would like to see more reviews with 640GTS overclocked. All these test are running on 513 core for GTS. the GTS oc'ed will be just as good or better than a GT

EVGA 8800GT $229 :eek: http://shop3.outpost.com/product/5434329
GTS @ 648/1620/2000 is pretty much a stock GTX ...Quote:

these pix sum up VRAM vs performance:

when no AA, MSI GT @ 650 is pretty much a stock GTX,
http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/...nce/page16.asp
but when AA is on .. ie. VRAM usage creeps near 512MB it starts to slow down ...
not that matter tho .. ill prolly run crysis @ very high 1680x1050 no AA 16AF ... with GT SLI.. maybe 2XAA ... maybe its ok to go 50MB over the limit , without slowdown , due to the high bandwidth?

$363 aud...
Absolutely. Most games haven't topped 400 for me at 1920x1200 full FF/AF. Tho I have managed a whopping 865 in Oblivion after 1 hour at only 2x/8x thanks to all the high res texture mods + other mods such as Natural Environments, Martigens Monster etc etc. So it's possible...Quote:

notes that "Memory bandwidth (GB/s)" row, it should have been pixel fill rate right?? i mean GTS = 500MHz x 20 ROP ( orvertex processors) = 10 Giga-pixels/sec
interestingly GT has 28 TMU or pixel processors , and 16 ROP, vs GTS 24 TMU, 20 ROP, vs GTX's 32 TMU, 24 ROP ... maybe this means less VRAM usage for textures?? we'll see..
Why aren't there any reviewers encorporating cards everyone has at home - the 7xxx and X19xx series
I want to see how 8800gt compares to an x1950xtx and 7900gtx
-is that too much to ask for? :mad:
Finally, $230 is a price I had expected seeing in perhaps 1 - 2 weeks though, not immediatly after launch. :) *waits for european etailers to follow the example*Quote:

I've bought my medicine textbooks (weigh a ton) from them deleivered and it wasn't expensive. Esp now with the AUB being $.91. The price say $230 USD works out approx 300 AUB delivered and it's prob going to be $280.Quote:

Do you think you'll go for the Innovision Adam?Quote:

I'm building a system for a friend at the moment and he doesn't know which card to go for. Roughly $40 difference between the stock Inno vs the EVGA KO at ITS-Direct.
depends how much you value that 40 dollars.
if these chips are anything like the other 8800 chips, they will all clock fairly similarly(pot luck). i did look at the ko at itestate and almost pressed the buy button...:)
if it had been at a local store i would have...umart at milton in brisvegas lets me pick it up in person and i save on cartage.
itestate are asking 33 bucks for delivery!
evry dollar counts in this so called "mid-range performance" category imo.
its-direct..:
http://www.itsdirect.com.au/
so the ko is 35aud more :shrug: i dont know what the ko's shaders are clocked at.
Yay, ncix shipped last night and it will arrive here on thursday.
Outpost charges tax unfortunately, so throw an additional $20 or so for me on that :down:
The 2 questions I have, why have the benchmarks of sli performance been so dismal at lower resolutions? This is odd.. I wonder if they didn't setup the control panel correctly. This is why I would like to see more users get a hold of this card instead of the review sites.
I will be popping off the G80 bracket and using the standard mcw60 bracket on this along with ramsinks for the memory. What else needs to be cooled on this board? Where are the vregs located, is there an i/o chip? What is that thing that looks like it has a plastic cover on it.
I'm psyched to try this out and maybe pitch a few extra dollars and step up to the gts version... maybe :D
You mean don't run DX10. They run Vista excellently. XP is alive and kicking btw (especially for gaming)! :yepp:Quote:

One might want to wait until this happens... Sure, the 512MB board is a great deal but an option for 1GB would be really interesting for those with bigger screens.

The fan is very whinny at 100%
louder than all the gts/gtx/ultra and reminds of hd2900xt running around 80-90% fan speed
@cstkl1
What was your max GPU temp?
Thank
yupQuote:

the 2nd one was done with the room fan on
also room temp was abit lower as it was like cloudy and looked like going to rain when i did that
Cool. I think i'll buy a stock and OC myself. Depends really on the price of an OC though..
Thanks, didn't think 66c was right considering all reviews had it so high..
I am glad I bought a fatal1ty ahead of time for my card, got the fatal1ty yesterday (woot frozencpu!) and my 8800GT is out for delivery today :D

People with a 8800GT and a multimeter needed.
glad to see that reports was saying it to be hot because of low fan speed.
66°C with the crappy stock cooler isn't that bad, results should be good on wc, looking forward to see some.
