The interesting part of this will be whether or not an OC'd GTS can really match a GTX - a 7900GT could match a 7900GTX it could, since they were basically the same card, but the GTS lacks more than just clockspeed.

That has me bugged as well.. How can a card that has 32 less stream processors, 64 less bus bits, 4 less rops, etc etc perform the same with a slight overclock?
Yeah, and that game still wants more:Originally posted by: Cookie Monster
After seeing the GTX in action, im saving a few more bucks for that 8800GTX. Will take time, but in the end, it will all be worth the wait and effort.
God.. im still blown away by those benchmarks..
Its like the new R300.
edit - 8800GTX SLi, literally kills anything on the market. We are talking about playing oblivion using maxed out sliders, 2560x1600 4xAA (maybe 8 or 16 xCSAA), 16xAF with playable fps.. :Q
The 8800 GTX SLI is still the bottleneck in this game at resolutions above 1280x1024, showing just how demanding Oblivion is when it comes to graphics cards.

Anyone know where the correct version of nTune is to OC these cards...? When you click on the 'Monitor Temperature' button, you get a pop-up that says that this is a performance tuning feature, would you like to download nTune... If you click yes, it opens a browser to an nTune download page, but after you install nTune you still don't get any gpu oc'ing options... It's just like the one for nForce... I'm thinking it's an old version.

MSI 8800 GTX - 742/2000 - it just needed a small fan on top of the card - Without additional cooling - 718/2000.

Is there something special about that MSI board, or simply the fact that you've run a little more air over it?
Edit: Well since you're still hitting 718 with no additional cooling... cherry-picked?

I also have a NV engineering sample but it is special.
