Please post 9800GTX Overclocks

555BUK · 3 Apr 2008 at 16:30

I know most 8800GTS's tend to clock to 750gpu/2100mem and above. What results are 9800GTX owners getting with their new cards?

Please post Brand, GPU, Shader and Mem speeds after overclocking. Please also say if cooling is other than air.

You mean someone actually bought one of these.

Right, own up who was it?

Try doing that with a GTS!!!

Looks like the price of the 9800GTX = 8800 GTS now or cheaper. Think I might pick one up.

Lol looks like GTS performance to me ahah.

830gpu/1245mem/2040shader

The only thing I managed was 830 on the core. 1830 was about the most on the shader and 1100-1150 memory. Core doesn't do much but the shaders make a big difference.

It looks like the 9800GTX are speed binned GTS cores.

The 9800 GTX have 8ns ram and are generally clocking 2500 +

Odd I'm sure people have got 2ghz on the shaders with the GTS, hell GT's are managing higher shader clocks than that, mine maxing out at 1800.

It's only £205 though. Same price as the GTS was on release. What's the big deal? :confused:

. Oh and I doubt that the average GTS clocks to this speed?.

Point I'm getting it is that there's no need to throw in remarks about the card and ruin the thread. That goes to Loadsa also. This is for "9800GTX overclocks". Not "tired, repeated, already known info". I'm not blaming you for repeating yourself Will. Just Loadsa because 95% of his posts have been the GTS=GTX end is nigh. You only need to read something once to understand it. Not everyday and in nearly every post

. It gets boring and old very quickly.

Prefer to pay 40 quid less for an 8800GTS thats all I'm saying.

Its a while since I had one but I'm pretty sure 2Ghz on the shaders isn't possible unless its volt modded. Might be wrong but 1830 on my GTS sounds about right from memory.

willhub · 3 Apr 2008 at 21:23

I'd order the 9800GTX if it came down to £199 tbh.

Maybe he meant the GTS at it's original selling point?

Who cares about the original selling point?

:confused:

K you can pick up 2 x 8800gt for the price of 1 x 9800gtx

IMO the 9800gtx has to drop in price to about £150 to make it even worth looking at

It's a pointless product IMO. No one in the right mind could justify buying it at the current price point.

Great, so this thread has already been ruined now.

No, ive deleted my posts and asked a don to remove them.

How the Hell should I know?

Maybe he does?

I don't care. The point of this thread was for 9800GTX overclocks and we've had about 1 so far.

Then Loadsa, et al turn up with their preaching. Way to completely miss the point. Just leave the whole 9800GTX issue alone now. It's been done, the whole world and his wife know it's an O/Ced GTS. Wow, so what. The Ultra was an O/Ced GTX. Big ******* deal. It's dead now, we're not stupid and we don't need stuff to be repeated to us over and over again.

You complained the thread is ruined right... then you help it get ruined, its like someone smashing 555BUK's car up (if he has one) and you complaining and then helping them do it!!.

Better off buying an 8800GTX whilst you still can imho.

I don't think anyone will when there's a lynch mob out to get them.

I didn't get one btw.

straxusii · 4 Apr 2008 at 06:25

inno3d 9800gtx 800/2000/2220.

Very disapointed with not getting any kind of memory overclock, the only thing really the 9800gtx has over the gts is the ram speed. Seeing as I cant get to around 2.5ghz I'll be sending this back.

Card does run cool though, I get 72 under load with that overclock.

At last a thread without all that "Should have bought a 8800GTS" carp, I got so tired with all them posts It got harder to try and find someone with a actually card that has OC it. Will keep a close eye on what clocks people are getting.
