9800gtx

Today 2 new GFX cards droped down in my mailbox, 9800GTX to be specific, Im still waiting on my EVGA 780i board and it should come sometime this week, but until that i have to run one card and test them a little.

Results will come during the night, on AIR to begin with

Very nice,you should have bought a 790i instead of an 780i

Can't wait for your results, Krullet ;)

no cooler shot, i want to see the stock cooler, or did you only receive the cards like that?

i didnt have the money to buy a nice set of ddr3 to that kind of board, so i have to w8 a while ..

i have to say im really impressed with this card, after around 40mins of testing im running it in 855/1250, org clocks is 675/1100,

and it seems much cooler than the 88-series..according to rivatuner during 3dmark05 i have around 32-34C, with 780/1200

Awesome!! Looking forward to it :up:

thanks for the comments, i dont have so many screens for you this evening, because i have an exam on friday and about 600 more pages to read so i had to stop a little bit early today to catch up in the books

DFI LT P35
QX9650
CRUCIAL PC8500
9800GTX

Original clock

stopped here for the evening

Will run some more tomorrow after i have been to school and hardcore study

will also make comparisons against 8800GT singel and SLI,

Can you post a 3DMark06 shot?

Yes i will do that todat, didnt have the time yesterday, more results will come up during this day..

Who cares about a 3DMark06 shot its a meaningless benchmark. I want runs on Crysis, Quake Wars, Cod4 and UT3 to give a good idea how it handles REAL games.

maybe its meaningless for you, but for most of the ppl here its not..

We don't give a damn about your games . Here we discuss something else . Respect the people hwo push their own hardware to the limit . If you do not like it , do not read it .Search for another topics with game tests , there's a lot of them .

Is that 840mhz without any vGPU adjustments?

hey!
waiting for a nice review especially with real life apps (games) kai compared with your other gpus :)

big big thanks :)

Xtreme 3D team remember ?

Nice results, I wonder why these cards overclock that high, higer voltage ?

Yes I believe stock vgpu is around 1.3v (read it somewhere) which explains the clocks , just like a vmodded gts .

I assume it will bench like a vmodded gts too . Looking forward to more benchies Krullet.

:up:

I wonder if you can flash the 8800GTS with the 9800GTX bios?

Ideally they could have implemented hardware switching to give different voltages , as the 7950GT era had . Or some form of software switching . It has been reported that while sharing the same basic core there has been much work on the gtx pcb and power regulation circuits , so maybe that is where the new voltages and clocks come in .

:up:

some more results, i ran most 3d05 today to test different clocks and to find the best stable ones..the mem could run 1300+ but then i had to run with much lower shader, 1310mhz gave me artifacts, so i decided to run with lower mem and higher shader clock..

will test more tomorrow, i think the gpu and mem can go a little higher maybe 855/1290-95 with shader 2130-2140..

anyway some 05, aq3 and 06

will try with higher cpu clocks tomorrow, and some 01 with my e8400 and around 580 fsb

i will try and find the time for subzero this weekend, i think i should have a few hours.

wow, that is insane! good job on the clocks ;)

Am I dreaming ?

3d06 with single GTX ?? :shocked:

Looking good Krullet!!! Sweet clocks on card! :-) GL HF!

I think i may give one of these a try against my XFX Ultra XXX 685M on launch :D
It's looking better everyday for 9800 GTX.

thanks !!!

ye 9800GTX is a sweet card, will run more 3d06 today, just ran one round of 06 yesterday, will run with 4.6ghz today..

i cant w8 on getting my 780i board, it might arrive today, at the latest tomorrow..it will be fun..

I wouldn't......

How did you adjust the fan speed on the GTX? If i set the fanspeed to 100% in RivaTuner it stays at 100% for only 2 or 3 seconds and then switches back to the default 35%.

Very nice. Would it be possible for you to run a total stock 05,06 and AM run? I know that isn't very "extreme" but knowing the zero point performance of this card would be very helpful...too me at least lol.

Thanks

Heres a 06 run with stock frequencies and an e6850@3.6. VIsta X64.

Do the GTX have the same layout as the GT? Can I use my EK waterblocks on this card? That would be awesome :- )

The distance between the holes are the same since the core is the same so I guess the answer to that question is yes

Very low chance, the entire VRM section is totally different.

yes exactly as deux says, the VRM area is different, the distance is the same as 8800GT/GTS, but that doesent mean it will work with the old blocks..

My new board finally arrived, i will play with SLI during the weekend and post some results as soon as i have them, i will also test the new drivers, will compare .40, .53 abd .70 and show it here..for thoose that are curious..

:) nice

Hawt.
Note: I'm referring to the cards, not the Intel board. :shakes:

In 06 an 8800GT @ 700|1000 1750 does 5996 in SM2 and 5655 in SM3 under Vista. Of course quad core inflates the total score-

http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/4...0636ghzpz9.jpg

I am guessing a GTS 512MB would close the gap in SM3 because of its 128shaders.

Best score I've ever got on a 8800GT on air with the stock single slot cooler was 6.3K in SM2 and 5.8K in SM3-

http://www.madonion.com/results/show...&resultType=14

That was 746 on the core and an 1850 shader clock under Vista x64.

I may get an 9800GTX to play with anyway if they continue to land around 840 on the core or more when overclocked.

sweet setup Krullet!!! GL!.., looking forward to results! :-)
