we had already published first benchmark Of geForce 8800 GTX aome time ago, and since the well-known Shanghai buyer of engineering models on the name Of victorWang get the video card geForce 8800 GTX. we got a high end system which has the possessor of the engineering model four core processor core 2 Quad q6600 (2.4 GHz) stepping B3. Here is the screen shot of this processor working at the frequency 3.6 GHz:
It is necessary to say that VictorWang did not hurry to cover the Internet with long waited screen shot with tests results Of geForce 8800 GTX. First it demonstrated photograph of this card, then it demonstrated its . and finaly it explained to impatient participants in the forum xtremeSystems, that it has much work to do for the possibility to buy expensive hardware. As a result the first session of tests was limited 3DMark05 and 3DMark06.
Let us give the descriptions of the most characteristic tests. We recall that in the default rating video card operates at frequencies 575/1800 MHz, the shader unit Of video chip g80 in this case operates at the frequency of 1350 MHz.
- Core 2 Extreme x6800 (3883 MHz), geForce 8800 GTX (575/1800 MHz) - > 19 114 points in 3DMark05;
- Core 2 Extreme x6800 (3706 MHz), geForce 8800 GTX (575/1800 MHz) - > 11 314 points in 3DMark06;
- Core 2 Extreme x6800 (3883 MHz), geForce 8800 GTX (655/2100 MHz) - > 20 825 points in 3DMark05;
- Core 2 Extreme x6800 (3817 MHz), geForce 8800 GTX (660/2080 MHz) - > 12 645 points in 3DMark06;
- Core 2 Quad q6600 (3600 MHz), GeForce 8800 GTX (655/2080 MHz) - > 13 717 points in 3DMark06.
As you see, the chip geForce 8800 GTX was overclocked to 655-660 MHz, but this still not limit. According to some data, without the chip modifications, g80 is capable to be overclocked to the frequencies of more than 700 MHz. The overclocking potential of memory is already close to the limit - for GDDR- E frequency 2100 MHz DDR is serious testing. However, the progress in geForce 8800 GTX overclocking is now only at the beginning and new result and record will fellow.
Focus attention, how changed result in 3DMark06 after transfer from processor core 2 Extreme (3.8 GHz) to the processor core 2 Quad q6600 (3.6 GHz) with four core: with the almost constant frequencies video card a increase in the performance comprised more than 1000 points. we can feel the effect from the optimization of this benchmark under polynuclear processors.
There is doubt that new benchmark and overclocking results of GeForce 8800 GTX will appear in the network soon. . associates assert that the standard design for GeForce 8800 GTX was developed by the company asus. Colleagues from site the inquirer are assured that the recommended price Of geForce 8800 GTS can be lowered from $499 to $449. It cannot be excluded that on this price video card they will appear after saturation of market in the American stocks, which love to draw buyer by special reductions. For the present more than facts speaks in favor of the speculative nature of prices on the video card series geForce 8800. Related Products :
