HD3650's in crossfire or 8800GS .. "??"

wolf · Feb 18, 2008

that may not be a driver error, but since you can run them with the CD drivers........

still looking into it.

the stock heatsink is trash

http://www.ixbt.com/video3/images/g84-3/chaintech-8600gt-cooler1.jpg

you can buy a pretty cheap heatsink to cool it and get much better results and let the beast out in that thing

look at one of these, they're great coolers on a budget

I would reccomend the accelero s2, its a great cooler

heres a review of the accelero s2 on a 8600gt

http://xtreview.com/review199.htm

you should get a 120mm fan with it and it will drop the temps massively on it

wolf · Feb 18, 2008

agreed, when kept around 60 degrees, they can really let loose in terms of sheer gpu mhz.

i mean stock 8600gt on stock vcore is 540... ive pushed 740, and i know sols gone higher.

JrRacinFan · Feb 18, 2008

Trust me I've looked Kain.

WHat do you think it could be wolf?

wolf · Feb 18, 2008

i dont think its specific to drivers, i think theres something else at play here...but i cant put my finger on it.... how fresh is your current windows install?

JrRacinFan · Feb 18, 2008

I would say .... about a month but theres tons of crap on this drive.

EDIT: Nevermind, still no clue.

wolf · Feb 18, 2008

iunno man, i got nothin aye. my process goes:

reinstall the application
reinstall the drivers
reinstall the windows

if all that fails, then youll need to speak to the higher ups.

JrRacinFan · Feb 18, 2008

I figured it out though. It was a combination of the 169.21's (using 163's right now), improperly set vcore and improperly set resolution for my monitor.

cdawall · Feb 18, 2008

its nv drivers mine locked up in games on most newer drivers i'm running the ones on the disk now and will throw the tweaksrus 17x.xx on it

JrRacinFan · Feb 18, 2008

Meh, everything works now with Beta 169.04's. I am going to leave it as is.

So far 600/700/1400 clocks on the card. Aquamark runs up to around 118, 3dmark03 close to 16k. So far I am extremely happy with my choice.

Although the only downfall is that this vid card requires more northbridge voltage than the 7600GS but that is to be expected. cdawall, You almost finished with your Intel build?

JrRacinFan · Feb 19, 2008

For pos_pc

Take a look. Post yours in reply....

Xazax · Feb 19, 2008

check this out.

"After carrying out this process we managed to reach a 693MHz core and a 913MHz (1826MHz DDR) memory frequency, which was proven to be completely stable after a 4 hour continuous loop in 3Dmark2006."

8600GT OC'ing guide using stock cooler via Legionhardware
http://www.legionhardware.com/document.php?id=657&p=1

you have quite some headroom there.

wolf · Feb 19, 2008

i'd say most 8600GT's clock up to about 700 on the core and over 1620 on the shaders.

JrRacinFan · Feb 26, 2008

Some new benches....

Wile E · Feb 26, 2008

Run 06. I can't judge things based off of 03. lol.

JrRacinFan · Feb 26, 2008

No problem. But here is the bad, I can't force a 1280x1024 res, so the results would have to based off 1152x864.

EDIT: about 8k in 3dm05 and about 4.5-5k in 3dm06. But I will run it and post.

Uninstall your monitor drivers (use the MS PnP driver), and turn off scaling in the NV cp. Should let you run default then.

JrRacinFan · Feb 26, 2008

K will try it.

JrRacinFan · Feb 26, 2008

Here yah go Wile E.

Wile E · Feb 26, 2008

Not too shabby. It's about equal to my old X1800XT. Should keep you chugging along at at least medium for a while.

Here's mine, for shits and giggles. lol.

JrRacinFan · Feb 26, 2008

Im just wondering, if I get me some cooling other than stock I could probably push the ram a little higher. Yeah should hold me over for a while.

Think I will go crossfire in the future though. I am bad I am already planning on what is next.

EDIT: Nice score! Isn't that a little much for a 19" LCD? Practically same model specs I have.

Yeah, it is, but I'm mainly a benchmarker, and most benches have a low default res anyway. Getting fast hardware is more important overall. Once I get my QX, I'll start saving for a 1920x1200 monitor.

I still am at around 20-21k in 03 and our 05 and 06 are about the same. :toast:
