Oh my, version 4 already?

7series just this good is it..LOL..

Anyway guys, just wondering, IF i were to setup a 7300GT SLI on an AMD939 3000 rig, would the CPU bottleneck the GC?

Hohoho...

I wanted to see it Vmodded ...LOL...

Qimonda is better?

Ahaha..My Samsung chipset 7300GT never over 1600Mhz. Never did any major OC on it though..LOL..

If cannot over, means Vmodding coming soon lor..Whahaa

Bro,

I wonder, have you tried direct comparison between the HR-03 and your Zalman?Which is better?

Anyway, nice TR setup there. Now, its time for some mosfet and ram cooler by TR..FTW!!!

Thanks for the tips there. I might try setting up 7300GT SLi (going to get another card) just to see how much performance gain. Besides, eager to try out SLi as well even though its not high end one..

I will go with 7300GT for now IF its available at a dirt cheap price. If its around RM350 - RM400, i rather go with the 8600GT rather than the 7600GT though..

Need to clarify something here first.

Your PSU is 430W or 450W?Cause AFAIK, CM only have CM 450W REAL POWER and CM 430W EXTREME POWER where the 430W version IS NOT real power. So beware..

Even if its Real Power, my best guess is that you will be on the edge with that setup. Getting something better would be recommended..

Well, you really need to check the specification on Nvidia or whatsoever on their MINIMUM 400W requirements. They might be insisting it on a different setup (maybe a low end one). Check properly or you might risk burning any of your hardware.

Real Power is name by CM PSU which indicates that it is in the true power category. Extreme Power is not..

Try directing your questions here. People there would be able to help..

If you would have asked me, the ST56F will be the bare minimum i would go. But given the budget, i will surely go for the OP650 which is going to last me quite a while..

I think moderno still have it. Maybe you can try asking him and see...

I have personally tried my 128MB 7300GT DDR3 on 22" WS LCD native resolution and gaming is still fine. Of course, there are some parts that will be lagging at the end but overall, it still offers good gaming experience. I tried COH and Fifa only which might not be the most GC consuming game around..

Besides that, i also personally experienced the 256MB 7600GS on the same resolution as well and still be able to play COH at MAX setting with No AA and AF and it is still offering good framerates..

So i guess, if you wnated to run 7300GT on 22" would not be a problem if you are not too demanding and of course, not playing those GC consuming games...
And playing it at a lower resolution would definitely not be any problem here..

Have a look at it this way, by any means if you are playing games on 22" native resolution or lower, there are down to no advantages between both cards. Therefore, getting the 320MB version would be better valued as you saved RM400 here.

However, IF you are gaming on higher resolution than that, you will see significant advantage on the 640MB side. By that time, you would wish that you had spent additional RM400 for the better card as the 320MB would not be able to cope as well as the 640MB...

Therefore, it really depends on how much you would spend and what resolution you are gaming on...

500Watt PSU (true power) and above should be find to cope with the load of the card..If you wanted modular, i would go with the DA series from Silverstone. They seems like very reliable PSUs...

That would be on the 640MB version of the GTS according to the news. It will be relaunched with additional shaders...

Anyway, i guess we better leave 8 series discussion at the existing thread..

There is plenty of software out there actually. Heck, even Nvidia themselves have built in OCing tool at their NVdia control panel. But if you do not know how to OC, i recommend you to head over to the OC section in this forum and try to learn about GC OC from there.

I learn mine from there as well even though i am still not pro..Many tools out there allows OCing like ATItool, Rivatuner etc...

Mine is usually around the range of 48c to 50c.

When load, it can shoot up to 60c but thats on the stock lil Galaxy fan

Yes, nope. At a slight OCed rate at 650/1550..

But at stock clock also not much difference.Around 2 - 3 c lesser..Stock clock at 600/1400.

It would be on the bare minimum i guess. With some nice graphics disabled...

Oh..IC..

Well, FYI, my dad has a Dell Inspiron laptop that comes bundled with Vista Home Premium (or something like that) and its running fine. I think it shud be on those intergrated Intel Graphics or something but on normal application, its running will. No sign of significant lagging here..

But never tried on games of course...

First of all, some details that are important is required before we could help :

- Game resolution you are playing
- Details settings (Max? High? Med?)
- AA, AF settings

Besides, there is also a need for a full system specs. That way, me might know whether its the system's problem or the GC is having any problem..

I dont really agree with what you say here. 7300GT is a GOOD card for its price point. I am using the 7300GT and it is still able to handle alot of games easily, given that its running on 1024 * 768. Please do not assume that its only capable of playing crappy online game. Well, it may not be handle those high end games released lately at high settings but games before i had personally tried FIFA08, C&C:Tiberium Wars, COH and many more without much problem at high settings.

That being said, there is a couple of guys here that had tried SLi for 7300GT before and they say its not really that worthy. I myself do not recommend this setting as well because, if you are able to purchase 2 cards, you might as well purchase one that is of better quality and might perform even better than the SLi 7300GT

OT:

TheXxBestxX, what game is that? Looks interesting

The point of NOT SLi low end cards like 7300GT - Its a waste of money. Cost of spending 2 cards will most likely bring you a good middle end/high end graphic card. That being said, it might not be as good as the single card option.

Thus, the price/performance ratio does not justify. That is why people are not recommending SLi low end cards. Its still better to get something better but yet, cost cheaper.

Still, that is not a reason to justify the 7300GT is a bad card. Always remember, this is the CARD that really beat the crap out of the 6600GT last time and yet, cost way cheaper...

Yikes, my trusty 7300GT died on me already. Dang...

Showing artifacts during boot into Windows and doesn't recognise drivers anymore. Guess its going back to Galaxy for RMA..LOL..
