I realised the need for a Clubhouse for Nvidia Videocard Users for troubleshooting and new product releases etc.

I'm not a fanboi or anything, just see the need.

Let me start out by saying i own a 7900GS, keep it mostly regular but overclock it to go bench.

Members who want to join please submit a GPU-Z link, which is available here (http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/811/TechPowerUp_GPU-Z_v0.0.9.html). Please provide as much info as possible about your card (brand, clocks (stock and bench), memory, cooler). If you would like to include an image you can as well. If any one of you guys are running non proprietary drivers could you please state which one and which version and how you found it.

revision one of the club sig is here (http://i184.photobucket.com/albums/x278/jrracinfan/nvidiasigbar.jpg)

Happy nVidia owner here too. Geforce 2, Geforce 4 MX440, Geforce 4 ti4200, and now a Geforce 7600GS.

I have owned a few ATi cards in the past and they all died within a year.

PS: I should make a nvidia owners sigpic. hmmm ....

Extras of which: HDR, Intellisample 4.0, UltraShadow II, PureVideo, CineFX 4.0, PowerMizer 6.0, Transparency Antialiasing. I know I can get some serious stuff after clocking this baby...I don't have the machine at the moment...had to ship it back to AlienWare for some fixing..turned out to be faulty so more details to come :)

:respect:I got now what appears to be a very rare Gainward Bliss 7800GS+ 512 Special Edition Golden Sample Go's Like Hell http://www.mwave.com.au/newAU/mwaveAU/productdetail.asp?SKU=42020665
It's got 20, 20, and 7 pipes and I got my '06{4326} bench to run thru at 585/1600
I know it's not a great score, but this thing has got some real power hiding inside, 8xAA and 16xAF, X-HD, UltraShadow II Technology, CineFX 4.0, IntelliSample 4.0, "The fourth-generation Intellisample technology introduces two new antialiasing modes—transparency adaptive supersampling and transparency adaptive multisampling—which increase the quality and performance of antialiasing." demo's are really cool!
I like the sig banner, but it is somewhat hard to read the smaller text.
Any way from what I've found this is like a Rev. 3 of that line.
I started out back in the early 90's with Matrox, had a G400, a Mellinium and added a M3D daughter card with an xtra memory pack installed to it.
Then had 2-3 Creative Labs Nv cards, one of which I still have as a backup a Ti4200.
Tried a Gainward FX5200, but it didn't have VIVO, so I return'd it.
My favorite was a Leadtek/Winfast A380 VIVo, man that thing was the shit, but a faulty fan in a PSU killed it, and my previous AI-7
The previous leader to this Bliss is a BFG 7800GS OC, clocks 500/1500 maxed out features AA,AF ect. had 3rd place in 7800 class ::

Compared to the Bliss maxed out:

I've almost always had an Nvidia card. I remember having an old Geforce 5200FX, a GeForce 6800XT, and then a (malfunctioning) x1800XL (ATi), and now this 8500GT. The performance of this card is roughly equivilent to the 6800XT.

On notebook systems I could add a 7950 GTX (single) is easily better than any 8 series in SLI up to 8700M GT in SLI. The 8700M GT SLI is only better than the 7950 GTX (single) at marks on 3dMark06 but when a 8700M GT card is single it loses more than have the points.

The only card that will be better is supposed to be any card in the 8800 range of which I haven't found any benchmarks yet. A 7950 GTX SLI config I imagine woulc be just amazing. 1 card gives 44.1GB/s.

I couldn't tell about clocking a newer card but from my old clocking of the MX440 I squeezed out 4GB/s total out of the standard 2.4GB/s. My 7950GTX as stated is not here as all the notebook is for fixing back at the factory. But I do think if you could possibly clock it you would get a little more speeds out of it. Even a 4-5GB/s boost would make a difference.

As for that I see the only benefit of a low 8xxx card would be only DX10 compared to 7xxx cards? Unless we're talking about 8800GTS/GTX.

Well, my uncle wanted me to get the 8500 because it's DX10, heh. I would have got a 7600 but the 8500 > 7600.

The 8500 isn't so bad, actually. 667/433 from 500/333 :) I didn't push the shaders much though, they have stability issues at higher speeds...

I did see a static 35fps on lost planet at everything max with vsync off on the 7950GTX running 1440x900 stable :P but we're speaking last of the 7 series...which still does beat anything up to 8700M GT unless they're in SLI.

Well since you're board does support the 8500 maybe you could wait for the 9xxx and get 8800GT/GTS/GTX when the prices will drop?

