Nvidia Videocard Owner Clubhouse

[[I.R.A]_FBi]

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)

Let me start out by saying i own a TNT64, Geforce 2 MX400, Geforce 3Ti 500, 4600Ti, FX5900, 6600GT, 6800GT, 7600GT, 7950GX2,Two 8800GTS in SLI in my old setup....:rockout: But now i use ATI:roll:

Nvidia Rocks.....

[CrAsHnBuRnXp]

I hvae owned an MX440 (i think that was it), Gigabyte FX5200 (stock), BFG nVidia GeForce 6800GS OC (412/1.12) w/ 16 pipes (unlocked), an my current BFG 8800GTS 640MB 600/100.

I have only owned one ATI card and that was a 7000 series card that I hated. Haven t used ATI since.

I edited my post to provide card specs.

[N-Gen]

Started off in 1999 with an 8mb ATI model. In the same setup I switched to NVidia of which an MX 440 another MX440 in the newer system and currently running a 512mb 7950 GTX.

[JrRacinFan]

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 ....

[[I.R.A]_FBi]

nothing too big though ...something kinda like a userbar ...

edited first post and put a link to it there

[N-Gen]

Well I got the standard specs here. It runs at 575/700, 256-bit, 3.0 Shaders. 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 :)

[CrAsHnBuRnXp]

Edited my post.

any comments on teh sig?

Forgot. Here is my link for my card. http://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/uzhbr/

Nice sig. The word "Owner" is kinda hard to make out. Other than that, it looks good.

I can always change the font to something more readable.

The change would have to go through [I.R.A]_FBi though.

: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 ::

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.

i have a 8800gts 640mb by EVGA for sale. new in the box. you can check my feedback on ebay, user name satxms. i would take $340 OBO. fitseries3@gmail.com

my current setup i have 2 8800 ultra's running in SLI fed by a 1000watt enermax galaxy. processing is done by a q6600. very nice setup.

[N-Gen]

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.

[N-Gen]

I'm not getting any card since up till now the 7950 GTX is the flagship for mobile graphics. I'll be considering 7950 GTX in SLI or switching to 8800M GTX in SLI when evaluating stuff well.

[[I.R.A]_FBi]

about how much does that mobile card run for

[N-Gen]

I really am curious about the price of a single one as well. Since it was with the notebbok and the notebook currently is only available with 7950 GTX (single or dual) I only know the extra price for another card + the nForce SLI chip. And they go like this:

512MB NVidia® GeForce™ Go 7950 GTX

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.

I own 2 thats right count them TWO........7600gt's......lol

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...

[N-Gen]

Well we shouldn't say it's a bad card anyway..after all it has DX10 it just depends on what you're going to do and what you want to see.

[hat]

It plays Oblivion fine with the settings I gave it. It looked decent and ran decent. I can certianly say I expected less from it...

I only have a 15" monitor as well, 1024x768 is considered low among gamers today :laugh:

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?

[hat]

I don't think so man... it does what I want it to, and I can't see spending the $$ for something that isn't needed. I need a new PSU, a CPU cooler, and some casefans first.

[N-Gen]

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

hat i didn't know that ur card only got 13gb/s bandwidth.My 7900GS gets 62.7gb/s

[N-Gen]

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.

[hat]

I don't plan on going DX10 anyway, at least for a long while.

i was thinking about 35-40GB/s OCed on that card... My GS OCed gets the 62.7GB/s not sure about stock.i think it is in the 40+/-GB/s

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.

thanks... The GPU has a 1.3v mod and the mem is stock volts. I can get 1000mhz somtimes but not stable for more than Aqua mark 3 980mhz is stable.

You guys are making me more eager to get my machine back from fixing lol. I really wanna see how far it pushes itself...then again I already get 82*C with it at stock...so waiting for my fans to come too.

I just cannot wait to get my 8800GT and new motherboard/ram! ;)

[patton45]

my cousin sold his gts for 400 today i couldnt frickin believe it i dont even think he paid that for it. and his 8800 is here and were runnin it through the paces now. MY gtx is still getting higher fps

Tight that should be a nice upgrade
going to c2d too?

[p_o_s_pc]

i want to get a AMD x2 5000+ black and more ram also a 8800GT than i will be happy for a short time.

[patton45]

you can get an fx-62 cheaper i would go with that
149 on tiger direct
well not cheaper but for not much more 40$ get you faster proc and more chache and you can hit 3.1-3.2 easily on that chip
the only thing is is your mobo 939 cause i think it is

[hat]

But tiger charges around $20 shipping :laugh:

[patton45]

sometimes i got mine shiped free
freeshiping for purchases over 100 at the time
157.48 with shipping from newyork to me in seattle not bad

[JrRacinFan]

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.

[N-Gen]

I'll be waiting a few weeks and slamming in 2 x 2gb ram modules on my notebook...and further more in time I'll be getting probably another 7950 GTX.

[patton45]

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]

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]

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]

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.

[[I.R.A]_FBi]

what does teh third port on my video card do?

[p_o_s_pc]

what 3rd port? i think it maybe S-video... It is an output to a HD-TV or a TV with S-video in sometimes you can get an adapter to make it go from S-video to composite for a non HD TV

[[I.R.A]_FBi]

suppose i havea cable box i could run my tv into my video card?

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/c/cd/Vivo_cable.jpg/250px-Vivo_cable.jpg

[p_o_s_pc]

i don't think you can run it into ur computer but you can try... I think it is just an out unless ur card has something mine doesn't.

[[I.R.A]_FBi]

coulkd this do it?

