I figured since gpu-z atleast reads my card as a GTS 250 instead of a 9800gtx/9800gtx+,it would have the right revision and die size on it.Is this ever going to be fixed?

Due to the BIOS on the card, GPU-Z is likely "fooled" as it recognises the card as a GTS250, and pulls up hardware details (assuming) in its own database for a GTS250.

Do you actually know that your card would be a B1 55nm? It's possible it's not.

Well unless nvidia is lieing to everybody it is.I doubt theres any such thing as a 65nm 250.:cool:

Nonsense, GTS250 uses the same chip asi 9800GTX+ clocked to 738MHz, this chip is manifactured by 55nm manufacturing process, this is mistake of GPU-Z, which still can not identify nvidia GTS250 right.

woah nice info steve.. :D

good to help... when I saw 65 nm on GPU-Z for my new 9800 gtx+, I've started swearing :shadedshu

Now that I've installed the Accelero S1, i'm pretty relaxed

OT: The stock cooler of XFX is a total fail: noisy and unefficent.

T° Ambient: 28°C
Stock values
Idle: 45°C @ 50+% fan speed (untollerable)
Company of Heroes session: 70+°C @ 80+% fan speed (100% headache)

Rivatuner operated
Idle: 50°C @ 25% fan speed (little quite)
Company of Heroes session: 78°C @ 35% fan speed (a little more noiser, but tollerable)

Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 rev. 2
Idle: 41°C - fanless
Company of Heroes session: 59°C - fanless

Simply amazing ;)

I ran GPU-Z last night after I got my modded cooler done. I was wrong, it does report the wrong die size... :eek: :banghead:

This issue can not be fixed. It is nVidia's fault, they did not change the GPUID when then moved from the 65nm G92 to the 55nm G92b. They did this so that the G92b would be a direct drop in replacement for the G92, with no other modification of the card necessary to support it.

That means no software can accurately destiquish between the 65nm and 55nm core. So GPU-z just assumes the worst and says 65nm, the only way to be for sure on any G92 card is to pull the heatsink and check yourself.
