have you tryed ocing the mem ?

but 733 is about the max for stock volts

got the ram at about 933mhz... i've heard they don't like going much farther than that, and that samsung modules did better, mine are hynix or something like that i think.

you can get more than that easily if they are cooled right :)
760 core was my limit on my 8800gt
Unlink the shader to push more :)

I can unlock shaders on this thing? :D

Nice cooler - I there is infact a company in China that makes the exact same cooler. I think Panther (the non-moderater one) bought one for one of his 5870s or something from a seller on ebay.

the coolers are exactly identical.

::EDIT::


Here it is. The manufacturer/seller is called She-in and heres the cooler

i'm guessing that's more or less a version with more mounting hardware for newer cards, and much better directions lol. the directions for mine were worthless.

Friggin 54 dollars!? :banghead:

heh i got lucky then

Edit: here's a unigine Heaven score... DX11 but obviously no tessellation

If you use an overclocking tool you can 'unlink' the shaders meaning, they can run at a different clock from the core, meaning higher performance

I've had a card with hynx ram go to 1120mhz on the ram, and could have pushed them even more

yea i know no DX11, that's why i said it obviously wouldn't have Tessellation haha. Oddly I get a better score in DX11 "mode" than DX10, but a small difference

also, looks like at the very least i'd have to do the voltage mods in the bios, if not with soldering... i'm not too good with soldering yet :(

@Bo$$ oh i thought you meant unlocking from 112shaders to 128. I'm already able to clock the shader clock apart from the core. I'm using this app... It's old but it works. :rockout:



I have read online that its possible to unlock the extra few shaders though using rivatuner, but i dunno how well that program would work with win7. apparently the G92 core is supposed to have 128shaders and 64TAUs instead of the 112shaders and 56TAUs that the 8800GT has. I think a later version of the 8800GTS or 9800GTX has the full setup (and clocked higher) :D
