8800GT in my rig

Initial numbers from the 8800GT in my machine, I maxed out the FSB and ran the initial benches with the video card at stock speed and LOD 0. The card is basically out of the box and load driver. I did tune for best performance in the ntune display performance tab.

What interests me in this card is the changes in the core as well as the new process for overclocking, I run a 24/7 machine so reduction of heat output from the new card I can notice.

The card is much smaller than the GTX/Ultra in physical dimensions and it only takes one PCIE power connector. The card is also a single slot card and with the fan at full speed it is noticeable.

The bolt pattern is different from the GTX/Ultra and I cannot confirm it matches the GTS or previous generation bolt patterns yet but chances are it does.

I used the newest Rivatuner to overclock the card with the stock cooler installed. I was able to push the core to 750Mhz pretty easy and the memory to its rated speed of 1Ghz.

Anyway, here is the card at stock speed in my rig and the overclocked scores below that.

Intel Yorkfield @ 4.8Ghz
Asus P5E3 480FSB 1:2 7-6-5-15-1t
Nvidia 8800GT stock
Corsair Dominator 1800C7 @ 2.2v
Enermax Galaxy 1000
Vapochill LS -50c

For those of you with card heat issues then this is the card for you, this card runs much cooler in the case than the Ultra. The price seems decent for the performance. If it was clocked any higher it would price out the GTX too much. The new process is running fine and it will be interesting to see what these cards can do with more voltage.

thanks for posting! do you have other cards to compare it to? can you check avg fps in some dx10 games, like bioshock, ut3 or crysis?

what about some SLI numbers with a 680i mobo :D

i'll be testing SLI on my cards later tonight

still buzzing after meeting this guy :D

cookie for anyone who guesses who it is hehehe

Mr. Nvidia :) (CEO of Nvidia)

Is the card the same length as the 8800GTS?

I have a decent list of DX10 and vista games.

Lol, he is holding a cardboard cutout of Josh. Nice photocop :)

I never had a GTS to compare.

Charles awsome chip i wish i had one to test the VGA with, i'm getting 12144 marks on 3dmar06 with E6850 @ 3.6GHz and stock VGA.

What are your max GPU clocks? im impressed with shader clocks i have already tested 1750MHz and is ok

you are using rivatuner to OC them Felipe?

for separate clocking you have to change a couple of settings in power user tab if you are in XP.

So far: shaders 1800MHz are ok

Updated with overclocked gpu 750/1000

800/1100 doesnt work so I am playing well under that.

same here i tryed 750mhz on the core and was a no go, then 1100 on the ram and didnt work.

I thought it was shader clocks what was holding me back but i tryed independent clocking and i can go further on shaders and no issues (1800MHz).

this card so far:

720 core (max) - 1800 shader (testing) - 1000 ram (testing)

now i'll start looking for max shaders and max ram

if anyone know how to measure vgpu or vmem it would be awsome

What cooling are you using for 750/1000?
10-28-2007, 10:19 PM
Charles Wirth

20c ambient and stock cooler.

Overclocked 750/2000 results seems low compared to GTX/Ultra @650-700mhz with such Uber processor ;)
I was thinking with 50mhz higher on core this card can easily beat GTX/Ultra's ,but it looks it's far behind, even in 3d's without high resolutions and filters:rolleyes:

very nice so 750 for benching is doable :)

looks like a 90K+ '01 card easy with 5.5Ghz E6700 of mine :D

Ahh Fugger, i've noticed your 3d2003 is bugged , gt2 and gt3 i mean. Can you rerun it again, but to be bug free , before starting the test, set display resolution manually to 1024x768 , then give us result, with this processor it must be in 53-54k range ;)

I bet you a Beer that you dont get it right :P it is working at 2.1v

I found my shader clocks and when I push the GPU it goes up with it. Right now at 1890Mhz, this incorrect?
