Time for Nv to upgrade driver. 9800GTX sli test & 9800GTS 2GB

[nosboost300]

i've managed 464fsb out of my 680i and q6600.. i think it needs more fsb voltage... but it only goes to 1.5! gay...

[Scyphe]

can't express how disappoint am I right now.
driver sux, (174.20)
mobo sux, (nv780i)
overclk sux, (<500fsb, <4.5G, <30k)
benchmark reaults sux !!!

finally have time to set up SLI rig,
but...got such a bad 3dmark03 score
the whole benchmark of 9800GTX SLI:

9800GTS 2GB version, slight overclk to 729/972/1822mhz

9800gtx crazy overclk compare:

so......nvidia, plz fix those bugs.
driver now is ok for 9800gts but not ready for 9800gtx.
we hope to see a perfect driver 2weeks after

Not surprising since the 9800GT*-series are slightly tweaked G92's, nothing more. They overclock better than the 8800-series but that's pretty much it.

how about testing some games

Victor doesn't play/bench games.

3Dmark01 score at 4.05Ghz

auto:



overclk to 864/1323

is the 9800GTS 2gb a dual chip card aswell as the GX2?

[hoop]

I want one!

Are these cards released on the 18th of march together with 790i ? Nvidia better catch up in that case with it's drivers.... but I'm kindda liking the 2300mhz on the ram of the 9800GTX...

[Warboy]

Btw, VR-Zone has the new drivers for XP and Vista on their website for the GX2 and GTX, Driver Version 174.40 and 174.51 i think, Once someone mods the inf, I'm going to make a public news post.

Well specs are not everything you know. Look at the 9600. These cards will probably surprise everyone.

Well specs are not everything you know. Look at the 9600. These cards will probably surprise everyone.

Well, they sure surprised many with the sneaky "overclocking-via-the-PCIe-bus-without-reflecting-it-in-drivers-or-tools"-function it incorporated which caused many review cards to be unstable and fail even simple overclocks (since they were already overclocked by 10-15% depending on the current PCIe-clock). In essense they're shrunk, overclocked and very slightly tweaked 8600GTS's (or practically half a G92 8800GTS). If they hadn't cheated with that PCIe-bus clock trick the 9600GT would be a compelling mid-range card right below the 8800GT. As it is it feels shoddy to me. In fact, the whole 9-series feels kind of unnecessary since they're essentially G92's. They should've used a different nomenclature like 8900GT/GTS/GTX or something, not jumped to series-9 because they're not a generation ahead, just slight updates (shrinks, higher clocks) of G92's.
