Evga 6800 plain version
« on: February 05, 2005, 08:41:28 PM »
Well after some testing with the plain evga 6800 , i have pulled it from the system and returned it . I had issues with image quality and  anti aliasing performance . I did most of my testing offline and it worked great . online with other planes , was a different story. I had many split second frezzes and pretty poor fps with AA enabled . It is prolly due to the lower quality ram that the plain 6800's use.  I have ordered a x 800 pro and ill let you all know the outcome of that . I installed the 6800 on this system AMD 64 3400+ @ 2.4 ghz,  512 CL 2 corsair ram, 430 antec true power, on its own power chain. Clean install of xp home .  

Now i have reinstalled my 9800 pro for the time being, and with 2 or 4 times AA it out performs the 6800 in image quality and smooth game play . I cant say that this a scientific benchmarking of AH2 between these two card , i just wanted to let people with 9800pro's know that the plain 6800 (non GT non ultra) wasnt a good upgrade path for me.     38

512 ram is probably why you didnt see a performance increase. I have a 6800 regular and its pretty nice.

You may have had a bad card, or corrupt driver, because the 6800 vanilla runs cirlces around the 9800pro......but of course AH2 is so CPU bound, youd not see a big diff.

What x800 are you getting....some of them are pretty $$$$ for the performce.

After correcting the no brainers I'm very happy with my X800 pro (gigabyte GV-R80P256D)...runs AH with everything maxed out (512 texture) and is usually pegged at 75 (monitor refresh)...it'll dip around a porked field but is always smooth as silk. What amazes me is how conservative the clocking is on it. I've got it up from 475/900 to 550/1100 with almost no temp increase and zero artifacts... benchmarks ~11580 in 3Dmark03 and 64000+ in aquamark at the higher clocking....

I didnt see a 256 mg 6800 for less than the $389 I paid for the X800 pro....truthfully not sure how big a difference the 128 vs 256 is...from the various benchmarking I looked at the X800 seemed a bit better bang for the buck....

Athlon 64 3200+
DFI lanparty 754 socket board
1 gig PC3200 Ram

All running at stock settings (cept VC as mentioned above)....

what would 512 of ram have to do with it?... i preload 512 textures and still have 240 megs free , i have another stick of CL 2.5 pc3200 and adding it to the system makes absolutly no difference.

a visiontek X800pro  399 us
as far as a 6800 runnin circles around a 9800 pro , in all the benches u are right , but with AA in ah2 the 9800 runs better in my machine . as far as a corrupt driver , it was a clean install of xp with 2 different drivers tried ..   38
