how good/bad are 320mb 8800gts @ 1920x1200 with no AA?

Maybe.

Even in F.E.A.R, maxxed everything out, 1440x1050 res, softshadows, it wasent super laggy, lowest was 30fps, but it went up to like 100+ in some places, 60fps could have been the avarage?

Do the F.E.A.R performance test mate and post the results!
 
Ok, and in the meantime, the GPU score for Aquamark 03 was 12873 :s

Also the 8800 is overclocked now aswell: 600 Core/1980 Memory.

Max temp is 83-84 degrees and idle is 50-60 degrees.

Were do I get the F.E.A.R performance test?

It's somewhere in the menu once you start the game
 
Ok

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v319/thehub/test2.jpg (This one is when I maxxed everything out in game and my max res is 1440x1050 or something like that.

You see I dont udnerstand this, Rainbow Six Vegas, its more graphically intensive than F.E.A.R right? yet both seem to get similar FPS, well except Vegas dipped down to 19 in one part.

those results for F.E.A.R look spot on to me very similar to me and my 1680x1050 8800GTS 320 test. Me and loadsamoney have been comparing F.E.A.R benchmarks all night so i have a pretty good idea of what's spot on :p .
 
Yea buy I was at 1440x1050 lol, so going higher res would make frames go down, but would it? it seems like higher res makes frames go up on the 8800 series and lower on lower res :p

Also just been trying out BF2142. I maxxed everything, 1440x1050 res, force 16x AF and 4x AA and it was all smooth, but I was getting 1 second or shorter kind of freezes sometimes, but my memory usage was at 97-98%, and I only have 1GB, so is it safe to say these low 3D Mark and Aquamark scores and possible low FPS in Vegas could be due to CPU/Memory limitation? if so then if I got something like an X1950XTX, then I would be lagging even more right?. Everything seems playable at max, so all I need to do is wait untill june then I can get new ram C2D and new motherboard.

Also my overclock seems abit low for the Gainward 8800GTS though at 600/1960, the GPU can get to around 630mhz but then I crash and driver stops working so I have to reset, and after 980 on the memory I get artifacts but not detected, detected at 1000, and GPU temp is around 84 degrees.

Do you know any super intensive games out atm? would stalker MP demo be more intensive than anything currently out? If so if I try that and its maxed out and not lagging then I know everyhting ok :)

Either way its a damnd sight better than my X800XTPE, in BF2142 I was getting extreme lag of like 20+ seconds :eek: oh and it was the worst overclocker ever :p

Also is it possible I am getting 19fps in Rainbow Six Vegas due to it been a crappy XBOX Port anyway?, I know someone with an X1900XT, he says he can run it all on max, maybe it works better on ATi due to the GPU in the Xbox 360 been an ATi?

Were can I get the MP Beta for stalker from anyway?

Thats a relief, and unusual lows 3DMark, Aquamark? CPU/Memory limitation?

The 3DMark and Aquamark im not so sure, i don't tend to bench that much i normally just do it once and actually use my GPU for what i spent my hard earned on and thats playing games. id say try a few game time demos compare them about if everything seems fine don't worry about it, if needs be reinstall XP?.
 
I did a fresh instal of XP anyway because I needed a mobo for PCI-E, maybe its the mobo, got it second hand for 20 quid.

In ATi Tool it says: Active ROP's: 0, Active Streaming Processors: 0.

Should it say this? :s

Also why cant I get 16x AA from the Nvidia control panel, the max I can get is 4x :s

I noticed with Everquest 2 aswell I seem to get extreme lag, I notice my memory is also at 98%, and even my old X800XTPE should have been able to run the game on maximum settings but it couldent, so I wonder why Everquest 2 lags.
