level 8 AA is said to be 16X AA, does this mean Level 4 is on 8X already?Then i guess turn it on to Level 2 is more than enough right?

I'm playing C&C with all max setting at 1280 x 1024. Antialiasing also at max.

Getting about 25-30 fps most of the time in the earlier levels (on fraps) with max units.

Can't really try with later campaigns (when there's a lot of structures/unit) as I just deleted my saved games!!! Will try later on as I advance in the NOD campaigns....

Wonder whether your proc is bottlenecking the 8800 GTS.....  hmm.gif or your settings are incorrect?
*
O...Is my proc bottlenecking it?Maybe i could go home and OC it to around 2.5Ghz and see whether the result is still the same. Could not OC it higher cause i dont know how..LOL..

Anyway, i tested everything on stock at that point and get around 23k on 3D Mark03. Most of the review i have seen said the mark should be around 26 - 27k i pressume. So, mine is abit low..

Wow..You guys have really good score. Maybe i need to go back, OC my proc to 2.25Ghz and see how different the result is. Hopefully it will be better.LOL...

My defaults core/mem is 575/1700. But irenic was saying its good cause OC version of MSI have their shader processing thing OCed as well..

1) Gigabyte GF 8600 GTS 256 DDR3 (RM830)
2) Asus GF GF8600 GTS 256MB (RM810)
3) Winfast GF PX 8600 GTS 256 DDR3 (RM799)
4) or any brand that u think is the best 1???? (MSI, Palit, HIS, or other brand that can find in LYP) notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif

If it was up to me, i would say none of the above. I will go for either XFX or Galaxy at any time. Since you say find from LYP, XFX is out of the picture and i will go with Galaxy 8600GTS OC that comes pre-OCed and with Zalman Cooler..

Other than that, its cheaper than all those listed there at only RM780.

Tried testing my 8800GTS on 1680*1050 resolution yesterday with C&C3.Everything at max, Level 4 AA. Gameplay was smooth but its on a 1v1 game.Maybe will try to stress more and see whether there is any lagging later..

Load was at around 65 - 68c. Satisfied with the temperature. When all the setup is done, will try to OC the GC and processor and test out the 3D Mark again..

I seriously dont think there is any problem powering up a GTS with the CM Real Power. Heard before from someone saying that Extreme Power 430W is even enough to power up SLI 320MB 8800GTS...

If i were still on my CM Real Power, i dont even think for another time powering it up. Besides, it isnt really a PSU that is that bad..

@Hyde`fK,

May i know the core/memory speed of your 8800GTS?How well is it handling on 24" while gaming?

To be honest, i was shocked on how the 8800GTS performs during gaming. As compared to my 7300GT last time, it was a totally different experience. I thought my 7300GT which is able to handle the C&C3 at HIGH resolution (no AA) was good enough. Everything was realistic. But when i change to the GTS, turned everything to MAX, the effects was totally different...

My card default speed is 576/1350/1700. Until now, I use default settings in every games I play. Last time when I owned a 7300GT, I will overclock it just to have extra fps. As for gaming, most games I've tried fits my satisfication, like Test Drive Unlimited, C&C3, NFS series, GRAW, except STALKER. All games tried on native resolution 1920x1200 with everything max out. Do take note your LCD is on 1680x1050, processor speed to have effects on the FPS. I have tried playing Granado Espada with default clock speed of 1.86Ghz on my C2D, average FPS is about 25fps. After overclocks to 3.2ghz, 100% boost at around 55fps. That's on 1680x1050.

Your card default speed is 575/1200/1700. Shader clock is lesser, which will also affect the fps as well.
*
Well, i did not try OCing anything as off yet cause i dont mind running it as off now. I am satisfied but yet to try those graphic intense game. Maybe i try to OC it and see how.

How much would shader processsor influence a card?And is my 1200 the default shader processor for 8800GTS?
