arghh... cant seem to pass 30mins of atitool's artifact test with memory speeds above 1015. Max I can go is 740/1015.
1020 fails artifact test but can loop 3dmark06 20 times
*
dude its not the core clock or mem clock that shows the difference
its the shader clock

also improvement on mem speed is noticeable on high reso wtih aa/as turned on..
so .. sorry 3dmark06

oh, didnt noe that. Attaching ramsinks would help right?

nope...
shader clock ratio... heheh if u really want to test the limit of ure warrantty.. flash ure bios..

go to mvtech.. get a someoverclocked version of the 8800 bios and flash it.
risky dude.. as some OC versions also have OC voltage on their gpu and mem
which reminds me MSI 8600 vbios thing is cool with the option of pressing a button near the dvi for overclocked
bios + increase voltage...
till then no point wasting ure time.
OC ure Proc and rams would benefit more.

also attaching ram sink to where dude??

make sure u have a good airflow from the front of ure casing directly to ure GPU.

also dude most ppl here in lowyat talk crap and dont even run everything overclocked 24/7
remember OC comes at a risk
OCing ure gpu also increases heat on the casing... mobo etc... Ocing PCIE also increases ure mobo dieing soon.

long run overclocking ure rams/PC.. better option
clear the bottleneck instead of creating more gpu bottleneck

ramsink attach to memory, since u say at high reso +AA it benefits. Cause I cant seem to get the mem speeds higher than 1025. The wierd thing abt atitool artifact test is even though the words there say no errors, the logfile balloons and is filled with "artifact detected" logs.

well, the oc speeds only kick in when game is loaded. I think I should just stick with my current speeds. Time to get my mind off this and head back to the books!!

kekek .. definately a pat in ure back...
waste of time... until u go high reso gamin.

the older gtx/gts proc bin... is the one thats dropped.
closer to the reference design..

thats Bad news for me,
i even think to buy a 8800GTX or 8800ultra for a good price,
after 9800 release my 8800 become low-end, great.......... doh.gif
my aspire for high-end PC is harder now shocking.gif
*
well like what mr ian said
thats the price for digressing.

u buy for u needs now.

i enjoyed my gtx for half a year and my ultras likewise.
the hd2900xt 512 for a 4 months
gts a year..

they were all damn good GPU's

Imo normally mid-range (8800GTS 320MB) of 3Dcard series doesnt drop price as obvious as higher-range ones.

As i noticed at NVNEWS posts..
user posted image

Cheers smile.gif

err dont think so ultras are dropping

heck the lastes msi oc ultra is around us 559...
even evga cards u can get the ultra superclocked around the same

so guess the normal cards should be around 525??

also the source is from pricegrabber.. which is usually wrong...

heck u should check their so called prices of rams...

Previously Nvidia got announced a new technology where two different model GC can do SLI, what technique is that?
*
gee google more
the announce the same chipset different manufactorers can sli

example evga 8800 gtx ko acs3 can sli with galaxy 8800 gtx

last time u need the exact chipset/exact core/shader/mem speed and same manufactorer

yes possible.... forumer VT-Ten did it with an Asus + an XFX

now he running both XFX though.

ianho is running his GTX SLI with MSI+Forsa.

so mixing brands is fine....as long as the core is the same (i.e GTS+GTS) its ok...diff core/mem speed oso not a problem...can still be done.

BUT....not sure about GTS320mb + GTS640mb though tongue.gif
*
no its a different rev chipset for the 640 and 320 gts
same goes for Ultra and Gtx

i think floppy from Vrzone tried..
he is here sometimes so u can pm him on the 320 and 640..
he was the first that i knew slied 320's and that was when it first came out

eh guys....when u mention HR03 better make sure u differentiate between HR03 and HR03 PLUS

only the plus can be used on the 8800 series. non plus is for previous gen cards. tongue.gif
*
wei i think u better look at hr03...

its like 1/3rd the size of HR03 plus.
so dont worry
ppl know which one it is..

For you all information,

the Forsa 8800GTX 768MB VGA is only at RM1600 in Cycom pricelist today .

no .. u wont notice the difference
however they are companies that a notorious for shortcuts

like FORSA
for ure information

check 3dmark06 vertex shader scores...
no fluke

anyway, u got any idea which GC cam better support a 32'' LCD tv???

heck even a 6600 ultra can do that..
state the purpose since the reso is low
also no point getting a hdmi gcard... even lower

so stick to vga ports.

so any GC can do that????
and one outside question....got any wireless mouse can detect any surface?? like sofa ar... blush.gif

only one... the logitech G7.. but kindda waste of money for doing that kind of stuff.

Any laser mouse would do

i think for me all the GC 8800GTS is the same....

it depends on it standard bios either it already set the clock high or not..

and also depends on the Chip...good chip can make a good OC.. tongue.gif

if me...i would grab a GC with a good warranty and good in OC...

kinda attracted with EVGA.... drool.gif

but i already use Leadtek GC and never have prob...serve me well...

how very wrong...

i think from now on.. somebody should start a thread for 3dmark06 extended test...
the results would be SHOCKING...!!

There's nothing wrong with Forsa. They are all reference boards after all. I've been using a Forsa since the 8800GTX 1st appeared last year until now. It can OC like hell too.
*
ok dude..
i am going to compile a test

3dmark06 extended test
but this is the requirement
cpu must be c2d running at 333x9
ram at 667 CL5 2T
mobo only 975x/P965/P35/650/680 ( reason their 16x performance around the same)
OS: Windows Xp

and posting should have an ati tool articFact scan running for atleast 15 mins.

there should be two post. one stock , one driver/bios flash overclock...

y am i doing this... cause.. to show u all the difference in brands, OC difference in real world, ATI vs Nvidia pros and cons...

Will be setting up in a bit...

So the posting must constitute

2 CPUZ - CPU and MEm
Ati tools
Riva Tuner Hardware Monitoring - Proof of shader/Core/Mem Speed and temps
Ati Tools Running Artifact Scan 15 mins min without any error.
3dmark details on Feature Test.

so up for the challenge guys to stop bickering on different card manufacturers and ppl swearing all brands are same etc and ati card better than nvidia etc

The test will be

Fill Rate Test - Single/Multi
Vertex Shader - Single/Complex
Pixel Shader Test
Particle (SM3)
Perlin Noise (SM3)

Running some 3dmark in a minute...

So what say u??? want to prove me wrong..... also this would help ppl in their buying decisions... and u will see how come some so called OC card doesnt perform and the brand.
Will compile this with all the data i get from neoseeker since they do this for all the cards.

Will start the thread in a bit..

PS anybody knows where i can download a universal score keeper.

cant find it anymore.

Nice score you have there. smile.gif
Just a little more to reach mine.

Dude, try increasing the GPU clock speed to 760MHz & Mem to 1150 [2300MHz] and see what happens next.

If i could reach that speed on my 8600GT test unit, i believe you can reach there too. smile.gif
*
prove it
with artifact scan

also 760mhz is kindda stupid as its either 750 or 775mhz

will try them in time.. just play with it a few hours yesterday..
searching for the right setting of shader clock ratio.. that's the best i can get...
evethough can push mem/core a little bit higher.. kinda hard to blend the weird 27mhz core increament n 54Mhz for the shader clock...

cannot beat u bro.. i'm using cheapo X2.. laugh.gif
*
dont worry bro
thats a good score
to hit 7000 u need like some insane cpu score with gts running at 1000mhz core.

google on vrzone...
