i just got my gts, and im not quite impressed, first of all
i run the source stress test on my gts at max details, no aa, trillinear, at 1024*768... on my 1550 i got 95fps, on gts i get 150fps.... pretty bad....
crysis demo: run high, i think its below 20 most of the time.... 1024*768
CoH: dx10, everything max, 1024*768, no aa, min FPS like 16, avg, 35, max 65
also i run the human head tech demo and i get 5 fps ITS POOR PERFORMANCE in that demo... im gunna run the cascades and other tech demos now, then ill run 3dmark 06
WAIT WAIT WAIT.... I JUST REINSTALLED DRIVERS AND RAN HUMAN HEAD, IT RAN "GOOD" not terrible like last time... i must not get my hopes up.... im gunna run a few more benchmarks before i can confirm i fixed the problem.... oh boy i hope it runs normally .... cause i dont want to give xfx a bad word and exchange it
hmmm CoH same framerate, human head was big improvement but in coh, this time at 1280*1024, i got min 15 max 60 avg 33... so kinda the same, also my monitors max res is 1280*1024... ill be getting lcd after...
why is anti alaising, so stressfull on this gpu, i run human head with 1x aa, and it runs decent, i up the res to 1280*1024 with aa at 1.5x, and it runs terrible!!!
then cascades with 4x aa, it runs decent, i turn it off and its over 60 frames..

i ran company of heroes test in dx9 mode this time, my average was 100fps and max was 180
but when i looked up reveiws the average is 180 and max was 300fps!.....
i also see gts 320meg beating this card...
also.... when i was playing crysis, the frame rates droped below 10 i believe and it stayed there, it also just keeps getting worse and worse.... 1280*1024 no aa high..
i seen youtube video where a guy was using the 320meg version, running the human head tech demo at 1600*1200 2xaa
....
i cant even run it at 1024*768 with 1.5xaa, it runs sooooo choppy, AND i have the "better version".... g92
i mean CHECK OUT THE COH bench http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-reviews/3635-xfx-8800gts-512mb-g92-alpha-dog-edition-review-7.html

I have the EVGA version of the card and it sure handles Crysis better then yours. I play at 1600x1200 with all high and no AA and get somewhere around 30 FPS. You did delete the old drivers before installing the new ones right? That could cause the problem.
apparently theres a LCD moniter witha native res of 2560xXXX that actually looks good at non native res
might save up for that

Gateway XHD3000? I'd love to have one, but the price tag is more than that of my entire gaming computer! As for the TC, perhaps that Athlon X2 4600+ is holding you back a bit...but you did say that a driver reinstall really helped with your performance. Perhaps you can uninstall the drivers, going so far as to clean them out with a driver-cleaning app, and then reinstall once more to find out if you get a further performance boost or not? (You may also want to try the 169.44 beta drivers to increase Crysis performance.)

no i thought, first of all, i run human head no aa= 50fps+.... then i turn on aa just on 2x and it goes below 5fps.... :
also i was playing crysis and it droped down below 10 frames sometimes and doesnt go up....
I noticed you said you have 3 gigs of ram. What kind of configuration is that? If that's 3x 1-gig sticks, wouldn't that mean dual channel mode is off? Try yanking out a stick and see if your memory bandwidth jumps. Make sure it's the right stick to yank out. The other remaining 2 should be in the same colored slots.
For some reason I have a feeling it may be something other then your GTS card.
[QUOTE="X360PS3AMD05"]Or it could be what they call "canned benchmarks" and in real games you won't get the same FPS (this is what hardocp cries about)Riki101
i dont care about bench, the frame rates are bad in both bench and real-world... i doubt its the memory.
and gts is running 51 degrees on load, wth suppose to run at like 64 degrees,

my gts is odd
Your complaining your system is cold?
yep, as its not normal... its good to have it at that temp but not normal....
i removed 1 stick so its dual channel i installed beta drivers
What are you running your fan at? It is most probably your CPU though. At those reselutions your CPU will hold you back the most so I wouldn't be suprised if after a return you see no difference.
im pretty sure an 8600gts, a mid range card can handle bioshock with no slow downs.... well... mine slowed down, hic ups frequently when theres particles...

"I just ran the Company of Heroes demo and got an average of 41 FPS. I could hit 60s with the 7950GX2. Something is definitely wrong. but I'm not sure what else to try. If anyone has some scores with a 8800GTS they can post as a comparispn it would be appreciated.
[QUOTE="Wesker776"]What CPU do you have?X360PS3AMD05
4600+ x2 3 gig ram.. drivers installed,
- Your CPU could be bottlenecking your card. For example, Hardware Canucks had their Q6600 at 3.50GHz. - Your RAM may not be set-up in dual channel mode, which hampers memory bandwidth. - Your GPU may not be getting all 16 PCIe lanes from the PCIe slot. Download GPU-Z and check the "Bus Interface" tab.

i took out a stick, its dual channel, still no fix... its 16 lanes yes, i downloaded gpu-z and checked, i also noticed bandwidth, pixle fillrate, ect is lower the hardware cannucks,
the human head isnt CPU intensive AT ALL.. remember 1xSS it runs great, but 1.5 it runs HORRIBLE, how is that cpu bottleneck? thats more or less the video card....
i also seen some people that have a 3800+ and get better scores then me :
wow his gt just pooned my gts.. thats it. tomarrow ill be exchanging it, if its the same performance, odd, ill be changing mobo ram and cpu anyway, so we will see... hopefully its not the psu

You should really stop looking at what other people can do with their cards. You can't compare overclocked cards to stock cards. You also can't compare two different cards with every other part of the system being different. Even cards of the exact same model/manufacture are going to run slightly different. All these videos are absolutely worthless for seeing if your card is good/bad.
That being said, you have basically checked all the other parts of your PC. Hopefully you got XFX or EVGA and the return should be pretty simple and quick.
The whole point of going with evga is really their step up program. If you can have the count down to step up start when you get the card from them then it probably is a good idea. Other wise there may not be much point in switching.
