9800GTX 3dmark testing.

9800GTX 3dmark testing - Updated, new drivers

Victor

benches the new GTX using both dual core Wolfdale and quad core Yorkfield.

Clock for clock it is the same as the GTS, but due to better power/caps etc clocks higher.

Quad core 3dm06

At high res with AA/AF it will be interesting to see how the new GTX fairs against the old. Something tells me the 256 mem bus will be a problem...

Edit: THe power of the 9800GTX begining to show? Victor got his hands on new drivers 174.4, scores have gone up a fair amount!

New scores

Nice!

2160 for shader clock is pretty serious. Hopefully GX2 can reach close to those numbers!

How is this card nice!? An OC'd 8800GTS rebranded with a 256 mem bus and fook all else...

I want to see some fraps RL gaming before I bash the card though...

 

[Hatman]

Maybe not be nice for someone who already bought a 8800GTS512 but with tri-sli and better oc'ing it probably will be the card of choice in the future.

 

[Rastalovich]

lmao unless they remake them to run @ 850mhz as stock !

sheesh.

Several months back, I would have thought the performance woulda been 16/17k 3dmark06 - stock.

Oc to 19k ? hmmm

Gotta be something about the card that puts it above it`s relatives. ?!?!?

 

[Mr. Smith]

Well, new drivers, better scores but cores @ 900mhz!!! See OP.

 

[kataras]

sorry for hijacking the thread... but tbh ddr3 is a fuking joke...

at these timings i can get my crucial ballistix ddr2 to run at 4-3-3-9 at 450mhz (900 effective), i mean wtf is the point of ddr3? the guy probably lost 1000 marks for using these timings.

anyway, nice to see gpu hitting 900mhz

No way man! He is running @ 1800mhz effective, look... You'd be ~9 his ram ~6.5, i.e faster/better!

Back to the gpu, I want to see RL stuff with more attainable OC's!

 

[Rastalovich]

Why hasn`t he run 06 @ 900mhz ?

 

[Mr. Smith]

Why hasn`t he run 06 @ 900mhz ?

I think he has done a volt mod, still on air but that let him get an extra 50mhz...

ahh my bad, thought cpu-z shows effective speed, damn it makes sense now. should have gathered that from multiplier 1:2 :crazy:

lol thats cool man, but that chart is damn useful when figuring out which settings are best - freq vs lat...

Oh, Rast - 06 not updated because the new drivers didn't change his scores. I really hope RL perf is good or I'm stuck with the X2 for a while. Don't get me wrong it's good but I want a card that blows me (away).

As the 790i looks pretty hot I'm almost sold on the idea of a sli rig... But the gpu's look weak atm...

Well supposedly the 9800GTX is going to be around 8800GTS 512 price OC quite a bit more so, who knows...

 

[Mr. Smith]

Yeah saw that too...

 

[Bungral]

lol look at crysis still struggling

Still if that price is true then thats not bad at all!! I'll be having 1 maybe 2 of them in the states!

 

[Hatman]

That SLI scaling on crysis is pretty damn good. Doesnt say what settings they used though.

 

[Rastalovich]

Yeah I think the whole article was leaning towards nVidia talking people into buying a 2nd graphics card as opposed to buying a qx9650 as an upgrade. Bit unrealistic. Don`t think they considered a Q6600 being cheaper than a GTX.

We found out why it takes all the power it does yet in terms of its performance ?

 

[Mr. Smith]

Review, no AA though :eh:
