My new toy

[Sydney]

So, I recieved sneakysnowmans 8800GT today, after having to go through tedious emails with the customs since it didn't have a receipt. Apparently they accepted the fact that it was used, and it was a gift, so I got it toll-free.

While this may only seem exciting to me and sneakysnowman and might not seem threadworthy, the main point of this thread is testing mismatched shader count under Linux. I had a 8800GTS earlier, which had 128 shaders, just like my 8800GTX. The 8800GT however, has 112 shaders, so I'm going to test the production on the cards with the new FahCore_11.exe on both the tested and working 180.44 drivers that are default in Ubuntu 9.04, and the new 195.17 drivers that can fold with the wrapper.

No noticable difference, I guess I just need to overclock the 8800GT.

/me is excited

Well, I did get it up to 5112 PPD with core at 700MHz and shader at a whopping 1900MHz, although I don't expect a 1900 shader to be quite stable. Well, we'll see.

 

[wingless]

Looking at your production, maybe I should have opted for the 8800GT as well. Nice results!

 

[harlam357]

Woot! Good looking stuff there Sydney... and a for your generous benefactor as well!

<- plus one for me

Any chance I can talk you into a write up on your findings and settings for the front page?

Man.. Sydney is gonna be a busy guy if you keep him working so hard.

What's with the MEGA quote deadly? As much as I like seeing HFM benchmark numbers... my scroll finger had to do a triple take just to get past the quoted text.

If I see something that looks front page worthy, I'm on it. Just like ... Ahem ... HFM ... Cough.

That mega quote is about the only reason that Opera Mini can get on my nerves. I never get to see everything in the code tags, and when I hit quote, it doesn't always show me everything in the tags. I do have to say that it is beyond faster than the BB browser. Now if only I could get some more time to post from my computer.
