8800GTS 320

trickson · 10-07-07, 04:39 PM

Just bought this Video card today (YES!) . it is a PNY and would like to know with all the new drivers and all I want to OC the card (If passable ) .
My question is this I have had the 91.47 Nivdea drivers for as long as I can remember and well I don't know how to OC this video card not to mention Ntune is a total loss on me ATT.
Is there some kind of way to have this oc by detecting the optimal settings on it's own ?

dont use ntune its garbage

this is what you want
http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=163

as far as drivers are concerned this is what you want

xp 32bit
http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_163.71.html

xp 64bit
http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp64_163.71.html

vista 32bit and 64bit
http://www.nzone.com/object/nzone_do...etadriver.html

ditch your old driver first, highly recommended to get one of the new drivers here for whichever OS your on and then grab rivatuner 2.05, thru guru3d there's a faq and guide for how to use it.

Thank you I still don't know really how to do this but so far I have broken the 10K mark in 3dmark06 and well I am really happy right now !

I have the card OC'ed (not all that much) to 575 GPU Core 805 RAM .

Rattle · 10-07-07, 06:11 PM

your welcome !
looks like your rig is nice and OC'd
you've done well so far !

these cards usually dont hit a barrier till around 625/950, and those are the worse cards I have seen.

WOW maybe I will try that then .
Sweet!!

Rattle · 10-07-07, 06:16 PM

a little advice, using rivatuner turn up your fanspeed on the card. I like 85% because its quieter than 100 but it knocks off quite a few degress off idle and load temps.

Hazaro · 10-07-07, 06:26 PM

I had some fan issues with that, so I did driver level over clocking, and then manually set the value for minimum fan speed to 100%. Eh >_>

Getting 11,593 on my 8800GTS 320MB here

E6600 @ 3.4Ghz.

What core revision is it? A3's beat the crap out of A2's.

trickson · 10-07-07, 06:29 PM

I do not know what core revision it is .

Rattle · 10-07-07, 06:30 PM

the only cards that come with A3's are the ultras and the ACS3 cards
rivatuner will tell you though should see A2 320mb

Well one thing I have found is that there are some more clocks according to your post I haven't a clue as to where thies said clocks are . all I have is core and ram !
I am still on win XP and I really would like to see clocks that high but I really dought this card will go any higher than what I have now . 590/805 is the best I can do so far .
I am not all that good at ocing my video card so if you all have an easy safe way let me know ok . thanks .
any way with said speeds got this to show off !

Would really love to see it go to 11k - 12k but I think that I am not that good at all this .

Hazaro · 10-07-07, 08:26 PM

The middle clock is the shader clock

Download GPU-Z and start using RivaTuner to overclock, it's a lot better.

trickson · 10-07-07, 08:34 PM

OK I did this now what ?

Hazaro · 10-07-07, 08:38 PM

Well first thing I would do is set up the fan to run at 100%, then take a look at the monitoring stuff.

http://home.comcast.net/~msl2/RivaTu...k%20speeds.htm

Just keep bumping up the speeds until something dies! Make sure to test this with a 3D application like RTHDRIBL or ATiTool's fuzzy cube thing. I used Crysis as my test, since it demands more than anything else I can throw at it.

I get idle temp of 60C and 72C under 3DMark06

trickson · 10-07-07, 09:17 PM

Well any thing past 805 on the RAM and 3Dmark06 freezes up during the first test !
I have 590/805 and well that would be nice but most are getting way faster on the ram and core than I can .
I guess I have a non over clocker is all .

Hazaro · 10-07-07, 09:45 PM

What temps and what is the fan % duty cycle, and RPM at?

You should be getting way more than that. I benched at 999 memory, when I can only game at 945.

Rattle · 10-07-07, 11:06 PM

that doesnt sound right, i never seen one that didnt do 925 at least.

Well I just don't know why but I can not get this card to OC worth crap!
Is there some thing that I am missing ? should I reinstall windows just to make it a clean install ? or take out the drivers then reinstall them ? I just don't know ..

chevro1et · 10-08-07, 07:48 PM

Which pci-e slot are you running the card in?
Are you running the card on a dedicated psu rail, and does it have the adequate amps for that card?
Never hurts to try a driver uninstall/ safe mode driver cleaner/ driver re-install though...
