Long time no see...NVIDIA 8800GTX testing.

After a LOOOOONNNNGGGGG time, I've desided to start playing with NVIDIA VGA's...
This VGA I've played with, is not a good clocker (I think) though but it's a start...:D

Observations: Easy tuning and easy overclocking in comparison with the ATI ones....IF someone has played with ATI and then goes with them, he'll think that it's a piece of cake as for tuning them...EASY....:D

VGA is only Vmem moded for the time been.... :)

Please post your thoughts about the following benches coz I haven't played with NVIDIA for a long time so I do not know what to expect out of it and to "tune" it better....
Thanks.:)

I have to say that I'm with the LN2 container on the CPU for heatsink BUT without any LN2 .....yet....:D
After that bench, I poor in some icecubes and water so as to bench higher...:D

Thanks in advance for your help on tuning it...:) :toast:

Looks like a good start to me hipro :). Have you not tried a cascade on anything yet?

Nice... but poor 8800GTX is gonna be tortured to hell and back by Hipro :D

Repeat please.....What are those and where can I find them?....:D :p:

Yeehaa, we're finally gonna see 100K 3d mark 01!! :banana:

Nice man, have you got 1 or 2 8800GTX's?

900/1150 on 2 cards in SLI combined with a 5,5GHz C2D with good memclocks and some LOD tweaks should take 100K home, do you think you can do it?

Good luck! :toast:

perf & quality settings
other D3D settings

well, i have nvidia drivers in french, not sure about the right name menu :/

and i hope it's this option PallMall was talking about :D

Good start hipro5 is that is your old AWD9-MAX (Still alive)

I think hipro knows about those, they've been out for a while :)

Now ATI LOD tweaking via the registry, that's where the fun is at! :D Though I think ati tool now has lod adjustments in it?

looking at Hipro´s nature score, i would say he´s settings are what they should be for the clocks:)

Get the cards under subzero temps, the X6800 that does 5.4g bench, and I know, FOR SURE, that you will have no problem getting 100k. Im pretty sure thats all KP was lacking, if he didnt already do it, in getting 100k was just that little bit of CPU power. Good luck and welcome to the darkside :D

Soon we will see whether kingpin still has some backup scores left :D

looking forward to the Hipro mod

YAY!!!!!!!

Let's hope so.....:)
For now I've got only one VGA.....Tomorrow I'll have 3 VGAs, one ASUS Stiker and one QX6700 to play with....:)

Yes I have played with all these EXCEPT the prerender limit..Should it be THAT high (255)?....:)

Thanks guys for the encouraging.... :)

just slap me :(

Good luck with all your benching George :toast:, and it's about time you started benching NV cards again, they are the best ;). Your card clocks are looking good for air.. but g80's can go higher with stock HSF.
FYI, I think there will be some new drivers released which will be wqhl towards the middle to end of next week.
May give a little perf boost and finally get the cards in the HOF.
Been waiting forever for them.
Can't wait to see my Tek9's on those 8800's. New brackets fit nice?

@PallMall:
How much do these tweaks give over runs not using them?? Have any testing/screens? I haven't used any of these yet with 8800's.

Nice of you to show everybody :)

Well maybe Hipro5 is a hero, but the PallMall showed him 1 tweak he dident know. Dont take it for granted that he knows everything :D

good to see, hipro5 is back

Yeah Nature looks pretty strong for the card clocks.

G/L on that 100K:D

Nice hipro! I wish I could help with tuning but I need some help of my own :D

I feel sorry for the 8800GTX that is gonna be tortured ;)

Anyway, nice to see you back benchin' nVidia, George :toast:

Tapakahs back too. What a thread of coincidences. :)

good luck hipro and happy new year with ure toy's .
my 8800GTX has gone zombie it works when it feels like it :s

I'm expecting great things from you, hipro. ;)

Thank you guys.....:)

Some more tests (a few) so as to "understand" the 8800GTX card....

Aquamark at 5421MHz and 8800GTX on air at 656MHz Core and 1038MHz Rams....

Testing at 2k5....8800GTX still on air at 656MHz Core and 1038MHz Rams....
