EVGA e-GeForce 8800 GS 384 MB

[RyoBerlin]

hehe funny eVGA phone support sayed.. i should deactivate the onboard graphic... (HOW? there is no option for it LOL) and maybe its my RAM (yeah and the ram from my friends also or what )

i'll go now to the store (AGAIN...) and if i get no replacement or he's send the cart to eVGA by his own i'll send the card by myself to eVGA today.

 

[xu^]

i have the older G80 based 8800gts 320mb and it does not work on my Asrock 775 dualvsta

tbh seems like anything with a decent amount of power wont work on an Asrock board,may as well stick with AGP on it for all the good that PCI-E slot is on an Asrock.

Im buying a new board so i can accomodate my 8800,am selling the Asrock to a m8 (already warned him about it not liking newer gfx cards)

Ok was in the store ...again... he has testet the card for 1-2 hours.. i went back and he told me that ha don't see any green dots.. but 3DMark freezes after 45min.

He tryed it again... and 3DMark Freezes again after 45min.


so i get a new one because the old has the error "freezes in 3D Mark after 1hour and again after 15min"


The new one works fine (ok... shit overscan with DVI->HDMI output....and 1280x720 or 1920x1080)

with DVI to HDMI adaptors, i have some experience. Make sure you adjust settings on your TV, and try all HDMI ports - not all work with DVI adaptors. I've seen a fwe 1080p screens that didnt work on their default settings and had to be set to 'just scan' or '1:1' mode to get a clear image.

i have it...

i have to set the desktop to the resolution wich i want to use in the game. then i can in the settings change the overscan. This settings will be remembered for each resolution. so i can back to 1360x768 @ desktop and in game 1920x108 without overscan usein


Now i have a fine working 8800GS wich is 2-3 times faster then my HD 2600 XT Ultimate

the Nvidia has only one problem. DVI->HDMI @ POST&Boot Screen it flickers because its the wrong Frequency i think. So its better to use there DVI->VGA

Not sure what you mean there... desktop at 1360x768, and the games higher? what native res is your LCD.

Mine works fine there, to be honest. i get a nice stable image that looks perfectly fine. I was surprised cause its actually somewhat clear... i guess that depends on the TV.

in games higher because the games have not all 1360x768 ... so i have to use 1920x1080 because its the only sharp resolution (sharper then 1280x720 an in games near the sharpness o native resolution from 1360x768)


and yes.. works fine here too, under windows. but not under DOS or Post screen/System Boot.
Its a problem beetween card and LCD. the ATI cards works better over HDMI in the DOS or Post screen/System Boot. I have a LG 42LC51.
But this little problem is not so importent... how often will i use DOS or bee a longer time in the POST screen/Bios menü if so..then i can use VGA

Just trying to understand what you're doing, as i dont know everything about HDMI yet. You run the games at 1920x1080, and use the TV settings to scale them down?

 

[RyoBerlin]

some games 1920x1080 other (wich has the option for it) 1360x768 right

no scaling in the TV its 1:1 so the Graphic has the control over the picture.

whats your question? maybe send a PM because its too OT

 

[lilkiduno]

question

is this a good card to buy. i am not a computer genius. i am currently running a system off a MSI K9n Platinum mobo, with the AMD 6000+, 2 gigs of OCZ Platinum RAM with factory timing ( i think 4-4-4-5), EVGA 8600 GTS superclocked, Western Digital 160 GB SATA hard drive, OCZ CPU cooler. creative fatal1ly sound card the one with the box & remote. 500 watt power supply. i love the EVGA cards i just wanted to know if this was a steal for the 8800 GS at $120 or should io go to the 9600 GT for $160

How Bench u Crysis?

i have the Demo here and startet the GPU Bench with the bat file for it.

graphic set to high.
Vista 32bit. CPU C2D E4300, 2GB Ram 667Mhz
Frames, Time (ms), Min, Max, Avg
1963, 108757, 2, 25, 18.049

Averange 18fps... in the review over 33fps .. is my CPU so bad or what?

 

[RyoBerlin]

I tryed OC

but with the EVGA Tool its no problem to set the core over 700Mhz (without bios flash)!

But i see a test... a OC 8800 GS has in Crysis only 3fps more.. so it makes absolutely no sense to OC the card...

OC performance

Same here i have the sc edition card, and i'm able to push it so far i think its cause of the new drivers. I'm using Rivatuner, i think it can still go further.

 

[RyoBerlin]

btw. i can only use 680/985 (Core/Memory) with more as this i get errors in Testing with ATI-Tool

 

[21dd23]

Try downloading new drivers, and use Rivatuner

 

[RyoBerlin]

Hähh???

New Drivers??? i've the newest this is not a drive rproblem! hehe...

What should i do with rivatuner ???

 

[21dd23]

When u first open the program u should be on the main page. Click the little arrow button to the right of Drive settings n it shows a menu then click the video card. From there you will be able to overclock n change fan speeds

 

[RyoBerlin]

I have absolutely no problem to OC.... but i use the EVGA Tool

The Problem is.... if i go higher then my actually rates i get errors in testing with ATI-Tool ... maybe u should test for Errors too?!

 

[21dd23]

oo, well i didnt get any errors

 

[RyoBerlin]

So you can be glad

i get errors with more OC with these settings wich u can see in the pic below.

After 8s....


btw. You have the OC version i have only the standard version!

 

[candle_86]

look in the Nvidia section for the 8800GS thread started by me, all info you need is there for alot of stuff

 

[RyoBerlin]

all our older crysis scores were conducted at the wrong resolution and can not be compared. only gtx 280 and newer has correct crysis scores

Plastic film on cover

I bough this card and found that there is a plastic film over the fan cover. It is hardly noticeable. It seems to be there to give it a nice shine. But you can peel it off, and I would assume that would allow the card to run a smidge cooler.

i've seen that before, its on most of the cards. i guess its there to prevent damage but they never advise people to take it off (it was on my 8800GT and GTX stock coolers)
