i didnt say no good just not good enough.

its probably because they didn't tune correctly...this GC stock fan speed is 25%....so imagine how hot will it be under load but for those who setup correctly, the average temp range shud be round 54C~73C

I saw it too Gigabyte got lots potential on overclocking..

But, do we need to oc this VGA coz its powerfull at stock speed already

A fellow UM. UM is One.

OC or not depends on the individual and his usage. If you're using bigger screen that means high resolution with high settings than why not OC it, since then you can increase the performance of the card while gaming.

If you're a regular user then can maintain at factory speed and be contented. The default already suits all your gaming needs.

err.... u sure...? 8600GTS already generate a rather higher than average heat already... which is around 50-60(idle)...
i personally think tat maintaining ur GC temp to below 60(full load) is the best...

err... it's suppose to be auto tuned base on sensor to maintain silence...

gigabyte memang got loads of potential if not for their stupid Silent pipe... I would yell and scream at their creators for creating such expensive rubbish if i were Gigabyte's chairman...

It's kinda hard to get below 60C on load. Me, myself still strugglin' to get it go below 60C. Now only 64C on load.

Guys,

Need some oppinion here. Is it worthy to get the 256MB version of the 8800GT for its current price point? And, is it recommended to run games at 19" native resolution and above? Between this and the 256MB HD3850, which is better?

mind stating the brand?curious to know..

its Zotac
jus now hand itchy remove the heatsink and realised

hmm....would like to know, which latest driver is the most stable driver ?

also, does anyone of you use tweak drivers besides nvidia/manufacturer drivers?

I though whole 88GT line using Qimonda ? ... is samsung ok ?

So far, the latest driver for G92 got many problems. Have to wait for latest release for nVidia. Even can't download any driver for the G92 at nVidia website.

After google some of the review, look like zotac and msi 8800GT 256mb are using samsung's 1.0ns chipset

they discarded qimonda due to stability issue or cost saving...?

From some of the news, they discarded qimonda due to their stability and overclock ability, anybody find more news on this samsung 1.0ns vs qimonda 1.0ns?

oc abilty? manufacturers encourage their consumers to oc?
