Thanks for sharing spajdr. Try Crysis 1680,1920 in High & VH for see that can do the 280 :)

Are you on Vista64bit as well?

Please, try some games in ultra high res with AA/AF.

I would like to know if the card is bounded by the memory bandwidth.

Also, how far can you overclock this card ? Is 650/1400/2300 the max ?

Thank you very much & enjoy the moment :)

There ya go 8xAA 16xAF 1920x1200 {I overclocked card a little .. 650/1400/2300}

Card is so hot on other side that i cant keep finger on it for more then few seconds.Thanks for sharing.


Can you please post 1 bench @ 3DM06 @ 1920x1200 no AA no AF? (You must be a busy man right now with al these requests!! Thanks again for you effort. I appreciate it.)

My 8800 Ultra scores about 11000 without AA/ AF @ 1920x1200 on a Q6600 @ 3GHz, so I guess the AA and AF results of this card is very good. 1920x1200 8xAA 16xAF @ 3DM06 is very intense for a VGA card.

Dont have much games right now, so i need to visit gameshop today :)

Guys i dont have Crysis, should i use demo? or is it too much unoptimised.

I didnt tried higher for overclock, but surely its pretty hot even at default, so i dont wanna burn it first day :)

[spajdr]

I ordered at another shop now for €500,- and canceled the expensive ones. :D I will happily wait a few more days and save myself 100 euros. :D

Apart from the 9800GX2 the card in terms of Single GPU...its kicking some good ass.

Stalker results are a bit strange ...

Hope Nvidia releases a new driver next week to improve performance. A little bit underperforming atm, it should be beating the 9800 GX2 in all tests imho but it's not doing it atm.

[spajdr]

Well i tried crysis demo at 1680x1050 DX10 all very high, no AA and got 24fps average lol :p

They using older forceware driver though, not one that is with gfx card, which is 177.26

[Revs]

Cheers for the link. It seems the card OC's nicely with good performance gains. Good stuff :)

It's about as fast as expected. Hopefully the price will drop in the coming weeks.

Don't forget its High/XP/SP2. Not Very HIGH.

Try text with XP or DX9.
