Play with 975X + 7300GT SLI

[DEVIL K-ce]

Hello ;)

In wednesday and thursday I play with two Galaxy GeForce 7300GT DDR3 500/700 stock. Card is very :stick: OC without mod's - 550/750 :confused:

So my friend Matiz search for vgpu and send me pencil trick for this card. Ok, vgpu in card and 605/810MHz only :( But I am insistent and push this combo with MSI Platinum PowerUP & E6600 (chiller cooled ) & Geil Value 667MHz clocked 410x9, mem 1:1 4-3-3-6@2.4.

Ok time for scores and photos :D

Excellent scores and nice work, 2 WR's ! :D

[mr_knowitall15]

wow... thos escores are nearly twice as high as mine... And with low end gfx... god i cant wait to build a conroe rig :woot:

[Fr3ak]

Nice scores. :D
That reminds me to publish some of my scores :)
Are you only running 410*9?
Your scores are quite high compared to my scores.
Guess I need a fresh OS install and a second stick of ram.

[zakelwe]

Very nice work :toast: .. are you going to run FM approved drivers as well or are those particularily fast? You are actually 4th in 05 because TheStilt has 3 scores at the top :)

Fr3ak, yes you definitely do need that extra RAM stick, how come you only have one ?

I am 12th I think in 2001 ... should improve tonight though. I'm getting 375fps in nature on the stock cards which is not too shabby.

I won that one stick here at XS, but unfortunately a single HZ stick is not available in Europe, so I would have to order one from the US. Will do that sooner or later. Dont have the money for it right now. I wouldnt have bought 7300GTs if I had lol :)
Nice to see that my watercooled Ho aint that bad :)

Devil K-ce, what voltage are you running the cards at?
Have you tried using Nibitor to modify the delta? I guess you can clock it a lot higher with a delta of -100 instead of 0.

[DEVIL K-ce]

Thank's for all ;)

Fr3ak : yes only 410x9 - MSI 975X have FSB wall at more of 410MHz :(
Voltage is stock + pencil mod, and I no modify bios of card's.

zakelwe : FM approved drivers for Intel SLI ?

Somebody pointed that out to me after I wrote it as well .. I've only tested a single 6600GT up to now though so it was not obvious to me at the time :)

Use Nibitor to modify the delta.
I was able to bench at 700/795 with a -100 delta where 595/795 was the max with stock bios and a delta of 0.

Thank's :toast: I try tomorrow and post my result's ;)

[Fr3ak]

Good, then I have some serious competition after I modded my cards :)

Wow, the results with the modded delta are impressive to say at least.

"Let's mod the cards, Massman" :D

[Fr3ak]

I will try it with one card tomorrow as well. If it dies I am getting a DDR3 7600GS and run it with the 7300GT in mixed SLi :)
But be careful with the ram. I dont think I will be running it with more than 2.1V. Maybe 2.05V, because according to specs its supposed to run at 1.8V and Palit already overvolted it ^^
I was gonna get Zalman fans for the cards, but the Palit stock cooler seems to do a nice job. I have between 50 and 60C when running 700/777 without an additional fan blowing at the cards :)
Those little monsters are the best bang for the buck cards I have ever owned. And also the ones with the highest OC. Ususally I have always bad luck with the ram on the cards. My 7800GT only liked a 100mhz OC,my 9500 was unstable with 2mhz more than stock lmao.
Will be fun benching the cards again. Maybe we someone of us can make it into the 60s in 01.

Nice totally smokes me and my lonely x850xt and 3.2 allen

1) Mem can take up to 2.5v (says the datasheet) :D

2) The cards are really chill :). Mine don't go above 53°C when running at 600/800.

3) Once again, the -100 delta is really good for those cards: 700MHz. on stock cooling is nice.

4) A friend of mine got his E6600 and will recieve a X6800 soon. You can already guess what we'll be doing within a few weeks :D

[Fr3ak]

Are you sure about the ram? I think I have found 2.1V max for AFLxx. AFxx can take more, because its default voltage is 2V and AFL's is 1.8V.
So we will have 3 Conroe/7300GT combos. Will be fun :D

Is the MSI board good? It seems to be the cheapest 975 board in the UK...

Page 80:

-> 2.5v is maximum

By the way, I just modded my cards. The chips suggested in the XS-thread are correct. Now I'm at 1.2v and 2.05v; too bad I don't have any cpu lying around to play with. This week a venice 3000+ should arrive here.

Hmmm is ok, but 410x9 and wall :confused: Maybe with new bios can more.

will i got WR if i SLI my 7300GT?
heres my result on single card..

sorry for 3Dmark 06 got accident when hit print screen.. it was my previous score when i running 3Dmark 05 :D

[Fr3ak]

Could be close for sli wr. My best single card score is a little higher than yours.
And Stilt has 7400 with a single card.

[Phosphate]

These DDR3 7300 GTs look pretty good. Too bad I couldn't find them in the US back when I was looking a few months ago.

Does anyone know if they (DDR3 version) are available in the US yet?

[zakelwe]

I've been benching the 7300GT tonight all air cooled and completely stock.

Those are DDR2 or DDR3 versions?

DDR3 .. with 128bit bus you'd be screwed with anything less than that with these.

Meh, conroe is really adding performance here :)

Have you modded the bios with a negative delta ?

[Fr3ak]

Those are DDR3. No way DDR2 can run 1600Mhz ;)
Nice score. Those are Galaxy 1.2ns cards right?
Nice to see that the ram is almost as fast as my Palit's 2ns :)
Will mod my second card, which is the better one tomorrow if I have the time, then I can run some SLi tests.
Looking at your score, it looks like I have to get another stick of ram. Seems to have a advantage running DC for 01.

Nice score :clap: My MSI can't do more of 410MHz and :(


@Fr3ak : yes Galaxy have 1.2ns, 1.4ns and 2.0ns mem.

I try to mod my bios and nothing. Change with nibitor the delta clock to -100, save, flash and still delta is 0. Lock bios on card :rolleyes:

delta should be 156 if I'm not wrong.

Check one of Big_Sam's thread for the full explanation.

By the way, my dice pots are almost ready to be shipped :cool:

[Fr3ak]

Dice gah, thats not fair :P
DEVIL K-ce I explained the delta stuff in my pm :)

[zakelwe]

Those Galaxy cards are now back in my games machine so they are completely stock and no BIOS mod or such. They probably would go higher but 600/800 was a nice round figure. I'll mod them and test them again later in the year when it gets colder and for the moment will return to my GF 6 series cards for benching.

I really like the 7300GT cards, a lot of performance for the money.

If Fr3ak was running two sticks of RAM I would imagine his score would be a lot higher and approaching 60k. Massmans DI should prove interesting. I watch with interest all your scores in the coming weeks ..nice work guys :toast:

Andy

[DEVIL K-ce]

Bios moded and vgpu pencil trick ;)

Big, big thank's for Fr3ak

665/820MHz testing and ok.

[Fr3ak]

hehe no problems. Eek I am only 5fps in front, its getting interesting :)
Good thing I am making progress with my modded card.
But I from what it looks I wont be able to run much more than 800Mhz on the ram in SLi. Will find that out tomorrow. Still testing the first card at 1.25V/2.05V 746/800 now.

You're cards have really bad mem chips; mine do 810 and 825 at 2v

[Fr3ak]

Well my other sli card does 800Mhz and the one I sold did 830 at 2v.
But I kept the one with 777 ram because it was faster at 592/777 than 585/595.

[DEVIL K-ce]

Ok small update 01, 03 and Aquamark

3D 2k1 - 54583 (http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k1=9044326)
