8800 GTX

[JackoR26]

Just got a call to say it will be delivered on Monday!

Been waiting for 3 weeks due to no one having any stock

Anyone got one?

I have one great card thinking of getting a 2nd one though as I use high resolutions 1920x1200+ and find it struggles with max details in some games at that res...hardly surprising though. Some of the current gen games really are meant for next gen hardware.

 

[JackoR26]

You done any overclocking with it or just the defaults?

Whats it like for temps?

Since the 8800GT came out I can't really see the point in paying an extra 100-150 quid for 10-15 more fps in games, however its still an absolute beast of a card and its your choice so i hope you really enjoy it!

 

[JackoR26]

I was originally after the GT but its not looking likely i will be able to get one for xmas so i decided to go for the GTX instead

I've got a second one on my desk at the moment. I'm seriously thinking of SLI'ing them just to see how Cysis runs. Problem is I run dual monitors and that causes problems.

I've just the one in for now.

I've got the XFX 768MB 8800 GTX 1900Mhz, will run anything. I'd be interested to hear how it runs SLI, as I was thinking of doing that, but to my surprise it hasn't really dropped any money since I bought it 9 months ago.

im buying the 756mb version anytime soon unless something else comes out between now and the new year!

I've got a BFG 8800 GTX OC2 version which is overclocked by the manufacturer. http://overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-042-BG

Lol theres a tri-sli benchmark out with 3 ultras and at 1900x1200 res at very high settings on crysis it gets 37fps max and 14 min!!

I don't think my 650w PSU could hack both cards in at once.

 

[JackoR26]

Ive only got a 570w PSU, will that be enough?

Rest of the spec is;

Asus M2N-Sli Deluxe
AMD Athlon X2 6400+ Black Edition
2gb of Kingston HyperX (800Mhz)
2 x 80GB Western Digital SATA
Creative X-Fi Extreme Music
And a Standard DVD burner

 

[Rasclart]

Depends what PSU it is. Dont be fooled by wattage fella. Its about how strong the 12V rails are, what PSU model. we can buy 550W PSU at work for 10 + VAT and they wouldnt run a GTX in a STABLE manner. However pay 60 + for one and they likely will as they usually whack out 18A per 12V rail.

 

[JackoR26]

Its one i got from maplins as i needed it at short notice, spent about £50 on it IIRC

Can i check the volatages its putting out with cpu-z or something?

I used to be ok with all this until they changed it, hanvt got a clue now! lol

here it is

PC is just sat there waiting for the card too! its torture! lol

 

[Mike_182]

That case has an awful layout? Will you get a GTX in there?

 

[Cookie]

^ There's more than enough room in there for a GTX

I have one, think I want an Ultra now though

 

[JackoR26]

Whats wrong with the layout?

Theres loads of room! lol

Used to have an x800 in there before

The new G92 GTS has proved a better clocker, much better than the GTX. When it is clocked it has the edge on the GTX! The GTX and Ultra are soon to be EOL, Overclockers are selling their GTX for £230 odd quid!
