EVGA 8800GTX NOT RUNNING AT CORRECT SPEEDS

[Thebug]

Hi,
i recently purchased a evga 8800gtx acs3 edition from ocuk,

it states on the website that the core runs at 630 and memory runs at 2000,
but when i start up ati tool or rivatuner it says my core is running at 600 and memory is 1800.

I have tried the latest drivers from the evga site 162.13 and others

Does anyone have any ideas why.

What speeds does it say on the retail box it came in....

I think you can enter the card S/N number on EVGA website and it will tell you which card you have...

On the back of your EVGA 8800gtx card there will be a number....Have a look on evga site here for specs http://www.evga.com/support/specs/default.asp?fam=23

WHY DON'T YOU JUST OVERCLOCK THE CARD TO THE ADVERTISED SPEEDS?

OR CHECK TO SEE THAT IT DOES GO TO THOSE SPEEDS IN GAMES USING RIVATUNERS CLOCK MONITOR.

I've got a standard clocked GTS overclocked quite a bit but when it's just sitting there the clocks drop back to default. Possible that yours is doing the same?

Because i paid extra for a bios overclocked version

If your using window xp...You could read the clocks set in the firmware(bios) with this program http://www.mvktech.net/component/op...id,2085/chk,ba58650e72f8896ffda93b9e39518592/

So just overclock it yourself to those speeds.

the core is supposed to be 630, memory supposed to be 2000 and gpu shaders supposed to be 1400.

so what have i paid the extra cash for then, might as well have bought a standard gtx and overclock that

That would be too easy.

Should have saved yourself some money then, all gtx's clock to at least that clock.

tis easy yes but i have paid for a oc'ed card

 

[chaparral]

That would be too easy.

But then he would have to have a 3rd party appz running for overclocking it...

Buts evga they dont mind if you overclock it yourself, plus its running at its stated speeds so nothing is wrong.

 

[lay-z-boy]

You can overclock them with drivers + coolbits + panel tweak, so no.

Panel tweak ....why would you want to tweak the stock nvidia panel
