Got a new 5800 Ultra on the way

[bkswaney]

I got the last PNY newegg had. It's OEM. No problem there tho.
The PNY does not have any game software with it anyway. :)
After I made my order I went back in and now out of stock.
My CC and all is already confirmed. :D :D
Should be here tuesday. 421 bucks with overnight shipping.
I was going to get a BFG but the sites CC confirm was screwed up and it would not go through. I went to newegg and they had one and I got it.

I just hope it's stable on my G-bay chipset mobo.
My 9700 Pro sure was not.
And yes I had the newest drivers etc. It's a AGP problem with the 7205 chipset and the Radeon.

Please hold the flames. I know it's slower I just want stable.
I sick of working on it more than I play.

Anyone here have a PNY?

[Typedef Enum]

I don't know man...I mean, nVidia is just weeks away from letting the cat out of the bag (NV35).

I think that NV35 will end up being worth the wait.

[RobHague]

Cool, im sure you will be pleased with it. Mine is wasted at the moment because i can play games at a much higher res than my monitor can support - but im going to solve that problem soon. ;)

NV35 might be good yes, but the NV35 isnt out now and no one know when the NV35 will be out. People are just gussing its soon and i wont be 'upgrading' my FX unless the NV35 is pretty special. :) Be funny if NV35 turns out to be a Quadro FX 3000 or something else unexpected lol ;)

You know with the 5600 Ultra not performing as well as it could has anyone thought that the NV35 could be a replacement for the mainstream market? :angel:

Not trying to flame, and I certainly don't blame you for wanting to find a card that's fast and stable on your platform, but I'm a little curious as to what happened between today and two days ago when you posted this (http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?s=&postid=1331895750#post1331893906) on Rage3D:

I'm not sure why some of u r having problems with older 9700's and X8.

I have a rev 1 9700 Pro and it works just fine on all MOBO's I've tried.
It's on a new G-bay 7205 Intel chipset now with X8 running no problem.
I do not see any problems using it on a 875P board.
From what I understand the 875 and 7205 are a lot alike
in many ways.

Um, why would you switch from 9800 to 5800? The 9800 eats Ultra for breakfast in 3dmark2k1, and it beats it in 2k3, even with the 5800's higher clock :banghead: EDIT: of course it would be worthwhile to switch if you have compatibility problems... doh

:lol2:

Did you even read the post?

Oh and those were pixel and vertex shader speeds. Which i believe on the NV30 can be affected A LOT by the drivers. I noted you were also very selective of the links there werent you. We can all play that game. :rolleyes: See the 5800 Ultra eats the 9800 for breakfast. Infact the Ti4800 beats the 9800 in Serious Sam there lol.

Sorry, I just did a quick google search for 9800 5800 comparison. But I'm also pretty confident the 9800 is a better card overall. EDIT: but like he said he had compatibility problems... doh

:lol: He hasnt got a 9800. He had a 9700 - and the reason he switched was because it wouldnt work stable on his mainboard.

The 9800 v 5800 debate is urrm for another day :) either NVIDIA or ATI card is good, it all depends on what you want.

[walkndude]

can you read gator, he said he was having compatibility problems with his 9700 and current mobo...

Geesh give it a break allready.

edit: you beat me to the punch rob:)

[Gator]

Oh... ok I'm a dumby, sorry. I'll update my posts. Sorry, I'm deathly ill today :(

[Kev1]

:dance:

Being sick sucks :(

[Rogozhin]

Im a little curious about Hanner's post.

First you say it has no problems at rage3d.com then you post here that the reason why you are buying the fx is because it has compatability problems.

Kinda Wierd.

[bkswaney]

That's easy. The Rev of a board has nothing to do with were it will work on 8x or not.
My 9700 works just fine being a Rev1 on 8x.

My bugs are not 8x related. Just Gbay bugs.
Intel has stated the 875 does not have this issue.

[bkswaney]

BTW... go over to asusboards.com and read the 30+ pages on this issue. :)

[SurfMonkey]

Have fun with your new card! So many doomsayers, so little market share...

