The Official 8800GT Information and Discussion Thread

Now what did I do.
I have a Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L ,Q6600 2GB DDR2. BIOS F7. System running stable at 3.2GHz but My 8800gt Zotac 512MB AMP edition is running according to GPU-Z Bus Interface PCIE-2.0 X 16@x1
3DMark06 4608 . New PSU RaidMax 630W modular.
Its crawling.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I'd say you have some driver issues. Maybe trying re installing your vidcard drivers after a nice DriverClearer cleaning. Uninstall drivers,run DriverCleaner and reboot. Run DriverCleaner once more and reboot again. Then install fresh drivers. Always helps me.

I ran driver cleaner in safe mode after uninstalling. I also ran the cab cleaner. Reinstall 169.21 driver and I still get 1x.
I have the PCI Express frequency locked down at 100
Do I need to change that?
Thanks for helping.

Found the problem:
On the card just above all the PCI-e contacts is a cap or diode and looking at it from the back the first 3 from left to right are broken off. Acually 2 are missing and the third one is hanging by one end.
RMA time.

I just ordered a Galaxy 8800GT. It has two 6 pins cpi-e power connectors on the back. Should I connect them both or just one?

Hmm is it the 1GB one? If so i guess you have to connect them both then.

YOU'RE AT 100%?! 100% fan speed and you still can't get any higher...WOW. That is HORRIBLE. I'm at 80% fan speed an get 750/1030/1750 and I'm still going higher on my shader.

Guys, it goes core clock/shader/memory. I can't tell WTH you're trying to say there. A 1030 shader clock sucks, so I assume memory and you have it backwards.
