O Really?
Then what do you have to say about HD2900XT then?

That's not a bad suggestion.
You choose to buy silent HSF, thus, you'd have to stand with the so called "silence but freaking hot".
There's no way to deal with them except two.

Find a fan to blow into it. [Yes, dust will go directly to them]
Change the stupid silent HSF. [Dust will still go to them]

There's no other way for it.

You don't want dust?
Don't change anything then.
Just use the silent HSF without any help from any fans.

TT Schooner - It's crappy, it's unefficient.

Zalman VF1000 - It's not here yet. Expect at least 1 or 2 months from now.

Owh don't be so sure boy.
Bigger surface of heatsink doesn't mean you'll get a better cooling.

What makes you think it's the ultimate cooling? LOL.

NO.

Nice score you have there.
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.

It's neither 90Nm nor 65Nm.
All 8800 series uses 80Nm technology.

It shouldn't be more than RM150.
If it does, people might as well spend a lil bit more for the real performer which is the Thermalright HR-03 Plus.

I never said anything about fitting those heatsink on 8800GT.
I'm only discussing about the duoorb.

Guys, can SLi run on the combination of 8800GTS 320MB & 8800GTS 640MB?
I need experts advice.

To those that just want to spam around and giving your opinions and ideas without any experience or real knowledge, please stay away.

I don't want any answers that has "I guess... bla bla bla" I don't want any guesses, i want real opinion.
Thank you.

It seems that nVidia has stopped the support for G80 cards.
There's no more driver update for 8800GTS 320MB, 8800GTS 640MB, 8800GTX, 8800Ultra, 8800GT, 8800GTS 512MB, 8600GTS, 8600GT, 8500GT & 8400GS.

Impossible?
I LOL'ed.

Go to nVidia driver download website and see if you can find driver update for those graphic cards i've listed above.
The last nVidia driver updates for those graphic cards i've listed above is Forceware 169.25 which were released December 20, 2007.

And look at the date now, it's 5th March 2008.

The latest Forceware release is only made for GeForce 9800GX2, 9800GTX, 9600GT, 8300, 8200, 8100.
Try downloading them and install them on your system that uses either one of this card below and see if you can pass the installation.
8800GTS 320MB, 8800GTS 640MB, 8800GTX, 8800Ultra, 8800GT, 8800GTS 512MB, 8600GTS, 8600GT, 8500GT & 8400GS.

They are using the 174.74 BETA driver, not the WHQL driver.
There's two version of Forceware 174.74. It's Forceware 174.74 WHQL [Official release] & Forceware 174.74 BETA [Tester, still under experiment].

I know why they removed the support of 8800GTS 320MB, 8800GTS 640MB, 8800GTX, 8800Ultra, 8800GT, 8800GTS 512MB, 8600GTS, 8600GT, 8500GT & 8400GS in Forceware 174.74 WHQL. Obviously they do that because they want to push the market for 9XXX series.

I don't know, you're the one that has a PC, i don't have a PC anymore, only using laptop right now.

Nahh, later.
I'm going to concentrate with the opening of my shop first.
Once it goes stable, then i'll go with it.

Owh wait, no.
I will only be back with PC when graphic card manufacturers have engineered real dual core GPU on a graphic card.
Not like right now which they just put two GPU on one graphic card.

7950GX2 is not real dual core.
7950GX2 is 2 units of 7950 connected together.

What i meant by real dual core is like the Intel Core2Duo processor or AMD Athlon X2 which is two cores in one processor.

7950GX2 is two card connected together and it use only one PCI-E X16 slot.
9800GX2 & HD3870X2 is two processor in one card.

I see.
My mistake then.

Haven't really looked into the 9800GX2, so i don't really know.
So the 9800GX2 is the same as it's predecessor lar?

I LOL'ed.
Try installing 174.74 WHQL driver on a system that uses 8800 series, let's see either you can actually install it or not.

You can only use the 174.74 BETA driver on 8800 series. Not the 174.74 WHQL.
