i wonder my 8800GT isit boleh buang dah ?

guys i am wondering when will the 65nm gtx 260 phased out? i am thinking of getting it next month leh....hopefully can avoid buying the 55nm version

wow, seems like my last post in the old thread regarding 55nm ociblility provoked a debate and discussion that results a new thread and its in page 5 already!  jk

back to topic, well, technically thinking i thought 55nm would be more efficient than the 65nm, but after reading from here seems like most 65nm (for nvidia case) seems to oc better than the 55nm.

and as for the heatsink/heatpipe/backplate thing with the 260, is it just with 260 only or the same reduce of heatsink/heatpipe/backplate issue with the 280 and 285?

thanks!

y not gtx285? 

Yeah.. But still, gtx285 > gtx280 in terms of performance.. (but not by far) gtx280 selling cheap now as gtx285 is the replacement model for it.. But I do miss the sexy backplate though..

no problem dude
first test and see whether ure card can run

mine now is ftw..

y i like the evga is only because of the evga precision tools to monitor and control the gc temp etc..

last few pages a lot of rubbish from ppl who has so few cards and know nothing.

702.. about the same as the zotac amp version couldnt go higher
that time the voltage tuner thingy was not out yet so didnt try
basically the 55nm also has lower 3 clocks, 3vid's.. this address the higher power consumption rate..
yes nvidia also cut cost with changing the pwm buck controller from volttera to intersil.
and yes they also reduce the cooling performance of the stock fan.

but on the other hand look at the mem chips.. they are better binned, smaller and all one side of the card.

a gtx280 can be overclocked as far as a gtx285 interms of cpu clock speed only
shader and especially mem speed.. gtx285 .. is king.

i run my gtx285 100% fan speed all the time.. and its not even noisy..
my coolit pump is much nosier.
the gtx280 was much noisier..

also gtx280 hard to do a vmod but the gtx285 is easy..
ive clocked mine on profile up to 776/1720/2404..
but the heat it produce was incredible
so far stock cooling at 100% fan speed 720/1620/1390 seems to be under 79C without aircon..
so will stick to that.
3dmark06 with ht is already 29k in xp
and 3dmark06 without ht in is already 27k in vista
what else could i want kekeke

dont need
just vmod edit the bios and flash it.. whats so hard..
i normally hate software overclocks. cause its inconsistent and also depends on the software running int he background

yup gtx285, gtx260 55nm will never be able to ..

dont set the vid table in the bios unless u know what ure doing..

when i say vmod its physical vmod of the card

warrantty easy.. if card dying
just blind flash the card back to the original bios
and take off the soldering work uve done ( take note u got to be good with this.. its not hard just some kemahiran hidup at work here)

gtx295 however u can change vid in the bios

manage to oc to 701/1220/1425 2day and passed vantage's graphic test 1 and 2 but the card fecking failed on a featured test   .gonna gv up on oc-ing for the moment being

use nibitor to edit nvidia bios

except for gtx295/gtx285 u need nibitor 4.9..
only available for download if u donate a certain amount..

to flash use nvflash
run in bootdisk .. floppy.. usb.
commands are easy
nvflash -i(0,1,2,3,4,5.. gpu) -4 ( overide the protection) -5 -6 (name of bios).rom
to backup
nvflash -b -i(01,2,3,4,5..gpu) (name of bios example backup.rom).rom

gtx 295 or sli systems

example like me
nvflash -b -i0 zotac1.rom backup second card
nvflash -i0 -4 -5 -6 ftw.rom for first card
nvflash -b -i1 zotac2.rom backup second card
nvflash -i1 -4 -5 -6 ftw.rom for second card

gtx 295 should be the same.

take note its ure risk to find the correct bios etc and trust the person who gave it to u.

have fun

Want to ask, Is GTS250 going to perform better than 9800GTX+?

Since GTS250 is here, by right the price of 9800GTX+ should drop right?

The performance is benchmark against HD4850 right?

Will the new gts250 require lower power than gtx+ does? Moreover gts250 needs only one 6 pin power plug.

test awhile, played the bloody palace till mission 20 then lose, no crash
then play some cut-in movies via story theater, no problem occur at all
then watch again the mission 1 intro movie, then crash
looks like only that cut-in movie has problem?? will uninstall fix it??

this game is original one

Added on March 5, 2009, 5:58 pmi have uninstall & reinstall it again

only have this game right now maple story can also be classified as pc game
btw, i dun think it is gc's problem, bcoz only tat cut-in movie in mission 1 has problem
