Having used both GX2 and X1900XTX both fairly have similar IQ when gaming aside from the fact that ATI can do HDR+AA in more games than nvidia can, but other difference like AF doesnt matter if your actually gaming and not comparing screenshots..
Just a little update my Inno3D 7900GT modded at 1.5v 650/800 with VF900Cu ( full loads at 70C ) is still alive and kicking since July 04 ,2006 only ran it for 1 week with stock and volt modded it after.It still runs fine until now i hope it will never break down..
I didnt read the entire thread but WOW!!!!!! IMPRESSIVE WORK!!
question!
so those tubes are like the combined 12volt rails of the entire PSU ? how is it distributed?
is there still a spec of visible jaggies on 16x AA ?
can i request screenshots of 16x and 32x AA, use a compression method that doesnt kill the IQ that much
For a quick way in, Run ATI Tool and let it find your max core first, after it find it stick to that value and maybe lower it by 5Mhz and test it in artifact tester for about an hour then fireup some games.. also try 3dmark06 deepfreeze test at 1600x1200 16XAF and FP forced to ON, try to spot...
If you dont mind the noise just set the fan to activate at fastest when it reaches 3C outside of its idle temps, as those chips can really get hot and cooling them properly would exted it lifetime =D
People saying that they dont RMA the hardware they break during overclocking are Hypocrits!
nothing personal against you,just a comment on the statement.
Last time i talked to nvidia engineers they said it has a nuclear reactor and a complete coolant set for it, it would run all the games at 190000x1200000x1024 with 50,000x AA and 400,000 AF
but really no OFFICAL specs or power usage numbers have been released from nvidia. dont trust...
those are just average claims, not the minimum values. So your card falls under bellow average in terms of overclocking. part of overclocking is luck of the draw, my card at 1.55v only does 680 max so i just run it at 650.
with stock volts using vf900Cu and stock speeds 450core i get about 46c idle and 56c load, how with 1.55v i get 51c idle and 70~71c full load. so i guess its pretty normal for those temps. these cards can operate at 85c w/o problems anyway.. i did a temp test on my card and it takes me 92c b4 i...
Never heard of inno3d,palat and galaxy 7900GT's die yet
so which leads me to believe that the makers for evga/bfg and xfx is different from the other brands
Review is a bit biased, they didnt even show how much performance of 7900GT gets when it clocked at 650/800 ( which is a common achievable speeds at 1.40v avg )
The way i understand it is that you need to have the eVGA PCB rev tha has the voltage switching hardware installed ( as shown on the PCB ) if you have that lind of board then you can edit the volts via bios.. or maybe we can buy those resistors in local hardwares and solder it ourselves?
w/o a processor?
coz this wiz guy who does HD repair and data recovery and basic motherboard ports and capacitor repairs claims that he can FULLY stress test a motherboard w/o ANY processor installed.. im like WTF are you smoking!
or am i mistaken ??
Another user ( refer to the same thread above ) got a busted evga 7900GTX ( new PCB/Mem rev ) die-out on him.. he posted on the same thread. and eVGA forums seems to have an increased number of the new rev cards still dying..
Ok heres something interesting.. i ran the fear benchmark and moved the mouse around randomly ( using the G7 ) after that reboot and removed the G7 on my system and installed my old MX500 and ran the benchmark again with moving the mouse around.. no performance difference.. i know theres no...
I just noticed now my Inno3D 7900GT emmits a "Fan" like noise when its running in 3d.. its not very audible and i need my ears placed very near the card and it sounds like a spinning fan... its not the cooler unit coz im running a zalman VF900Cu and i tried to set the fanspeed on low and turn...
But is it really related to the hardware? for all we know is the USB port that needs more refinement.. since the mice/keyboard only sends the input data.
OMG
i just tried that now and waving around my G7 makes it go to 11~21% WTF!
and my old corded MX300 is at 4~9%
would it be possible to offload this task to the 2nd core on dual core systems?
