Well, I'm very sure that if the rumour proves to be true, Thermalright will be hard at work designing a low profile 2 slot solution cooler. Then shud be able to use all 3 cards with Thermalrights again.




Anyway, after installing Rivatuner 2.05 today, with the 3 sliders, my hands got really itchy to push my system a lil bit more. Still sum left in the rig but I'm happy enuf with the current score now. 18044 marks in 3DM06.

Yeah, I saw your post in the 3Dmark database. Nice.

Was actually gonna ask you why you didn't OC the shaders too.... could have gone higher than that...

Anyway, I just finished testing my 8800 GTS 640mb at 648/1620/972mhz. 11452 marks in 3Dmark06.....

down clocked the shader clock???
ish ish ish



nice

ian had one the first batches of the gtx... so a bit difficult to stabalize.. my bet..either that or he didnt know that at 648 his shader default is 1512

@cstkl1,

your maids rig sure will kill us all, and also take u with us all the way
to tong sampah

LOLZ! I dunno what? OC? LOLZ!

no i meant that u downed ure shader ratio...

its suppose to be 1512... from the looks of it..

also could be ure trying to copy evga 8800gts acs3 ko

OC just takes one program.. and a hit a button...
if it crash ok..
if it didnt not ok...


whats the magic??

MAX OC 24/7 different story.. need to flash bios..

this my benchies






any comment friend?

That's ok. Your CPU is the bottle-neck. Compare with mine on 3Dmarks06 at stock GPU settings but CPU OC to 3.5Ghz:

Sm2.0 : 3970
HDR/sm3.0 : 3782
CPU : 3020

Total : 9295

eh i think both also bottleneck

compared to mine at 3ghz

sm2.0 : 5502
sm3.0 : 5384
cpu : 2661

3dmark06 score = 11763

Waaaiiitt a second. That can't be the scores for a stock 8800 GTS! My results was for stock settings......

And how come your CPU score lower? What CPU is that?

x6800@333x9
XFX 8800gts 320mb +HR03+FM123 (avatar) single overclocked....48 hours no artifacts ati tools ( driver overclocking.. will be flashing it later and trying my best to hit 12k...)
ddr2 pC2-6400 cl4@667 CL5

11500 score for
X6800@9x333
XFX 8800gts Stock cooler Single Overclocked... 24/7 no artifacts no artifacts ati tools. (bios flahed and some mem timings adjustments)
ddr pc2-6400 @ 667 CL5

dud ure cpu at 3ghz... the gpu pulak bottleneck.. so no point overclocking your cpu so high...

programs running on the background.. utorrent downloading, antivirus.. etc

so the true potential of this cards is amazing

oced 8800gts?? mine result only show 8100+ for it.

I see. Even with max OC on my GC (stock cooling), couldn't reach those scores for SM2.0 and HDR/sm3.0.

Did you compare to see how much more headroom you can OC (core/mem) if you use the HR03 compared to stock heatsinks? Tempted to get the HR03. However, if the OC is only slightly more, then not really worth it (for me)....

No la, my rig is OC at 3.5Ghz for folding.... To me, 3.5Ghz is the sweetspot in terms of core temperature, vcore and CPU fan noise.....

okay...

its like this the headroom part...

u need to check the shader/core/ram.. for artifacts...
y?? cause u will know when u hit a heat wall , and ure vgpu wall ( ususally total crash of window.. hang etc...) , vram ( usually windows will get like lines.. becarefull if not bye bye graphic card)

then only u can test the overclocking

for the stocking cooling.. it was like at the border of the heat wall.. i adjusted the bios mem timings a bit to a looser one ( not advisable unless u know what ure doing)
and then it was ok...

but for A2 so far.. i think the best u can get is around 621/1566/999 for 24/7 no artifact running and if u cannot hit this i would say u hit a heat wall ...

with the HR03.. u should be able to run at 648/1620/1053.. no probs.. but again all this depends on ure casing cooling etc... cable management.. ure mobo temps.. ure cpu temps..
casing temps...

like mine now after running it for 48 hours..with sometimes no fan running in the room... the max i saw was 61C. and at night around 56C. during load

so far it looks like i hit the limit for the vgpu// anything more i need to volt mod.

Wow! I don't dare adjust the bios mem settings or flash the bios of my GC..... too chicken I guess....

Nice temp you have there....

Anyway, on my 8800 GTS rev. A2, I managed to test it without artifacts (ATITOOL) for 2 hours at 648/1620/972mhz using stock cooling (fan running at 80%). I'm not planning to run it at that OC speed or 24/7 as the stock speed is still adequate for me for the moment (I'm gaming on my 19' LCD at 1280 x 1024 only ). Once my GC's fps becomes unacceptable, I will have to do max OCing. When that time comes, I'm going to stress test it at that settings for longer periods.... now lazy...

Also on my GC, anything higher than core/mem 648/972 mhz will cause instant reboot!

well for the HR03 plus and whats your overclock limit etc
and the difference it makes

y not asked the guy who said this..

"LOLZ! I dunno what? OC? LOLZ!"

he can shed a light on the topic.. since he is the rep for thermalright..
also can state the reason for underclocking the shader ratio..

kekekek
a 200 product to only to underclock the shader ratio ..
and u can achieve those clocks with stock cooling...

kekek heck i had to go to the store and buy one...

errr still looking for a second OCeble GTX to show the total potential of one gtx with HR03 and doing sli.....kekeke the score is just INSANE...

LOLZ! Watodo? I noob lar. LOLZ!

the stock cooler for 8800gts good enough already ka..?
