9800 GTX Reviews

[straxusii]

I noticed something odd in crysis bench at vhigh/1650x1050.

First run averaged about 19.5, the 2nd and third runs then averaged slighltly lower.

Ive never seen this before, I wonder if it is throttling dueto the o/c. I'll try at stock clocks and see if I get the same.

Just tried with stock clocks and I see exactly the same, very strange. With my GT on the same rig I dont get this and as you would expect the second and third runs are higher than the first.

Is anyone else seeing this with a 9800GTX?

Cant imagine its a driver issue as the card is pretty much the same as an 8800GTS

Dropping to DX9/High the issue goes away, weird!
