The Official 8800GT Information and Discussion Thread

[DerkaDerka]

How are you guys getting exact shader clock speeds? Whenever I adjust it using rivatuner, the only levels I can set my shader clock at is 1728/1782/1836. 1782 isn't stable with the stock hs, but I'm thinking 1750 will be stable, but for some reason if I place the slider on 1750 in rivatuner (while using rivatuner hardware monitor) it registers as 1728.

Any reason why it would be doing this? I'm using Vista and the 169.04 drivers.

Does anyone know what kinda capabilities the new GTS will have and approx what UK price it will be? Is it worth sticking it out or buying the GT now?

The new 8800gts will have 128sp's like the current gtx. Considering the GT rivals the GTX in some benchmarks, I think its a pretty safe bet that the new GTS will be faster than the current GTX (or at least thats the consensus I've gathered from the forums.)

The price is suppose to be $299-$350, but if retailers have their way, the price will probably be around $350-$400. I'm getting a new 22'' monitor next week (early Christmas present ) and my 8800gt won't be enough to handle games like Crysis at 1680x1050, so I'm going to be getting the new GTS whenever they're in stock next month.

Do you have it set to link clocks?

[Christiaan]

That's because the GPU, Shaders and VRAM is tuned in increments. Judging by your post, the card increases the Shaders clock speeds in increments of 54MHz.

No, I have them unlinked.

Edit: I'm guessing there isn't a way to get the exact shader speed that I want?

Thanks for your information. DerkaDerka. I will update the list as soon as I get a chance.

Updated the 8800GT retail cards specs as more 8800GT 256 MB cards roll out.

I started a thread discussion about the RAM burning out whne OC'd too far, but it didnt get very far before it got buried, but here it is :http://www.overclock.net/nvidia/2591...iscussion.html