I know what you mean about upgrading and stuff bro. Till I ordered the notebook I was still running on MX440 ..and I'm doing it right now and it does suit what I need it to do although it's now outdated by a long long time. I still played NFS: Most Wanted very fine on this card so I didn't even care complain about it when newer games came out. That time I just got myself a PSP gave me gaming till I got this. So back to PC gaming now.

Although I might add the PSP disappointed me in performance I managed to overclock that too. Nice ways seeing everything is overclockable now. Might try to overclock my microwave oven to get better timing for instant cooking eh? :P

Yeah it was my own question. Seems like that card won't give out that much bandwidth. It does go further in detail though as it is DX10 but won't hold the power for it. My GO 7950 GTX does 44.8GB/s as stock.

True about the DDR. I didn't quite consider that, even it it were 256-bit ddr2 it would still make a considerable difference I believe.

Would anyone give us some clocking details on an 8800GTX? Would be sweet eh? 384-bit beast. My friend owns one and he can clock it well getting the core well over 1000MHz.

As for the 7900 at stock I could guess as it is in my range it will probably do around 40-41GB/s and I might add to that the clocking on it is somewhat amazing. Congrats on that.

Supposedely on this benchmark list here ( http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Graphics-Cards-Benchmark-List.844.0.html ) you could see the stock benchmarks on GO 7950 GTX but I'll be sure to run the tests myself when the time is come. I don't really like to rely on other sources seeing they would be running different specs. But for now we could say I'm similarly around there.

The C2D comes later on sometime beginning next year. I will probably hold off on a new motherboard at that time cause I saw the e8x00's. They look very promising. 6mb cache 2.6-3.0Ghz 1333FSB. If I do hold off I might as well just wait even longer to get more ram while im at it.

I know it's bad to play the waiting game but I am happy with what I currently have and that is all that really matters though, right?

Although, I do need a new case before anything else.

7950gtx the notbook card? cause i dont think they made a destop one tested them in sli on my friends alienware. there good i would wait they have 8700m gt in sli and as we discussed the 8800s maybe some day and if they do you could put those in sli i would wait

N-Gen
Nov 2, 2007, 01:20 AM
Probably it would be worth the wait if there would be a reasonable price to. We could say the 7950 GTX (which yes is only a notebook version) is being sold @ $600+ at AlienWare so that's already something. So as the 7950 GTX is right now best on the market for notebooks at that price, the 8800 line will probably be far more better, and probably a lot more expensive. Again we have to take in consideration temperatures. The famous 80*C + range can be easily achieved by a 7950 GTX during gameplay. Probably the 8800 line will need external cooling and if they sell it already set up in certain notebooks (which I'm sure they will) they will probably be selling together with it the external cooling system.

patton45
Nov 2, 2007, 01:44 AM
where is asus and acer on the external graphics card set ups are they not certified yet? cause they were suposed to be out this fall and that would be my best shot term option since i already have dx10 laptop. i say get one 7950 and a 8800gt for external setup so you can hook up as a desktop i will shoot my buddie and email and see what up with acer on that but i know asus was hella close to being ready they were just wating cert and more than anything external psu cert from nvidia


edit: 600 thats in sli right cause i think when they first had them it was like 1200 for sli and last time i checked i thought th price was somewhere like half as much its not still 1200 from alienware right

N-Gen
Nov 2, 2007, 02:08 AM
I'd probably get the thing that from AlienWare Customize feature on the VGA selection you se +$xxx amount that's for the additional we don't really know their price for a single. So let's say SLI from the UK is +$660 Us dollars that would make a single card closer to $600 US dollars. The + price is for another card & the nForce chip.

It's not a question of trying. You need to know if your card does support VIVO (Video In Video Out) which means besides the normal sending the monitor ports you get a port that delivers to the card. If not therefore you'd need a capture card or a tv tuner. Adding to that even 1 s-video port to another s-video port would be enough to deliver video in.

Hope this helps.

I use exactly the same scart in the picture. Works very fine for me. Has been working fine since I've been even on MX440...not to mention 7950 GTX now.

As for the card: Connectors: Dual Dual-Link DVI + HDTV-Out

As it says there I cannot see an IN port. That's a cause for concern. The DVI is surely out and then HDTV-Out as the name says is definately output. If it has any different connector than those stated if you could take a shot of the card to let us see exactly what we're talking about? We could come up with a proper solution.