[marcocom]

i would spend less than 25% on a new motherboard, keep the 9700, and start saving money for nv35. thats an aweful expensive investment in some nice gfx hardware you got there.

while the mobo transition to 800mhz (with a nice little cpu upgrade for xmas) might have you sitting with an 800mhz FSB pumping,IntelP4 3.5+ghz (hyperthreaded) blazing, nvidia geforce6 screaming, hell of a good time in 2004.

also that PNY is the shadiest of the 5800s, methinks they got a really good deal on taking the recalled flowFX-outfitted first-press 5800Ultras. because they had them out so much ahead of anyone else, and their cooling solution is the old, opaque, loudest one. (fine though if your planning on a 3rd party cooling solution for your FX...as we all are pretty much, my friend. except the gainward or Leadtek buyers.)

good luck wid dat.

[marcocom]

however, do not read that post to insinuate that you should buy any other motherboard for your Intel chip than an Intel chipset-laden board to replace it. im in no way condoning the purchase of a VIA or SiS 'we got it on the shelves first' excuse for a 3rd party motherboard upgrade.

i just had to clear that up. sorry.

[Rogozhin]

just save your cash and buy a mac

[Hellbinder]

Stability problems??? He posted this at Rage3d 2 days ago. of which hanners already pointed it out. I noticed that virtually all of you ignored it so i will make it really hard for you to blow off.

Same guy.. with *compatability* problems.. posted this at Rage3d 2 days ago.

I'm not sure why some of u r having problems with older 9700's and X8.

I have a rev 1 9700 Pro and it works just fine on all MOBO's I've tried.
It's on a new G-bay 7205 Intel chipset now with X8 running no problem.
I do not see any problems using it on a 875P board.
From what I understand the 875 and 7205 are a lot alike
in many ways.

Again...

Do you guys have the point yet? or do I need to post this another 10 times...

Perhaps the origional poster could anser as to how he posted this and suddenly has *compatability* problems now?

[Hellbinder]

My bugs are not 8x related. Just Gbay bugs.
Intel has stated the 875 does not have this issue.

Do tell.. what is a *Gbay* issue????

I noticed you seem to be running your 9700pro at 380/333 with water cooling. I guess that might have *nothing* to do with any wierd issues you amy have eh?

[bkswaney]

Well, Mr no it all HB why not go over and talk to Bigtoe at AF's.

And hell no it's has nothing to do with it being overclocked.
It does the SAME THING at factory speeds.

Why in the **** do u give a **** what I do anyway??????????????

One big pain in the @ss is it just drops back to 640 res for no reason.
It's been posted at R3D MANY times by members and even by me with NO REPLY. I've sent in bug reports and still NO FIX.
I've tried everything anyone has come up with.

I spend my money the way I want.
I've had my Pro sense Oct of last year and it run fine on my 850 chipset board.

I'm due for a new card anyway. I upgrade every 6 months.
Man some of u guys take this fanboy sh!t way to far.

Would a mod please just lock this thread.?

[bkswaney]

These 27 pages full of problems HB.

I sent this link to ATI 6 times.
It's been post at rage3d by me 2 times as I know of.

http://www.asusboards.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=405928#post405928

BTW... It's might run fine a few days then again it will crash 3 times a night.
It's like this. Just when I think it's stable it screws up again.
Last night it dropped back to 640 res and just rebooted.
At times it seems rock stable then again sometimes it does not.
I'm sick of fooling with this combo.

END OF STORY.

WE give a Fook because you are posting lies and we've caught you.

This influences other people regardless of your belief in its causation.

So, if you have difficulites please give us the exact errors (cut and paste them from your desktop) and give us your dxdiagnostic.

If you still can't figure it out, take it to a pro.

HB is only calling you a hypocrite because of your double post that Hanners also saw over at rage3d.com

Had you not posted that we wouldn't have questioned the validity of your claim.

As it stands your credibility is near zero.

Fine then. I have give my bloody errors more times than I care to talk about.
I'm far from a hypocrite. I post a lot at R3D.
My claim.? Can u not read? Click the link and go over the AB's and read all the problems.

As I said. At times I thought it was fine and then it would just screw up again.

I posted many times all over the net that it's was a good setup.
If it's was not for the on and off problems that just seem to come back it would be.

As long as it's not a Gbay board there seems to be no real problems with the Radeon.

Anyway my Pro is sold so there is no problem anymore.

I have no reason to lie about it.
