Not a chance in hell. This thing gets upto 80*C under heavy load.

tims880 said:Thats not a bad cpu. What is she running at ? OC the crap out of her!
mike686 said:Ok I ran shadermark, and it made a text file, what did you guys want to know about shadermark?
mike686 said:I've tried overclocking it, but even going 5MHz up on the FSB will cause it not to boot. I think its the PC3200 RAM I have.
__hollywood|meow said:sorry, i know this is OT.. but can't you put it on a divider? a64s don't mind dividers.. you could keep your pc3200 @ stock that way.
interesting thread by the way.. and that's a BIG card.
tims880 said:Ok You have the baddest of bad video card!!!! You need to get that cpu rocking.
JethroXP said:mike686 seriously derserves an award for hanging with this thread so long and responding to a gazillion requests for different types of benchies.
Nice effort man, we all appreciate it. Congrats on getting such a sweet card so early. I can't wait to get my hands on one too.
mike686 said:This one's for you sillyeagle:
FEAR, 1600x1200, 4xAA, 16xAF, all settings maxed except soft shadows.
Not much different than having soft shadows on, is it?

Siconik said:One last thing (if you are still around)
Can you use the AF tester:

...and take a screenshot of HQ 16AF?
Again, thanks so much for all work ...

Siconik said:Sorry, forgot this part: N(ormal) = 4Z/S; Q(ality) = 8Z/S... So, 16xN takes 4 Z/s samples (like 4xMSAA) but does 16xAA on the edges, while 16x8 takes 8 z/s samples.
dR.Jester said:Heh, after looking at the pics again on the 2nd page. How come the picture of the card on the box doesn't match the one that is real?
Matas said:I didn't expect that single core cpu can so bottleneck GTX in 3DMarks. With dual core cpus we should see much higher results in SM2.0, SM3.0/HDR tests...
Brahmzy said:So wierd about the 3DMark stuff.
My single 7900GT did 11,2XX in '05 and 6,7XX in '06 . . .
I don't get it.
RiZnO said:10 pages already whew... didnt see it asked, how much did you pay? MsRp?
dnottis said:Sorry to say this but your 8800GTX is wasted due to being severly CPU limited. I just went from a x2 3800@ 2 Ghz to C2d @ 3.5 Ghz and my 7950 GX2 was being choked.
