its is limited
as far as i know leadtek taiwan dont have anymore..kekeke
xfx retailers are limiting one car per customer
so is evga and bfg.

erk... floppy is a guy ...

er... 8800GTX and 8800 Ultra, the differences? core/shader clock? memory clock, it is same core right, for all i know, it's like 8600GT and 8600GTS, same class, tweaked a bit...

shader clock is the big difference
u cant achieve that shader clock with core clocks of a gtx
second 0.8ns GDDr3 vs 1.1ns GDDr3.
third the GPu itself.. its technically not the same as its a different revision since nvidia claimed that a more enchance manufactoring process of some silicon thingy they can achieve better clocks... which is very true
612 core clock of ultra gives u 1500 shader
626 core clock of gtx gives u 1450 shader
the gap widens
650 core clock of gtx gives u 1500 shader
648 core clock of ultra gives u 1600 shader.
675 core clock of ultra gives u 1678 shader
700 core clock of ultra gives u 1728 shader
so u can forget the gtx ever reaching this without some serious water cooling...which u might as well buy a ultra..kekeke
i dont consider the mem bandwidth as performance difference so just ignore that.
so far ppl have been comparing a OCed gtx to a 8800 ultra..

nobody going to complain with the xfx 8800 ultra xxx edition..kekek
to give u an example of shader clocks ure going to need 700 core to even come close to it..

i am just hoping to run mine at 648 to get 1600 shader clock..20percent gain about comparad to 8800gtx.

hey.. i'm planning to buy a 8600GT.. theres few brands i found that are up to my budget..

MSI 8600GT
GIGABYTE 8600GT
COLORFUL 8600GT
LEADTEK WINFAST 8600GT
PALIT/XPERT V 8600GT

this 5 cards.. are about 450-rm 550..which card is better among these brands?? or is there any better cards that fit my budget??

i will choose MSI 8600GT.....

cstkl1, have you found a way to check the shader clock?

Read that it increases with core clock speed.. Any way to verify it and calculate how much exactly it increases?

yes sniper posted it
two ways so far
one is using riva tuner
second on my vista run the everest sidebar gadget...

my 8800gts now running at 575/1700 ... shader at 1350...kekek compared to stock at 1200... around 5-10 percent boost.

ok, i use RivaTuner Final Release 2.01 (downloadable at Guru3D.Com), here's a little test i ran to find about the shader clock vs core clock thing, everytime i increase the core clock, the shader will increase too by 3%~5%, here's the simple way

stock clock 702MHz on GPU, 1458MHz on Shader
735MHz @ 1512MHz
770MHz @ 1620MHz
800MHz @ 1674MHz



- copy/paste from previous thread

dude just try it
run riva tuner
load the statistics window
then overclock ure core
and see how much it increase.

i cant vouch for all 8800gts to be the same.

storm88 selling his new colorful 8600gts at RM680. try get it..

okie, running my 8800gts stable at 675mhz core and 1050mhz memory. Riva tuner monitor shows an increase from 1200mhz shader to 1400mhz.

can't do bench now cos using crappy proc.

Btw, what i mean by stable is no warning sound from atitool "scan for artifact".

wander if those Ultra A03 core ever make it into mainstream GTS and GTX ..... if it does it good news for a lot of ppl........

new colorful 8600GTS now selling at rm699 if not mistaken.. it from PC Zone.

duh, it's just RM19... besides, it's considered new, even me myself will let go at close to new price

http://r800.blogspot.com/2007/05/3dmark06-...-vs-2900xt.html

oced x2900xt beat 8800ultra stocked

hehe...for real?
....unknown VGA....


Chow.

My 8800 GTS 320MB SLI
3dMark06 - 13325

Intel C2D E6420 @ 3.12GHz

always wonder which fella in malaysia will do this.. pump it higher bro.

but actually in real world performance the the difference is not too much the xt vs gts

wow... you guys really crazy arr... OC up up until like that... scary larr for me who never dare oc my PC...


Maybe I'll try some oc when my new rig finish.. hopefully it won't blow away on the first try

hey... 8500GT 512 mb or 8600GT 256 mb is more better??
