My mini 8800gt review

[Vrykyl]

Ok folks, its possibly a bit low end for here, but iv been playing with an 8800gt today, and iv posted a quick write up here -

*snip*

I cant try and overclock it, its not mine and the owner doesnt want to, and I know the deliberate cpu/ram system clocks I used are low for here, but i thought maybe some of you might find it helpful?

theres problems with DOA and fast failure??!?

Thats news to me :S

Nice review, and nice numbers too

yup, quite a lot of folks I know who have actually managed to get an 8800gt have had them turn up doa or artifacting at stock speeds. Cant remember which etailer it was, but one of them was saying of all the gt units theyve had, just under 20% of stock has been returned as faulty :/

Nice little dust up there mate seems the mighty current 640mb gts just got pwnd by a cheaper variant.

06 scores are especially imressive - can you use rivatuner to up the shader clocks on ure GTS to around the 1575 mark to see if that closes the gap?

I only ask coz the shader clocks on the GT are so high already.

The 7900GT had that problem, but from what I can tell, not enough GTs have been available for any real patterns to be noticed? :?

Mav, just for you matey I'v just rerun all tests on my 8800gts,but with clock speeds boosted to exactly match those of the 8800gt.

So my 640mb 8800gts was overclocked to: 660mhz core, 900mhz memory, 1620mhz shader. 1 hour atitool artifact free

So if i copy and paste my 8800gt scores but update the 8800gts compartive numbers we get:

Crysis

640mb 8800gts Overclocked - Average fps: 24.72

512mb 8800gt - Factory OC - Average fps: 26.42

World In Conflict -

640mb 8800gts Overclocked - Min 23fps, Max 92fps, Average 43fps

512mb 8800gt - Factory OC - - Min 26fps, Max 96fps, Average 47fps

Aquamark - default settings.

640mb 8800gts Overclocked- 170,024

512mb 8800gt - Factory OC- 165,333

3dMark 2005 - default settings.

640mb 8800gts Overclocked- 18,214

512mb 8800gt - Factory OC - 18,795

3dMark 2006 - default settings.

640mb 8800gts Overclocked- 12,904

512mb 8800gt - Factory OC - 13,493

So at same clock speeds its simply the extra pipelines giving a little extra boost to the 8800gt....

For that OC i turned the gts fan to 100% - load temps of 75*c when clocked

LOL, was the first time I had ever overclocked the gts since new, just whacked the rivatuner sliders up to gt speed and fired up atitool

 

[advancedkill]

The problem is that the fan does not spin enough: 29% at 80 degrees C. I think that's why they break (put it up to 100% and the card never gets above 65 degrees)

 

[Vrykyl]

yup....the heatsink/fan on the 8800gt is a big POS....imo yes the card is only £160...but add another £30+ for a heatsink that'l actually keep it alive

 

[Hatman]

The DOA problem is due to crappy foxconn and their half-rate cards. Idk when the flextronics cards are out maybe they are the thousands that are coming into stock on the 16th, yep thats tomorow.

HR-03GT ftw.
