7800GT 3DMARK05 Scores

[Skyhanger]

eVGA has the geometry clock set 40MHz higher than the rest of the other clocks when you run an 3d App.
At the stock clock speed of 445MHz/1.07GHz, the geometry clock will show as 485MHz.

If you run rivatuner, you can see each individual clock in your GPU card.

Would 2 GB of ram increase my score by 1000?

interesting, but for me, I use an Asus board =/

edit: confirmed my geometry clock is also 40MHz more like the EVGA

That is why i Love EVGA they make great products which no other company can macth.

 

[Topweasel]

Same thing happens on all 7800s for example my BFG 7800GTX OC is detected at 501 when running intensive 3d apps.

 

[kamranziadar]

So looks like every company has some AI overclocking in their cards.

 

[Topweasel]

Its not overclocking, their is a geometry engine that is running 40MHz higher then the rest of the core at any speed. If you look at Riva tuner and compare those speeds with what coolbits has set, only on 2d apps does that 40MHz not appear. For Example MSI sells default GTXs only yet thiers will show up as 463 or so. Try to find a single GTX bench mark at 430 I bet you can't find it.

So you are saying if i keep my GPU at 460 under load it will be at 500mhz. But did you also noticed that at idle core clocks at 275mhz, and it jumps back to 445 when you play any game.

 

[Topweasel]

Kind of, The main part of the GPU is clocked at 460 but core speed reading programs like 3dmark and Rivatuner are over writed by the part of the Core that is running faster. Apperently this is the geometry unit. My vid card does this

275 (both coolbits and riva see the same thing) at Idle (which newer driver set this to 8MHz and I need to change that), 435 or 445 I forget which at lite 3D (which coolbits has it set at, but riva tuner sees it at 475) and 460 at load (coolbits says 460, but riva tuner and 3dmark see it at 501).

So While Riva tuner says 501 only portion of your GPU is at that the rest is at 460.

 

[kamranziadar]

I think it is a bug or something in 3DMARK05 they are not ready for this new wave of video cards.

 

[Topweasel]

Its not just 3DMark. All GPU core speed monitoring software will show the same thing. The only thing that refers to the actual core speed is the overclocking utility like Coolbits (which is integrated into the driver) again I get the same 501 in both RivaTuner and 3dmark.

I got 7995 on 3DMark 05, only need 5 more to break 8K.

Not sure why though, I have my 7800GT OC'ed to 485MHz, but 3DMark 05 says I have it at 524...hmm

Anyway, you can check it Here

Read my earlier Posts, You are clocked at 485, 3dmark is not bugged. Nothing needs to be fixed. It is normal.

Damn man you have 2GIG of Ram

EVGA 7800 GT's have the geometric clock set to 40mhz. Running 3D apps increases the GPU by 40mhz. There is no bug in 3dmark05... your GPU is whatever it reads.

This isnt necessarily a good thing on EVGA's part because a lot of people (including me) get artifacts because our cards can't handle the extra 40mhz. EVGA released a BIOS to remove the geometric delta clock.

AFAIK, BFG or any other manufacturer have the geometric delta clock set to 0.

anyway, i got 7750.

EVGA 7800 GT @ 460/1200 (no 40mhz delta clock)

rahzel, you should download Nibitor and play with the geometric clock increase. I'm using a customized version of the Rev. 2 BIOS with a 30 Mhz delta. I tried a 50 Mhz delta but didn't fare to te well. LOL.

Socket 754 and PCIe does not make sense to me. When did a motherboard for socket 754 who also support PCIe

Wow, those are really good scores... I have a 7800gtx and stock it was 7400, overclocked to 500/1300 its 8300. Those 7800gt's are pretty damn close. Damn, something must be up with my system?

The 7800GT is a very good value.

 

[omniphil]

78.01 drivers. hmmm, proabably my sucky mobo (asrock dual939) .


Hmmm, maybe not tho... Cause if I overclock the cpu/ram, 3dmark05 dosent change at all, but if I overclock the vid card it changes significantly. So i would assume my system is limited my the video card at this point...
