8800GTS 320MB Results so far....

Okay sorry guys I was at the cinema :p yes I managed to drag myself away from the card ;) Well the thing with the overclocking coolbits utility is that it seems to crash on the 97.92 drivers, I may possibly try one of the beta drivers in which to try it out! I just clocked mines to 550Mhz core as I knew that was safe in the OC version and obviously it worked fine :) so sorry easy I'll try and fix this.....just for u ;)

THe PCB itself is Green, wanted it to be black myself but oh well!

Also........i was suspended for bumping my thread on the members market....
 
Loadsa, a few questions:

How are you finding the card overall? are you pleased with it compared to the X1800 that you had previously?

Why dont you overclock your CPU/GPU... I didnt think it was possible to use a conroe at stock :p

To the OP of this topic:

What resolution are you playing Oblivion on my friend?

Thanks man, its been really a quick test and its breathed new life into oblivion for me iv started again :)

Definately a great card for the money, there is only once choice if your thinking of spending £150 because there is no reason not to pay the extra for something which will last a long time no doubt, and the Dx10 stuff is there which warrants the purchase even more!

I've looked everywhere and i cannot find this card for £150 any chance you can tell me where it's available at that price?

I can answer ** question for the x1800 too ;) iv had one of them myself and that was the card I played oblivion with! The difference was staggering I mean its super smooth in any part of the game, couldnt believe how well it copes.

Also its just a damn site faster in all departments as far as I can see!
Went from x1950pro to this tho ;)

Also i think i mentioned that all games etc were run at 1280x1024 :) very good results! Id like to try higher but dont have a monitor capable of!

Also Pretty sure loadsa has the same res as me

Okay we cant discuss thats not allowed. Also the card is not £150, that is not what I said, if u read that quote again I mention if you were looking to pay £150 for a card then there is no reason to SRETCH that little bit extra to get something just so much more worthwhile in the long run :) sorry if it got you excited

Im finding it absolutely astonishing, its a huge improvement over my x1800, i didn't think the increase in performance would be so great, but its amazing having 16xAA/16xAF on in everything :D , and you can definately see the difference in IQ, colours are richer, its more sharper etc... for years they have been behind ATi in the IQ stakes, but not anymore.

Im just not into overclocking, im happy with the way everything is running at stock. :)

Despite not being able to get auto detect on the NTune thing to work properly I decided to manually clock the card, I went to a 652mhz core and 900mhz(1.8Ghz effective) on the memory and then thought that sounded okay for a shot! :) Now I could have clocked higher but didnt wanna risk anything....so as it stands, at the moment I know it can reach 152mhz more on the core and 200mhz more on the mem, not bad so far.

SM 3.0 Score 4445 Marks

As we can see again that cpu is holding me back somewhat, 10k on the right setup will be so easy tbh! :D
