6800GS 3d05 Results! Looking Good!

**Impaqt** · 11-11-2005, 10:05 AM

Got my 6800GS Yesterday. XFX version. Factory Overclocked to 485/1100. Lets see what its got.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814150118

Test System:
DFI Ultra-D (Modded to SLI) 0704-OCZ Bios
2x512 OCZ Gold BH-5
Opteron 144 @ 2.8Ghz (311x9)
XFX 6800GS
XClio 450Watt PS

Stock Clocks Out of the Box. 81.85 Offical Driver. WAY Better than any of the Stock EVGA's didinthe reviews. But it is Stock Overclocked. So I expected this.

After that I loaded COolbits and let the Driver find My "Optimal Settings" 521/1.17 Interesting. WAY higher than I thought the Core would go, but Much lower on the memory. I got a few artifacts here.

So I started playing with the settings a bit to see where I could go..... Memory scaled a LOT more and I had to back the core down to 509 to get the artifacts all cleared up. 509/1.30Ghz!

Then I Pulled the card. Put AS5 on the Core, left the factory air deflector off and positioned a 92mm Sanyo under the heatsink and say how far I could push it. Located the Pre-release 81.89 NVidia Drivers and loaded those up as well. Got a few artifacts here, but an awesome run. Just one evening of testing and I pulled a higher score than any of the 255 6800GT's in our list here on the forum! THis card ROCKS!
529/1.36Ghz!

THe Stock XFX Bios runs 1.37v to the Core in 3d Performance mode. I might bump it up to 1.4 to see if I can clear the artifacting up a bit. The 6800GS is definatly the real deal. Gonna order a second next week for som SLI Action.

looking good so far.... any chance of getting more pipes on these cards?

**Impaqt** · 11-11-2005, 10:13 AM

RivaTUner reports no Masked Pipes or Shaders.

**HousERaT** · 11-11-2005, 10:16 AM

well that settles that....... good luck with the overclock though...... you gonna change the cooling or voltmod the card?

**Impaqt** · 11-11-2005, 10:19 AM

GOtta do some measuring on the cooling. DOnt know if 2 will fit with a SIlencer or Zalman on em inthe DFI Ultra-D.

Pretty sure I'll try taking it up to 1.4-1.42 onthe GPU COre. Memory seeems awesome already.

**DilTech** · 11-11-2005, 10:23 AM

Of course there's no extra pipes, it's based off the 110nm NV42 core.

The NV42 core only has 12 pipes in the first place, incase any of you didn't know that. It's based off the NV41, which was a PCI-E specific 6800nu chip. There was only 12 pipes and 5 vertex shaders hardware wise on the NV41, which is why there was no way of unlocking the PCI-E 6800nu's.

Damn....that thing beats my 6800GT to death

Nice clocks, and thanks for the sharing....I'm sure you are gonna convince quite alot of people to get one....

Those clocks are insane btw...very nice

**DilTech** · 11-11-2005, 10:44 AM

I'm tempted to buy one for my secondary rig to be honest...

**Cybercat** · 11-11-2005, 11:00 AM

If you're up for it, how about some hard mods?

guide

looks good so far, by the way!

**Impaqt** · 11-11-2005, 11:15 AM

Excellent guide. I'll be sure to get the ole' No. 2 out when I get home.

Pretty stange 3dmark05 scores there though. I already crushed those scores with significantly lower clocks.

**Sentential** · 11-11-2005, 11:19 AM

Wow... very impressive

**Cybercat** · 11-11-2005, 11:26 AM

Eh, could have been the CPU, drivers, or whatnot. You're scoring higher so who cares. You win.

**mnewxcv** · 11-11-2005, 12:08 PM

ghetto mod the power connector to get a higher oc

**Cpt Twitchy** · 11-11-2005, 12:17 PM

Sweet card. What do you think it can do on NV5 or water?

**igor0203** · 11-11-2005, 02:45 PM

wow, that card looks awesome! it's even better than my ex 6800GT...

**zakelwe** · 11-11-2005, 03:04 PM

Nice work ..can you post some 03 scores so I can compare to my Asus 6800 GE with 16 pipes ?

Regards
Andy

**Impaqt** · 11-11-2005, 03:16 PM

I'll Load up 03 and AQ3 this weekend and see what she does.

MNEWXCV: What do you mean by "ghetto mod the power connector to get a higher oc"

**perkam** · 11-11-2005, 04:27 PM

Still a very impressive card. SLI-Enabled I believe ?

**mnewxcv** · 11-11-2005, 04:32 PM

idk if it can be done on pci-e cards now that i think of it...but someone ghetto modded a 6800gt agp, so that 2 molex lines could go into the single molex connector on the card...giving it the same volts, but more amps...resulting in higher stability...i.e.- higher oc.

**Impaqt** · 11-11-2005, 06:54 PM

SOme more synthetic and semiSynthetic benches for your folks. AQ3 has me completely Impressed!

STOCK 485/1100 Aquamark3

OVERLOCKED 529/1360

3d03
STOCK 485/1100

And Overclocked 509/1300

DId I mention that I love this card?

**Impaqt** · 11-11-2005, 07:32 PM

I DOnt have any game son this rig right now so I found a Gunmetal Demo/Benchmark Program....

**Punisher!** · 11-12-2005, 01:48 AM

Very nice card! You can easilly own my 6800 16/6 0.11nm!

And very nice the price too... I paid mine 245â‚¬ (all inclusive) few months ago.

**Impaqt** · 11-12-2005, 10:48 PM

Didnt get a chance to pencil mod the volts today, hopefully tomorrow. But I went ahead and ordered a Second card tonight. GOnna run some SLI Action for a while.... I'm hoping for some 11k+ 3d05 runs.

**corvus_corax** · 11-12-2005, 11:26 PM

Sweet clocks. Great card

**-R@mi-** · 11-13-2005, 04:18 AM
