1st Post Heres my SLI 7800GTX 512 meg cards benchies and Overclocks

Marcdaddy · Nov 12, 2005

Hi guys i usually read through the forums but ive never posted, anyway the drivers with these cards are the 81.89s they seem pretty stable for what there worth IQ is very good no lockups or hangs or crashes of anykind. Also when i detect Optimal Frequencies it goes to 603/1.77 gonna try to push it up higher. These crads really shine In games, the 3dnmarks dont do it really any justice, Playing bf2 at 1920X1440 with 4Xaa and 8XAnis with Multisampling is possible as well as COD2 with the textures set at EXTRA. I can post benchies and screens of pretty much anything just ask By the way all Games are being run on a FX-53 @ 2500 , 2 gigs of OCZ 2/3/2/5, Asus A8N-SLI DELUXE mobo, 81.89 Drivers, all settings at high quality ( except the 3dmark runs) Installing FEAR right now and gonna patch it.

Welcome to AT and thanks for the info

The forum code here is different though. You can just paste in the URL's and it will auto-create a link, but you cannot insert pics directly.

I think we're all interested in BF2, FEAR, COD2, etc

12,702 3DM05 eh? For some reason, I expected more.... Is it just me? (Probably )

Welcome Marc.

Could you post a picture of the box where it lists the clocks? thanks. :thumbsup:

Marcdaddy · Nov 12, 2005

Ya the 3dmark scores are kinda haywire, if i had a X2 in here it will jump a lot, these drivers are built outta someones toolshed i think lmao, When the official drivers come out i suppose that they will help a bit by the Cards outclass my XFX 7800GTX-OC ( 490/1300)sli setup i had.

Dainas · Nov 12, 2005

Yeah 12k seems way too low, a mildly overclock 256mb 7800GTX SLI setup can get around 14k. If you run 3Dmark05 again try turning off all AA and Anistropic filtering, Also setting drivers to high performance. This is the setting thats used as the defacto 3Dmark05 benching. If you are already doing this than you need to tweak or reinstall your drivers or it could be a glitch with the lastest drivers. Thanks for the screenshots and enjoy your monster cards!

edma2 · Nov 12, 2005

Have you tried benching a single card?
12k isn't much more than two regular 256mb gtxs, hell maybe 2 gts.

Marcdaddy · Nov 12, 2005

LOL i just noticed there isnt any clock values anywhere on the box, not even in the manuel. Maybe this was rushed to market, it kinda seems like it.

Interesting.

That means the other guy who got one was lying? He said that the clocks on the box were 550/1700.

Thanks for the info. :beer:

I think it's just the drivers. Should be different come Monday. I got 13,589 with 2 evga KO's @ 526/1350 and still 13k+ @ 490/1300. Ordered a pair of EVGA GTX 512MB's from Monarch this morning. Hmmm...not factory oc'ed but that shouldn't be a problem
Hope my Maze 4 blocks fit on these

So none of the ram is on the back of the card? I think Uber said there wasn't...

Your lucky man...can't wait to get mine.

Marcdaddy · Nov 12, 2005

Ya 1 card is getting around 9400, i noticed that soemtimes when i run it the FPS are sometimes completely different by 4 to 10 FPS in spots, it might be a driver but i got no complaints in games, like i said being able to increase screen rez upto 1920X1440 and keep AA and ANIS or only lower it slightly just OWNZ, and i couldnt not play COD2 with all textures set to EXTRA in 1600X1200 before it would stutter.
3Dmark 1 card.

You're running 1280x1024 desktop resolution on a 22" monitor? The horror.

Chacranajxy · Nov 12, 2005

Given how well the one card's doing even without new drivers, I think I'm definitely going to have to find some way to buy the 512 instead of the 256.

Piuc2020 · Nov 12, 2005

Awesome, mind posting a pic (more is always better though ) showing the cards themselves out of the PC and in the PC? (if it isn't much trouble). Also, would you mind posting pictures of in game F.E.A.R. screenshot.

And if you can, make them a lossless format (like BMP) so JPEG does not limit the image quality. xthost should be good enough.

And hey, do it only if you want but I'd love it if you did.

If the OP really wants to, it'd be cool to have the COD 2 shots and the Battlefield 2 shot posted as well... I've never seen those games look that good...

knifemyglitter · Nov 12, 2005

where did you get COD 2? also, can a gtx 256mb run COD2 with EXTRA texture settings, or only a 512mb?

Sentry2 · Nov 12, 2005

Do you see any ram chips on the back of the card?

edma2 · Nov 12, 2005

My 256 gtx is running COD2 with EXTRA texture 1280x1024, maxed out everything else, and I get 20-30 fps

Marcdaddy · Nov 12, 2005

Okay here are some screenshots of the Cards, as soon as FEAR is done Updating ill post some fresh Pics of BF2, COD2, and Fear all take some at different resolutions. Last night i did play BF2 at 1280X1024 but it was in 8XSLI and 16XANIS mode with everything maxxed and Multisampling on it ran pretty good.

By the way Just to let everyone know, I had to move over 2 of my SATA connectors cuz the card was physically in the way. I was extremely lucky that i didnt have to re-install windows i thought i was Fubarred last night these cards are monsters.

bjc112 · Nov 12, 2005