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/216PE14ED3L._SS500_.jpg

[p_o_s_pc]

IDK... The one in teh first pic looks more like something i would try first... Try google or opening another thread for it so maybe you can get someone that knows for sure.

[[I.R.A]_FBi]

the first one comes with the video card .. the second id have to buy.

[p_o_s_pc]

try the first one.

[N-Gen]

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.

[p_o_s_pc]

that is teh name i was looking for VIVO.BTW i downloaded Crysis demo.I just want to see what see in it.

this is my card

[Grings]

judging by the 2 s-video ports on that 1st cable, id say it IS vivo, and yes, you can run youre vcr into your pc, you just need the right cable, the 2nd pic one might do it IF youre vcr has a composite OUT (the ones on the front of vcr's are an input) i have a cable like the 2nd picture, plugged into a scart converter like ive pictured below (the ones with xbox/ps2 are no good, as theyre only wired for input)

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.

You won't be getting high end graphics on that...I can assure you. And I doubt I'll be getting higher than medium. The damn game needs 2 8800GTXs to get everything running fine on high res. We'll be probably going 1280 x 1024.

Right I just get it in this way. You increase the card performance and the Vista says " great MORE MEMORY " and just robs it off you so I guess Vista does suck at graphic overclocking. It's a resource needing piece of difficult to manage software.

I changed the corespeed from 500MHz to 677MHz, memspeed from 333 to 433, shaders from 1026 to 1100. NiBiTor was screwing aroung with my motherboard settings like FSB and multi, I would have to reconfigure it every time I played with my BIOS, so I decided to get rid of it and just flash my card.

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!

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.

Hell my 2.4C would clock to 3.3@5:4 and could even get 300FSB[5:4] for some benchies when I had the XLPT's 4x512 at 2.2.2.5 .
Thats about the only thing I havent tried to do again, since I have 5GB of Dual chnl ram to play with, cause really at this point, I'm very dissapointed with all these so called "BADASS" ram kits, that are supposed to do wonders, oh yea i'm sorry, i'm still wondering...............
What is the comparable "modern" dimm's to the 2-2-2-5 XLPT's????????????????????????????:mad:

still wondering
BTW when I was look thru all my other ORB's{3.0+P4&7800}, I had the highest CPU score, so I dont think it'll get much better 'cause:D
still wondering:laugh:

It's kinda like those restrictor plate races, everyday use is just so-so, but crank it up and it gets a little better, thats what I miss, used to be like firing up my 468 Pontiac, had plenty on tap when needed{even at idle}

[black light burns]

i hate my P4. I am using my friend's(p_o_s_pc) computer and it is running a x2 and it is kicking my rig's ass.I never used his rig before i can't wait till he gets his 7900GS back.

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

Vs

Athlon X2 4800+ 2.45Ghz
2x 1GB PDP systems PATRIOT DDR400
Sapphire 512mb X1950pro AGP

3Dmark05'
7600GT 4899
X1950pro 10038

Super PI 1m test
PentiumD 945 3.4Ghz 38sec
Athlon X2 4800+ 2.45Ghz 33sec

All that time I though he was going to have a better CPU mark.
All he has to brag about now is his 19"LCD screen with dead pixels due to fly poo.:p

I just did a few SPI's and best was 34s:confused:
It said loop 19 was done in 32s, but report shows 34s
Dont know if'n that good or not for this 'ole dog

[pbmaster]

Evga 8800 GTS 640 MB, stock cooler. Stock clocks of 513/792, everyday OC to 650/1508/900, benchmarking done at 700/1623/1000. At all clocks temps stay below 55*C load and around 41*C idle.

[Widjaja]

Yeah, good for any P4.
Is the Super PI score 34sec with stock settings or have you OC'ed something?

[hat]

My old P4 got... 42s? I think..

that has to be overclocking I would think because i can only get about that with my X2 at 2.8ghz :( so i would think it is OCed

I had tried a shitload of memset timings, and stock but 3326[7 normal] and the 3.4=3.665, 3.7 was same 34s

3.4 stock was 36s.
Just swicthed back to the 2.4C, at 3.0 46s:ohwell:
I crashed 3DM06 at 595/1600, so I gotta start all that trials over sometime.

But as of now the system's happy at 250FSB[3.0] 1:1 3327

BTW i'm back to only using the 2x1024 OCZ EB's for now
And I did noticed that during Return To Proxycon, my framerates were about half what I had got with the EE even though 3.6/7 vs 3.0[217/220max]vs 250FSB:wtf:

Hey Gallatin, why don't you OC that 6400...I know you can do much better than that score. If you can get that thing to around 3 GHz I'm sure you can get at least 11k, which is what I'm getting now with my AMD and 8800 GTS.

Your P4 EE was doing a fine job for what it is as long as it stays stable.
It is HT afterall and as I said it most probably doesn't have much headroom being pretty much at the high-end of the 478skt CPUs.
Just have to go on to the next step which involves spending more money.:p

on the 27th POS should have the replacement from EVGA. I can't wait till he gets it back i didn't use his rig when he had it and i have been using the onboard video that is OCed... i am on POS's rig more than he is when i am here. lol

[Widjaja]

These superPI scores show it does not matter on the Mhz of a CPU.

Sort of like the old saying. "Size doesn't matter".
It's whats on the inside that counts.:rolleyes:

The architecture of the new CPUs are just more refined.
Sometimes I wonder why the hell Intel brought out Celerons.
I'm guessing to bump up the price of the Pentiums at the 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.
