Guest EVIL-SCOTSMAN Posted March 9, 2006 Posted March 9, 2006 Well peeps today is the day, the nvidia 7900gtx and a few others hits the shelves, some rig makers are offering quad sli, like alienware and dell and a couple others. so who gonna be geting one of the new cards, 7600 256mb = meant to be great cheap card. 7900gt, supposldy just a tad faster than the 7800gtx 256mb and the daddy of them all, the 7900gtx 512mb... as i type this, I am in the process of trying to acquire 1 7900gtx 512. 2 is a waste and i see that now with my 78s. so any takers on 1 brand new agp 6800gt still boxed and warrantied and also 1 7800gtx, less than 2 months old. if there is any european takers and not usa, as its not viable for usa buyers to buy it due to the funny money that you lot use... 6800gt 256mb = agp 6 months old but only used to test if it works and then boxed back up. 7800gtx 256mb = pci-e and also brand new in january. pm me if you are interested in any of the cards above.
Sleek Posted March 9, 2006 Posted March 9, 2006 What make is the 6800gt scotty? Be Good..Be Strong..:drink: ;)
Guest EVIL-SCOTSMAN Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 msi, real nice card, the fan has an adjustable rpm switch, but why i dunno as you would need to open the case to move it. the 68 never ever been OC'd as I only had it for 2 days before i got my uber rig, thus the thing went back into its box. but its a msi nx6800gt 256. with a shitload of freebie software. it isnt that gainward 68 GS that i gave you the roof from, that be dead long time baby..
Andrew_McP Posted March 10, 2006 Posted March 10, 2006 Well, I've just been looking at ebay pricing up a 9700Pro for my 2nd box. That'd set me back about £55. I suppose I could stretch to £60 for an AGP 6800gt... Sorry, what was that? No need to swear! ;-) Andrew McP PS You have the best collection of spare vid cards I've ever seen! :-)
anivanov Posted March 11, 2006 Posted March 11, 2006 6800gt 256mb = agp 6 months old but only used to test if it works and then boxed back up. how much it is?
Guest EVIL-SCOTSMAN Posted March 11, 2006 Posted March 11, 2006 you give up an offer in uk pounds and i will say yes or no, if its anything like nubs (jk) previous offer above of £60, then dont post. http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=1762 thats the card, although the one shown is the pci-e version, its exactly the same as the agp version that i have...
Prophet_169th Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 Came in today YEAH!. Now I didnt expect all that great of gains, considering I had a 7800GT. But 3d06 hints otherwise. Here are some pics of the package, and install: I had been messing with some overclocking before the card came. Got my x2 4400+ to 230MHzx11, Vcore @ 1.425 the HT @ x4. Mem is still DDR400. I have the PCI express bus overclocked to 120MHz. Using coolbits the BFG 7800GT auto-detects best overclock @ 469/1140. I just swapped the graphics cards, and drivers installed no problem. I used the 84.21 for both cards. Ran the coolbits again, and the XFX 7900GTX clock to 682/1720. Here are the 3d06 results. Results in Lock on are impressive so far. About 40FPS on ground, some places depending on view it gets to 20's. Not a whole lot of testing yet. 1600x1200 res. High textures, everything up but vis on med.
NEODARK Posted March 30, 2006 Posted March 30, 2006 seems I'm doing a bit better than you on this one (your CPU is holding you back a bit) :p 7900GTX (yes picture is upside down) And, here's one I took before install: click on image again once it loads (to make normal size) Also a 3DMark Score http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=205528 (score = 6581) @ stock clocks of 675/850 Lockon runs good I guess, it's still CPU bound. (good thing is turning EVERYTHING on, including 4xTSAA 16AF is just peachy) Here's an in-game shot of the settings above (yes I had a little mishap) ;) Nice spelling on it too "Hydrolics Faliure" :p click on image again once it loads (to make normal size) Nice cards, aren't they?
Prophet_169th Posted April 1, 2006 Posted April 1, 2006 Your processor is about 300MHz faster, and you have better memory. I must say though, I am plenty happy with this card. 1600x1200 AA x8, AFx16, set to best image quality. And I still get 30fps on the tarmac and over cities, and well into the 50's in the air. Odd thing is, I can turn the AA and AF down, turn the resolution down, still the same FPS.
Pilotasso Posted April 1, 2006 Posted April 1, 2006 Cool (literaly) setup you got there prophet. Mini tower but full of gadgets. Is your cougar MOD'ed or did you just remove the rubber at the base of the stick? .
Shaman Posted April 1, 2006 Posted April 1, 2006 Okey, now turn OVC clouds on ;) and fly right under it's base, where the visibility is already gettin obscured by those small transparent clouds 51PVO Founding member (DEC2007-) 100KIAP Founding member (DEC2018-) :: Shaman aka [100☭] Shamansky tail# 44 or 444 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 100KIAP Regiment Early Warning & Control officer
Prophet_169th Posted April 2, 2006 Posted April 2, 2006 What is OVC? And yeah, I just removed the boot. I did it after we got 1.2 beta, it was kinda difficult to fly and control, I removed the boot, and I am very pleased. Larger range of motion, and less tension as you move the stick from center. I highly recommend it, especially since its just a few screws.
Guest EVIL-SCOTSMAN Posted April 2, 2006 Posted April 2, 2006 well, to stick my tuppence in, the 7900gtx is a good card, but it isnt as good as the 2 78s i had in here previously :( I could only afford one, cuz i never got any of my 78s sold, but i will not be buying another 79, i am waiting for the dx10 8 series to come out... on a lighter note, my physics ppu will be arriving shortly ( ordered it from AW, the only place i could actually get one from), along with one of the only games to support it, ghost recon advanced warfighter ( when its released in may), so here's hopeing it was worth it... also treated meh self to an xbox 360 fully loaded ? ( i dont know whats the difference between the normal 360 and the fully loaded version except one has a harddrive and the other doesnt, but surely the difference in price cannot be just cuz of a hdd )with ghost recon advanced warfighter ( the only reason i bought the 360 in the first place, as i cant wait til may for the pc version) and far cry instincts... so the next few days is gonna feel like xmas again :D
NEODARK Posted April 3, 2006 Posted April 3, 2006 Odd thing is, I can turn the AA and AF down, turn the resolution down, still the same FPS. because like I said/... Lockon is CPU limited, your GPU is perfectly fine, but you dotn get more FPS due to the CPU being the choke point. Also if your memory is not up to par, run asynch, its not a problem for A64's. You want the highest possible clock on the CPU, thats king for these processors. And WTF, why does scotts man have an 80%? did the mods get a stick up their butts? Oh and scottsman, its a good thing you got the premium, much better than the standard (which is useless with no HD)
