8800GT is always hot..You can increase your fan speed to 60%...

Are yours with or without zalman?

but maybe colorful using 6 layer pcb for it's 8800gt..
from my experience i tried eagle's 8800gt with 6 layer pcb and the temp is damn hot..
eventho eagle disabled the temp sensor when i touched the hsf and the pcb it's damn hot..
way hotter than normal reference pcb 8800gt..
so avoid 6 layer pcb 8800gt at all cost

how to know izit 6 layer pcb? palit 88GT is wad type?

usually u can find the marking on the edge of the pcb
but reference 8800gt pcb is already 10 layers if im not wrong

yes... 10 layers...

I found out something weird about my GC...
The first time i tested 3DMark06 it was 9700+
Now.. i tested it again.... to my surprise.. it has dropped to 9100+

How could this happen?

Pls advice....

i tot 8800GT dont have 2d/3d mode 1? they will just running full speed all the time at 3dmode.... am i wrong?

Added on February 3, 2008, 4:12 pmcompare ur SM2/SM3 and CPU score........ and look for significant diff.....

bro try to attach the pic using forum attachment.. not doc type.... most of the people dont download coz wanna prevent from virus atk or wateva.. u can always open "paint" and paste ur screenshot there.. then save as .jpg... then use "addreply" at near bottom right of forum... then browse ur file + attach it.. then submit...

I have forgotten the 1st score details... sigh,.. how could this happen? anything wrong with the score?

All at stock speed... 600Mhz/900Mhz

not sure also... u have to do comparison of the 3 score.. by looking at single scoresheet we cant judge much... try to bench afew times again.
normally people will restart com after each bench.... or at i am.... some even format new partition and with fresh window to bench... to get better score..

Arent everything in the pic?

Added on February 3, 2008, 4:24 pmSo according to my specs....
AMD 64 X2 5000+
8800GT 512 MB @ stock speed
2*1GB Corsair XMS DDR2 800mhz RAM

Is my GC performing up to the std?

i think u accidentally turned on antialiasing or anisotropic filtering..
try to double check and disable it through rivatuner or the nvidia control panel

it all depends on ur bios, u can mod ur bios so ur card runs at different speed..
as an example, my stock gigabyte 8800gt turboforce has 2 settings..
2d mode: 450/1200/1400
3d mode: 700/1700/1900
but when i oc using gigabyte gamer hud, the software forces my card to run @ the same speed for 2d and 3d mode..
if want to manually set my own separate 2d and 3d clockspeed i have to flash my gc's bios which im feeling too lazy to do

I'm using Zotac 8800gt Amp now and i think it is more than enough to handle most of the games in the market right now... i even tune down the core and memory speed for normal 24/7 usage and gaming like COD4... during CNY holiday maybe will try Crysis to fully ultilise my card... my card temp: idle 50~52 load 64~66

Each 3dmark bench got 3 scores... which is SM2 score, SM3 score and CPU score...... and all 3 plus togather will make ur 9.1k score... u can see it in ur pic....
so u said u got 2 benchies which is 9.7k and 9.1k... so i ask u to compare those 2 benchies SM2,SM3 and CPUscore and see which 1 is significantly changes alot.... understand? look at the below pic i attach for reference..

Added on February 3, 2008, 5:09 pmim sure u cant on 100% max setting on crysis ... that include max resolution of ur monitor, max quality setting, with 4xAA...... unless u using 15" monitor with max 1024x768 res ....... by that time u will feel wat is not enuf....

I have same spec last week. I have 11013 3D mark 06 scores after OCed. Push more.

There is a possibility that your CPU score is low and dragging down overall score when there are applications running in background when you run the benchmark.

alright.. i'll try it again....

Added on February 3, 2008, 5:47 pmI've read some reviews from Guru3d. They said that 8800GT's ref fan cycle speed is incorrect. So although it stated 100%, actually it is not...

Is this correct?

This post has been edited by TheTraffic: Feb 3 2008, 05:47 PM

yes the ref fan cycle speed is incorrect, so the best is use rivatuner to tune the fan speed.

That means the RT's ref cycle speed is incorrect, right?

post your specs, see if i can help
