Memory on 8800GTS 512

[Romebaby]

Is there a utility that tells what kind of ram (mfg) is on the card? I just got a BFG 8800GTS 512 and don't really want to take the HS off. Thanks!

no there's no program or utility that tells you that/

Rattle, is that the same BFG card from Newegg that you made me buy as well?

If so how far have it overclocked it thus far?

If you take the cooler off and remove the thermal pads, you can see

yes same newegg deal for 225 shipped after $30MIR

these are 24/7 clocks on stock cooler with rivatuner dynamic fan speed, 50% low at 45c and gradually increases to 100% at 57c

card rarely goes over 56c though gaming.

I got the same card, same place, same deal.

Core seemes to max at 774, but the mem won't stop. I had it around 1150 with no errors, got scared and stopped. Pretty safe to say it's Samsung I think, just wanted to make sure.

Was this card supposed to come with the SLI bridge?

 

[Rattle]

no nvidia cards dont come with sli bridges

the nvidia sli mobos come with the bridges

Thanks for the clocks, I still need to see what mine will do. However even at stock this card is incredible.

i can play with my mem all the way to 1175 but its not game stable without a lock up at over 1135 as far as I know. so I figure 1100 is a good place to sit.

I ran a bench on '06 @ 750 1100 and only went from 11472 to 11719 (e6700 stock). That's a descent OC with not much improvement. I'll have to see if gameplay improves much, otherwise stock OC clocks for me.

 

[Rattle]

depends on what you got behind it for a cpu and speed.

I should be around 14k but i havnt benched this card yet, I scored 13,500 with a 8800GT though.

OC your CPU, and you'll see a more pronounced difference. Your getting bottle-necked.

Edit: Also try running '06 at a higher rez if you have the Pro version. If not try an actual game benchmark at a decent rez like Crysis, or FEAR. You'll see a difference!

I can't OC cpu, unless someone knows an unlocked bios for an XPS410. I picked this up about 8 months ago, back when the 6700 was $500 and ram wasn't so cheap, for about $900 loaded.

I've been buying Dell crap the last few years (cheap prices, deduct for business expenses). I need to build a rig, there's too many cpu cycles going to waste.

pad-mod it!
