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?

Here: http://www.svethardware.cz/forum/dow...do=file&id=136

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?

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

it has 275MHz of delta.

Try rivetuner separate clocking works really nice on XP. here is how to do it

The card you got seems to be a lot better than mine, now im testing the 2nd one.

Thanks, I tried the 1024x and it gave me around 500 points gain. I am dialing the card in more and I will get the PCIE speeds maxed as well.

nice clocks and pic of the back of the card.
it tells me the rhs88 wont fit for the vf-1000 i thinks

Get those cards voltages up m8s ;)

There are some 8800 GT cards that dont run more than 670 MHz on the GPU and 1000 MHz on the memory with stock volts and cooler. Just for your information :) Its a gamble, dont forget about that.

seems like 720-730 is the average from what i know.

Edit: Woops my bad. I should look at the right screenshots...


I tested 4 8800GT so far from different brands and I wouldn't say 720-730 MHz is average. More like 700/1000MHz.

I'm itching to get one of these things overvolted and watercooled! :P
But I hope the power regs don't get screwy at >>700MHz...

FUGGER,
Have you yet peeked under the HSF?
I'd be interested in the power regulation. Is it 2-phase or 3-phase on your card? The PCB actually does allow 3-phase, like VR-Zone's review card which has empty pads for a 3rd choke plus a pack of FETs and caps:

I haven't received the card yet ( customs suck :mad: ), if you need help on finding the spots & values I need some info :)

new drivers are out from nvidia website, 169.02

can anyone confirm how this card runs comapred to a 8800gtx stock vs 8800gt stock from a money point of view i would really like to know.also if possible can someone run this card NOT overclocked for 1 quick 3dmark06 run and say cpu quad\dual clocked to 3-3.5ghz for a better idea of how this card runs in a non phase pc.bottom line is it faster then a 8800gtx,or no?

so its faster then a 8800gtx(or close)?still hard to tell with this review using a non released screamer(penryn) on phase at 4.8ghzx4 being quads cpu score raise it alot plus the cards heavily overclocked.i will do some research 8800gtx vs 8800gt..i get 12k 3dmark06 stock gtx with 3.6 dually,running quad add another 1,500-2k to overall score i think?

yeah that was add as my shader testing with 8800GTS wasn't that special :confused:

looks like ln2 might not even be needed for max clocks lol, would love to see what this can do with water/dice/ln2 and some heavy modding :P, btw fugger could if you wanted with sli of these take 3dmark06 record?

anyone know which bits there have contact with the stock heatsink?

Cozwin, might be possible. Waiting on bios atm.

I can squeeze a bit more out of this card. One of the things I do is re-torque each screw making sure the core is as tight as possible without breaking it. Make sure you have the right screw driver to prevent damage or dont do it at all. I have not taken the heat sink off.

7900GS vs 8800GT

http://img86.imageshack.us/img86/5483/dsc0073xs2.jpg

the GPU is sooo big compared to 7900GS, so i need a vmod anyone has done it?

metro.cl,
vGPU and vMEM mods should be quite similar to those on 8800GTS/GTX, macro shots of the areas highlighted in the jpg attached to this post would help to pinpoint the exact soldering locations. :)

The rectangular chip should be labeled:
Primarion
PX3540BDSG

DO NOT USE THIS IMAGE

will update proper one soon

Thanks, dinos22. :)
Need clarification on the existence of certain traces and few resistance measurements, see attachements.

First pic:
There should be traces between points 1, 2 and 3. It certainly does look like there is a trace between 2 and 3, but is there one between 1 and 2? = if there are traces between 1, 2 and 3 then resistance between each is ~4-6Ω.
Also,
Resistance between points 2 and 4? (might be <10Ω)

Second pic:
Resistance between points 5 and 6? (might be around 500Ω)

All those screws on the back need to come off for the heat sync removal? Anything else?

What cooler are you putting on it, I have the Fatal1ty sitting here for my card, should be here today and I am putting the cooler on it right away.

largon that image was from nvidia FTP

i just looked at my card and it looks a bit different so i took it DOWN for now

and will upload my macros

also can you measure resistance with card not turned on (pretty sure yes) and also how the hell do you measure it :D hahaha

with your ddm just measure
black on one side of resister and red to other side

I ran the Crysis bench, 1680x1050 custom settings, I will re-run with high and very high detail.

Crysis for me run good with the video card at stock.

All stock settings with E6850, at resolution 1024X768.

You know you could always take off the heatsink and see what happens.
Honestly i don't see how a naked GPU would be cooler than one with a good heatsink and thermal compound.

