w00t i'm getting 52c idle on stock fan on auto mode

you might be right. your card could be using the 3X bios

therefore, pls do a bios dump and send to me before i report you

what i meant is, to back up your 8800GT bios and send it to me

actually you need this guide : http://www.mvktech.net/content/view/14/37/

you need nvflash to back up your bios

GPU-Z only shows information of your GPU and nothing else

your information is outdated.

the new XFX are already using zalman vga cooler

imo, its definitely better than the galaxy...

here is a list of all the XFX 8800GT cards : http://www.xfxforce.com/web/product/listCo...oductId=1558693

if you have the money get the XXX edition, it's the fastest XFX 8800GT and faster than any other 8800GT in our market.

incorrect.

the latest bios is 700/2000..forgot the shader..

if you can't find the XFX XXX edition, then you can settle for Asus TOP Edition.

It has the same clock with a non reference vga cooler.

i'm not sure where in LYP where they sell the XXX edition.

why not ar?

imo, at least factory oc is more stable than self oc.

going to lyp last week is also outdated...

you can get the new xfx with zalman at lyp and digital mall.

next time don't be so outdated kthxbai

ask shinobi, he has it

at least i'm not the one implying attitude with stupidity and serving incorrect information on the menu.

but i have to admit i am an ******* towards idiocy, just can't handle the temptation

some people just has the money to spend on any given price for a performance card without having the knowledge of overclocking.

also, not all non oc card has artifact issues as well. so the minority reports is an invalid excuse for generalization


lol you need to try harder

your not getting my point.

if the consumer is seeking for the best without having the liberty of researching the knowledge of overclocking, would rather spend on a pre-overclocked card than finding out how to overclock himself. nothing to do with smart buy or blind buy. some people has the money to spend and some doesn't. someone who can afford the best card in the world and make's a quad sli doesn't even have the second thought of worthy. it's like buying two 32" apple cinema displays. i'm sure you would think it's not worth it. people who are rich has less sense of necessity because they can always get another at any given point of time.

i know alot of people in this topic are avoiding the qimonda memory chips. i'm simply making a statement.

and btw, why are you telling me to try harder when that post wasn't meant for you?

read up :http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=591656&view=findpost&p=16646577

some say..to spend wisely or to spend blindly..

for me...i have no regrets buying anything for pure style. not to say i'm rich or whatever but i can just afford it. i classify these as casual buyers "nerd-free style".

if you don't have and don't intend to have the knowledge of overclocking, then let the money do the work for you. simple.

i can't stress any further how superior XFX cards are. well anyway here is some nubcake's XFX with ZALMAN cooler without the KILLmonda memory chips.

yet to be tested

try using hwmonitor from cpuid. try gaming for an hour and check the temperature after. make sure you leave hwmonitor running in the background while you game.
