Would be interested to see a few things: 1) Real world gaming benchmarks 2) Performance of 8800GT vs 8800GTS at the same clock speed. Remember that the GT is running at a higher clock speed which the GTS can easily reach most of the time (Of course the GT would be better due to more SP, but how much more higher?) 3) Overclocking capabilities of GT vs GTS 4) Heat/temperature due to single slot cooling

QUOTE(kianwee @ Oct 23 2007, 06:18 PM) Check the link. You can see the real world gaming benchmarks. Did check the source. For some reason, nothing much came out..... went to home page and click the review but same results.....must be my firefox settings or something....

What's bang balls? Anyway, for me, I'm not looking back. I'm still happy with my 2nd-hand 8800 GTS 640mb and will keep it as long as I can, hopefully for another 1-2 years. Luckily I'm only gaming at 1280x1024....

QUOTE(accs_centre @ Oct 25 2007, 01:15 AM) I got it at RM920.. Of course for the next few weeks price should be slightly cheaper..
Ouch. At that price, guess what will happen to the prices of high-end cards and 2nd-hand 8800GTS/ATI2900 GCs..... Good for those who hasn't got one, bad for owners like me....

My main concern is not the fact that the 8800GT can beat the 8800GTS. The main concern is that 2nd hand prices will drop drastically! Well, I guess this is no surprise as it happens all the time...... Anyway, really like to see the 8800GT's overclocking capabilities and it's temperature......

Can new owners provide the temperature readings at idle and load e.g on artifact scanning in atitool? Wanna see how this card performs in our M'sian enviroment.....

QUOTE(PootieTang_85 @ Oct 26 2007, 04:34 PM) fan is on auto.
90'c is quite hot. Not surprising for a single slot cooler. Do you know whether the fan is running at full speed? Use rivatuner to check, it could be that your fan is not running at its maximum speed. If you stop the artifact scanning and let the 3D box rotate, you'll find that the temperature will jump up another 2-3'c as the rotation box is more 3D intensive...... I guess if the fan is at max, with that kind of temperature, you can forget doing much overclocking...... although the GC can take much higher temperature before throttling......

QUOTE(PootieTang_85 @ Oct 26 2007, 07:10 PM) actually, the fan can be adjusted to 100% using nvidia ntune. but, at that fan speed, it's quite noisy, temp load 78C I see. In that case, the temperature is considered acceptable especially as it is a single-slot solution.  Your rig is a closed case system? On my 8800 GTS, I set the fan to spin at max 80% as I can't bear the sound at 100%. This post has been edited by kmarc: Oct 26 2007, 07:21 PM

QUOTE(PootieTang_85 @ Oct 26 2007, 07:27 PM) yes, it's true. my rig is closed system, worry that dust will stuck inside.  Then this card is really nice for its price. Planning to overclock? If so, pls show some results. Don't forget to use AtiTool artifact scanning to check for stability.... Disclaimer : Overclocking can damage your hardware...

Have you guys seen this? Here's a nice comparison table on the 8800GT vs the GTS and GTX. Source : http://www.geforce9.com/article01.htmA few nice features of this card: - Cooler due to 65nm process and Vcore of 1.05v - Power consumption 110w - only need 1x 6-pin PCIE connector - Shaders 112 - MAD performance : 504 GFLOPS - probably the reason why this card is so good!! - PCIE 2.0 (supports 1.1 and 1.0) Less features compared to the GTS: - TMU 16 only - ROP 16 only - Memory bus 256-bit However, the less features on the GTS doesn't seemed to have any effect on the great performance of this card!!!
