QUOTE(yahn @ Sep 3 2007, 08:46 AM) bro..u using 8800gts 320mb in SLi rite...just wan to know how many percent performance increase if 320mb in SLi.. eerrrr...  3dmark05 single : 16.9k SLI: 19.5k CoH benchmark all settings high AA disabled single: average FPS almost 80 (forgot exact figure) SLI average FPS 113 (or around there) QUOTE(arc_archive @ Sep 3 2007, 12:38 PM) if not mistaken...maybe around 10%~12% only... yeah i was wondering about the ram thing as well... but in the end....im not moving from my 22" (eventhough ianho has been poisoning me with 30") so the ram thing shouldnt be an issue for me...b4 this,ive read from western forum saying that,if u SLI'ing ur gc...the memory size wont be add up as such 320+320=640mb to use when using high res game, thus reducing memory utilization as for high resolution game.dunno if this true o not.. but if it does true...better go to gtx or ultra as the memory utilization will be as much as default for those using uber high resolution. |

The 8500gt is underpowered compared to the 8600gt.
Memory is great for loading large textures but at the end of the day you're not going to have enough horsepower to push those large textures around. Correct me if I'm wrong. |

its a waste to get a 512mb on a 8500
even the 8800gts comes with 320mb... the most important is the gpu power then only the ram capacity your friend made a bad choice to save RM30 |

i believe 2600pro will do better compare wif 8500GT and the price might not be to much differ from 8500GT.. but donno either the driver would do good o not. |

but the OC potential of 2600 pro shud not be taken lightly...
as for 8500GT vs 2600pro..for sure 2600pro can beat 8500GT wif almost near price tag..plus a high oc ablilty for added bonus!! |

I discovered something. When i oc the core from 650 to 720, rivatuner shows the core as 729. From 720 till 740, it will show as 729. Rivatuner error or ... ?

Rivatuner error or ... ? well, it kinda happened to me too, apparently rivatuner will chose to set the clock at a predetermined number i guess..so if you wanna increase more than 729, try setting like 750, or 770, then rivatuner will show something else which is higher than 729.. probably not stable already  |
