8800GT Official Reviews

[Eddie3dfx]

Your poor gpus are being held back by the corsair 520

This is my score with an x3210 now clocked back at 3500 thanks to gigabytes $139 p35 inte motherboard

Single Gt 15447

The proper score for you should be very high 18's to 20k

GoldenTiger, I had the same exact problem with 2 8800gts card only scoring 14,300 when one would score 12900
Games would sometimes have high fps and sometimes not. Once I switched from the corsair 520 to the 700watt gamestream, the problems went away.

I unplugged an optical and HDD to see if the score would budge, but nothing happened... so while that's a (small) amount of evidence the PSU's enough, I'm not quite convinced it's not the PSU causing the problem. Because of that, I think I will be ordering a new PSU this weekend... I actually found an "inexpensive" PSU that was reviewed nicely: newegg's housebrand, "Rosewill" 750w, for $125 shipped. I may go with that, but I'm gonna go check the price on the PSU you're using. Gamestream = OCZ, correct?

Here's the one I am looking at:

Jonnyguru, among the major sites, has a good review of it.


EDIT: Popped timings down to 5-5-5 1T, and score went up to 15971... at least it's something :p... gonna look around at PSU's and then order one, I'm pretty convinced it's the PSU causing the problem.

afaik SLI works poorly atm .... with Q6600 @ 3.5GHz , DDR2 900 my 24/7 clocks, and with GT SLI i got ~ 16.5k .... forgot the card was oced or not

many with a Q6600 @ 3.6GHz , single GT oced easily scores 15k .... so yeah SLI does work, just not very well ....

anway i was playing crysis , dunno what happened but my temp tops @ 48C.. wow thermalright HR 03 regular is really good ... i dont think ill water cool these ... i guess room temp is a bit lower in the morning, and heats up in the afternoon

169.04 here... half wondering if SLI isn't kicking in correctly, except when I disable it, I score around 13.5k, so I know it's kicking in somewhat . Maybe there's a BIOS setting I needed to change that I didn't or something? I'm on an eVGA NF68-A1 680i SLI board. Also, is the score you have there a single card?
