Have you checked so that the PCI-E bus ain't running at 1x or 4x for example, I hear quite a lot people have such an issue depending on bios settings used.

Even if it was running at 4x score wouldn't get cut in half. Somethings seriously wrong. I'm gonna try my old x1950 in there and see if I get scores below my old 1950 scores. Then ill know if its the board or the card.
OK, so BSOD issue seemed to be driver related, the 169.04 drivers are crap on Vista X64.....anyone else with this setup can test unreal 3 and 8800gt, also bsod was random, even at stock with those drivers.
EDIT: problem still present with 169.02 drivers, its a driver issue, when i click on check for solutions, it comes up as a driver problem, so this isnt hardware related....here is the BSOD message.

The point is even if you use your 16x slot it might automaticly set to 4x or whatever even if you set the link speed 16x in bios too. I know several people that have had this problem with very different boards and personally I know only NVIDIA gfx card users with this problem so dunno if it also happens with ATI cards or not, however it's not limited to a specific board or series. Try lowering pci-e frequency back to 100 for example, that's one thing that could possibly trigger it to a lower link speed.Quote:

If nothing else helps going completely stock settings for bios might fix that issue if you can't figure out what's causing it. Even at completely stock speed your setup would display a lot higher score.
Checks out fine here after 2 deathmatches, but in XP so I can't really compare.Quote:

I think thats the most I can push out at this point
Switching from Nvidia mcp to an Intel P35 board was the best performance change I could make.
Gigabyte P35C PWNS Evga 680i in stability and performance
OK, i get a BSOD when i exit UT3 after about 30 mins of play, the BSOD says
Process_Has_locked_pages something like that..............wtf is goin on, anyone else get this crap, im about to return this damn card......this is on a fresh windows install, vista x64 have tried drivers 169.02/04
i hope this is driver related.....didnt have these issues with my 8800GTX, its not my overclock this is strickly a video card issue.
is it only UT3 that locks up?
Uninstall the creative lab drivers and reboot to see if the problem continues. If you can, update your drivers. this should also work for vista 64. What it does it identify the offending file/program causing the error. By any chance the error includes the file name ctoss2k.sys?Quote:

Yeah... ridiculous... evga has them for 269... ive even seen 229... :(Quote:

yup, ~$300 for the 512MB and i'm thinking ~$350 for the 1GB. ETA dec 3rd. :)Quote:

Mine is something about a stop error. I've seen articles about the drivers with vista being buggy. I hope they get ironed out in the final drivers.Quote:

i just tried cod4 at 1920x1200 all settings maxed 4x 8x aa/af for 40fps min..and it varies up to about 80fps...

Would any1 be kind and try start Crysis demo with Vsync forced off with their 8800GT. What I'm wondering if you hear any electrical squeeling high pitched coil noise and how audible it is in that case due to the FPS getting very high, my 7900GTO with prerender limit at the default setting 3 with vsync off the FPS gets about 2500 during the intro animations/ads and it's very audible, setting prerender limit to 0 slows down the FPS to around 1000 though and it's only very faint noise. I plan on getting a 8800GT but if the noise will be even worse then I don't know if I could stand it as my 7900GTO is at the limit what I find comfortable already.
Since 8800GT is quite a lot faster I'm a bit worried about this and thinking I might have to go for RV670XT instead only because of this. ATI uses another approach on this matter but is NVIDIA still cheating on this point?
http://media.putfile.com/fear-valikoima Here's an example from the FEAR menu how it sounds like. Simple animations are making this matter worst and animated GUIs and some videos like I meantioned Crysis or the item menu in Oblivion are things that cause very high fps if vsync is off.
Of course it would be nice if there was any simple software that would limit any game I run at let's say 500 FPS or sth and I'd never have to worry about the noise. Don't know about any such utility though...
Nice :)Quote:

This is the way I always run it with v-sync forced off. I didn't notice any noise at all
but I will run it again when I get home just to make sure.

OK thanks guys, looks like NVIDIA has fixed it then, at least I'm very unlucky if I'd get a card that makes more noise than this. :D
Yes I'm sure it's the graphics card, it's the exact same noise I had on my AMD setup too and only gfx card and HDDs + DVDRW are kept from previous setup and I doubt those would have such noise. :D No noise at all coming from the mosfets on the mobo mobo when running Orthos so it's not the mobo. Besides I run without a case so I can easily point out where it comes from and it IS the card. I even RMA'd it cuz of this but the new 7900GTO also had the noise but it was a little better (not to meantion the memory clocked way better on the 2nd one I got :D). Then I googled around and saw other people also had it with their 7900 series cards and also a few 6800 series users and even some ATI X19xx users and I've also seen a couple of GF8 users claiming having this noise, especially common would be 3DMark when it switches between the scenes. So it is the graphics card. But great if it's not there on your 8800GT, so I know at least not every 8800GT would have this issue, possibly a few but let's hope it's fixed completely now. For some users adding sinks on the component that was making the noise helped for example but I haven't been able to pinpoint exactly where on the gfx card it comes from but somewhere on the right side and possibly the power regulation unit.
Its the creative drivers, 64 bit drivers are out of whack, cant believe this from a company so big, i wish there was an alternative...Quote:
