** The Official 8800GT 512/256mb Review/Overclocking Thread **

ah sorry I didn't realise how offensive my post seemed! I mean its seemingly performing worse than my GTS 640mb which apparently for a GT should be surely better?. I can only assume i'm doing something wrong while benching it. I'll know a lot more when my GT arrives.

In what games?

Try Crysis at 1280x1024 all high and post screenie of it in Crysis bench thread.
 
Well i'm enough of a forum noob as it is to be posting pictures! ;)

I've just been doing more testing now.

Someone with an 8800gt on a c2d @ 3.6ghz got....

@ 1920x1200

Min 23
Average 28
Max 32

At this i am getting on my 8800gts 640mb c2d@ 3ghz...

@1920x1200

Min 12
Average 20.4
Max 23

===================================================================
So clearly..the GT is better :) which i'm pleased about as mine is already ordered!

(both takes pressumably done on EVERYTHING high @ 1920 x 1200)

EDIT

Just done tests @ 1680 + everything high (apart from proc on medium) just like yours (willhub) which from looking at your screenie you got basically....

Min 17.62
Average 33.35
Max 38.5 ish i guess overall

My c2d @ 3.0ghz + 640mb GTS @ 614/874 identical settings...

Min 14.39
Average 30.50
Max 38

So yea the GT seems better for sure, and nice to pocket £40 or so ontop too :)

=======================================================================

On 1280 + max everything as you described i'm getting

Min 27.46
Average 50.5 ish
Max 67-70ish

Hi,

Still trying to get this card to fail during 3Dmark06 :D

Currently at 770 / 2000 / 1800 with a score of 13591 atm

How much higher roughly should the core go ?

Is it safe to keep going ?

Normal cooling with the fan at 60% max temp is 78c.
 
Yer BFG GT,

Don't know if i should push for more on the core ?

Was wanting to find the upper limit on that before tweaking the Memory and
Shaders a bit more.

Just that i am getting a bit scared now lol

Need to update my sig ;)

What cooling ?

And have you tested for artifacts?

What temps under load?

hope my gigabyte GT gets around those scores!! *when it finnaly arrives*

real sweet Oc'ing card you got there Angus
 
Nope

The GT is a faster card

As stated I have found that my XFX xxxExtreme OC 640MB GTS Edition is definetly faster than the smaller 512MB GT..... Sweet as :cool: My friends GT stutters when the AA is raised in games when my XFX xxxExtreme OC 640MB GTS Edition glides through, must be the higher amount of memory, GTS 640MB = GT's 512MB and the biggest diffrence being the Bus Bandwidth, GTS 320Bit :cool: and the GT's smaller 256Bit, I do like my games with the AA ramped up but with the GT's smaller memory and smaller 256Bit Buswidth its not a good upgrade from a GTS...:D Only until the G92's arrive early next year, will we will see a bigger diffrence in performance...

Just the stock cooler (fan @ 60%)

O/clocking with rivatuner and no artifacts during 06 - both my GTS and GTX
shot there bolt at 634 core on the forest bench.

Not tried it during normal gaming as i was only messing trying to get the
upper limit (Was happy with 700) - but runs 3dmark06 fine and I noticed
Devious was getting 765 on the core on his GT so I thought i would ramp it
up a bit.

Temps vary between 73 - 78c over the 4 tests.
