Bottleneck 8800gts with 805D

[turbocuda]

Yea, I was greedy and got a 8800gts before upgrading to c2d....results...


3dmark 06
5859 at 2.66 and stock gts
7154 at 3.46 and stock gts...1300pts with just a .8 cpu rise....bottleneck
8107 at 3.80 and 640/960 gts.....c2d should pick me up 1500-2000pts.

Thoughts?

Don't worry 6300 c2d and gigabyte p965-ds3 should be here tuesday....

While I'm sure that the CPU is a bottleneck for the GPU, do you have the numbers for the SM2 and SM3 tests, to compare the actual GPU performance as the CPU speed increases?

 

[turbocuda]

No, because I haven't purchased the full version of 3dmark06...I plan on doing it soon though.

 

[turbocuda]

Just purchased the full version....ran at my typical 3.6 and 640/975

With stock 2.66 805d and 640/975 gts

decided to leave the gts where it was just to compare cpu speed.

thats definetly a bottleneck there...

with my e6600 @ stock and gts @ stock i would pull bout 8300 in 06... with the e6600 @ 3.0ghz (25% and with a 8% UNDERVOLT) and gts @ stock i gained about 600 pts... for 8900

 

[turbocuda]

Just tried to run 06 at 1680/1050 with aa at 4X to compare fps at a higher video resolution to see if I could get rid of some of the cpu bottleneck....but she locked up in the forest at the 640/975...I guess I need to turn her down a little...I usually game at 600/900 with no probs....I will mess with this some more tomorrow..kind of late now.

Have fun.

Try to lower the core a little, I was stable for most apps. at 660/2000, but for full stability I had lower it too 630/2000.
