Very nice. That's what a factory oced 7800GTX scores with a decent chip.

 

[TraumaRN]

Stock cooling actually, from a no name company(Albatron) However my case, is extremely well ventilated, i have 4 80mm's fans, a 120mm, I punched out the PCI slot covers above and below the card to allow even more air into the case, in that I have it OCed at the speeds in my sig and it still idles at 39-42C and loads up no higher than 60C. I've decided to ask for a aftermarket cooler for X-mas from relatives and see how she does then, although I'm also debating making my own cooling system to be hooked up to the outside winter air to see if I can push it further.

I've had it stable for nearly all 3 3D mark 05 tests at 515/1300(!!!:shocked: ) I imagine if I can keep this sucker a little cooler it'll stablize out.

Albatron is not a "no name" company.

EDIT: 7545 with X2 3800 @2.4 and 7800GT.

 

[tvdang7]

Well at least in video cards no one ever recommends them....it's always eVga and BFG et al. so at the time of purchase I didnt even know they sold video cards til I saw it on the Egg for 329 after a $20 MIR

hey what are avg overclocks on this card. anandtech seems to be like around 470 ish core right?

 

[TraumaRN]

450 would be reasonable, 470 probably too, memory wise 1150-1200, although it's gonna vary on your case, cooling, stable power from the mobo and PSU etc...

I mean I have an insanely good overclocking 7800GT so I probably just got a really nice core and mem on my GPU...

 

[tvdang7]

yes u do u are blessed

When I first got my 7800GT:
Athlon64 3000+ s754 @ 2.4ghz (10x240)
MSI K8N Neo3-F (nForce4-4x)
2gb ram (super generic pc3200, 1gb sticks) @ 200mhz 2.5-3-3-7 1T
BFG 7800GT OC (492/1180)
Forceware v78.11

3dmark05 - 7749
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=1157432


Then I upgraded to:
Opteron 165 s939 @ 2.6ghz (9x290)
DFI SLI Infinity (nForce4)
2gb ram (super generic pc3200, 1gb sticks) @ 185mhz 2.5-3-3-7 1T
BFG 7800GT OC (493/1180)
Forceware v81.85

3dmark05 - 8222
Can't publish this score, probably because 3dmark05 doesn't recognize my Opt165.

 

[tvdang7]

holy crap..... cpu and dual channel really matters? that could mean the differnce between HW and high performance. not bad

[Rage187]

I have 2gb OCZ Platinum in DC.

7800GT is BFG so comes pre overclocked.

 

[kamranziadar]

I am using latest 81.85 from nvidia. I can still push the core and memory, i will repost my result with some more testing.

I can push my CPU also easily upto 2.8GHZ, but that will not effect on the 3DMARK05 Score.

 

[kamranziadar]

Ok i just saw new drivers from NVIDIA 81.94. I will download it tonight and run 3DMARK05 and post my new score. These drivers looks promising.