Just like a naked CPU runs hotter than one with a heatsink and good thermal compound. Metal just conducts heat better than air thus you can move heat way from the source faster.

Now back to the topic, I can't wait to get my hands on one of these. I plan on seeing how far i can push it before it breaks. Can anyone tell me how hot does this card usually get at stock?

silly boy
he is refering to a naked DIE like the 7800/7900/8800GT use vs. the 8800 GTS/GTX which uses an IHS to cover the die like your cpu does.

an IHS leaves too much room for heat gaps between the die and the IHS.
thus that is why you see people taking the IHS off their cpu's. in general your only going to get 5 deg better temps but there are extreme cases where i have seen twice that in a temp drop.

Oh, thank you for the explanation. That could indeed be better for temps

Nicely done Charles :hammer:

Last night I was playing around trying to get some sort of result out of my cards after two previous nights of wasted benching time and motherboard horrors with beta BIOSes trying to get something stable with the Yorkfield + high FSB.

Everything came crashing apart night before last when the GA-X38T-DQ6 went out with a pop and it's soul puffed out into the surrounding atmosphere.

So last night, pissed off and just wanting results, I swapped in the GA-X38-DQ6 with the F5h BIOS loaded and cranked the multiplier just to get something happening with this setup. Here's what happened:


System:

Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650 @ 4.66GHz cooled by Frozen SS phase cooler
GIGABYTE GA-X38-DQ6 with BIOS F5h
Corsair Dominator PC2-10000 @ 533MHz (DDR2-1066) 4-4-4-4
NVIDIA reference 8800GT @ 760/1701/1025 (2050 effective) with stock cooling and 169.01 drivers
Silverstone OP1000 PSU
Western Digital Raptor-X HDD

3DMark06 result: 16,357

http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/4465/cropped1xb2.jpg

HWBot compare link: http://www.hwbot.org/result.do?resultId=661269
HWBot profile: http://www.hwbot.org/user.do?userId=11510

Casualties:

1x GA-X38T-DQ6 replaced with GA-X38-DQ6



After getting angry with having no results the platform was moved to the GA-X38-DQ6. Further wanting to simply get results, I avoided the annoyance of FSB overclocking and instability and just cranked the multiplier for some quick results. The memory and general bandwidth of this sytem is quite low for this reason.

There is a lot of efficiency and general extra speed to be gained from this setup. Next step is to get some volt mods happening and get some dry ice on these cards - they're great fun :D

Due to currently being on deadline at work (AtomicMPC magazine) I hadn't a chance until just now to see these results and had thought I'd scored myself a WR but you certainly showed me up mate :p: :ROTF: :clap:

Hopefully I'll get another chance with the gear over the weekend and can get some decent FSB and memory frequencies happening.

BTW, what BIOS did you run on the P5E3 Deluxe? I got the 0508 BIOS earlier in the week but am yet to test it. If it's a winner I'll make a swap to that board for weekend benching with a set of Patriot PC3-15000 modules or the Corsair PC3-14400 that just arrived an hour ago :up:

SM3 seems very low. I'm getting 100point more even on stock ultra frequence with 1 year old GTX mod to ultra. It's strange 150mhz more on GPU and 200 more on Shaders with 600mhz more on CPU and 50&#37; more cache to give you such a low SM3 result:rolleyes:

Hey fugger, how is the noise of the HSF?

I'm a little disappointed it ain't a dual slot HSF, but it probably doesn't need it because it runs so cool.

My main concern is that the little fan supposedly causes an annoying high pitch whine when it spins up - do you notice this?

I cant hear it while gaming. My Vapo is louder.

Not bad Josh, 0503 bios still.

nice results thier charles cant wait to see more. so you see a big diff in the one your sending me and this new one?

perc

pfft what's with the gay scores :D:D:D:D:D j/k

This I find interesting. cstkl1 was able to score higher in 3DMark06 SM2.0 and 3.0 with a slower clocked GT on a dual core cpu vs The Asgard with a higher clocked GT and quad core cpu. Anyone?

cstl1 is using Maximus Formula X38 board vs Asgard's P5K Deluxe P35.. X38 might have slightly better 3d performance :)

yeah i was meaning to ask this

when i overclock this card on my 680 board i can do 740/1836/2100 artifact free
but on the maximus only 720/1800/2100 artifact free

any input on this??

Is the 3D Mark QC optimized ? Are we sure about that ? ...

Possibly the added heat from the maximus NB. The NB is awfully close to the vid card. Try moving the GT to the second PCI-E slot.