Clubhouses like this one are generally a place where members share thier knowledge on the subject. Not telling what you did to raise your score DOES defeat the purpose. Anyway, it's not like we're going to go crazy like herion addicts because we're in dire need to know what you did with your score if that's what you're intending... :)

ok i wil tell you some just mod your shader speed in the BIOS it will take a few times before you find the best speed.Benchmark before you mod it.After you mod it than bench it again.Keep doing that till you get the higest boost.FYI: you can't get as high of a core clock because it uppes the shaders along with the core.I found that my card runs best at 35mhz shaders at max OC!

Hi widjaja,
Long story short i'm really been fighting a memory crapup:banghead:

All I do know, is that nothing has came even CLOSE to what the 4x512 BH5's..............I'm 'bout to give up on all this shit
CPU= same 833

FWIW, I've busted my ass trying to get even that far:o

Not pissing on your P4 3.4 EE CPU, I used to own a P4 3.0E which OC'ed 24/7 to 3.4Ghz on stock volts stable and was only a second slower than my mates PentiumD 945 3.4Ghz Pressler in SuperPI, he thought his rig was the bomb.:D

But I'm pretty sure it has the same issue as my X2 4800+ with OCing.
Not very much headroom.

If you have the spare cash, you could always get an Opty 180 and a MSI KN8 Neo mobo which should do you good, I think thats what the mobo is named. . . .
I only bought the X2 4800+ because it was selling for an offer I couldn't refuse.
Opty's are usually the better OC'ers.
I don't know the price of AMD CPU's where you live but in New Zealand they are not very cheap most of the time.

The motherboard I have is shit, not very good at OCing this CPU and reads higher than actual CPU temps on the GURU clock. (Core temps are about 10deg lower than CPU through 3 different temp reading programs.)
Sucks up a hell of alot of juice on cold boot itself and won't get to windows if too many appliances are running off the same wall socket.:wtf:
Adding a some what power hungry X1950pro to the equation doesn't help.

I can play DiRT on high settings at 1024X768 with amooth and acceptable fps.
V-Sync makes it stutter.
Runs about as smooth as NFSC on PS3.

I can say it should be faster than your everyday run of the mill 667Mhz DDR2 due to the tighter timings if I'm correct.

I remember when my mate's PentiumD arrived.
He thought it/he was the shit.:rolleyes:
He would brag about it all the time continually putting down my rig because it had "slower" ram, wasn't PCI-E and well generally older.
Yep one of those guys who strolls into a forum and instead of giving help to someone who wants to stay with AGP interface, would post "man your rig is old and slow. just buy a new PC with PCI express!:rolleyes:".

Well. . . .

Did some benchtests which he was confident he was going to slaughter me in.

PentiumD 945 3.4Ghz
2x 1GB DDR667Mhz mixed timings ,1 ADATA ,1 Hitachi? (People who built his rig blew up one of the ADATA modules)
ASUS 256mb 7600GT PCI-E

Although I do have a Gigabyte 7600GS 256mb AGP which lies on my magazines.
Did me good until NFSC came out, still think it was a nice highend/lowend card for its time.

The only thing I don't like about nVidia is thier logo coming up at the start of the many games they sponser.

Sick of the nvidia trialers I made this edit of the nVidia logo come up in Crysis on my bros rig.:D
He isn't a devoted fan of nVidia since he was going to get a 2900XT until he found FSX was designed with nVidia cards in mind and bought a eVGA 8800GTX.

The card wouldn't be worth it when the shipping costs come it to the equation.

what is the chance that EVGA sent POS a higher video card than he sent to them?


IRA could you post some 3dMark scores with your 7900 and C2D?

With you 24/7 gaming settings not your OC to the max and hope it gets through 3Dmark settings please.:D

Why the hell do I still post here like I use a nVidia card. . . .:wtf:
There must be some subliminal message in those nVidia trailers. . . .

Well.
I'm back here again and you know what?
I was looking at a new GPU which is. . . nVidia!
Looking at a eVGA 8800GTS 320mb Super clocked and a AN8 SLi Deluxe motherboard.

Don't know why either.
This rig is doing a good job of the games I'm currently playing.

Maybe the power of the darkside is not strong enough. lol

Its not to bad, there lacking good drivers in vista though, but you get that from a mouth old card, look how long it took them to get the G80 driver right, works better in XP atm. ran crysis on high setting 1680x1050 in XP, when i was playing it short game.but there will be a crysis part2, but it probably be a gap like farcry 1 to 2 :(, owell ill keep the game for a beach mark ;)
