But have you tried rasing the voltage/speed on your VF700 to see if the better cooling helps. If it does you know its a heat problem and can go from there.
VF700 at 5 volts is not that much cooling. What temps do you get when you bumb up the core? Does raising the voltage get rid of the problems? I don't think that the ATITool artifact tester works 100% with the 7900GT so I would double check with other programs to test for stability/artifacts. Run...
When you word it like that I would have to agree. I kind of liked the 7800GT since I have a 7900GT and they are quite close in temps. But a X1900XT(X) is missing since they are the hottest/fastest cards around.
It does not. It shows the stock cooler giving a bit better temps but no way it shows it as more silent. You must have seen wrong. I see nothing wrong with the results. A loud fast spinning fan against Zalmans quiet slow moving fan I would figure gives these exact results.
I am very unhappy with my stock cooler on my 7900GT (555/800, no volt mod).
Golgatha: If you had taken the time to read the review you would have noticed he tested the card inside a case with only 1 slow moving fan as cooling. That makes the test valid in my opinion. Granted a X1900XTX...
ForceWare 84 Series Roundup@www.ngohq.com
Since nobody in this thread seems to want to do anything ill just link to a relevant test of the different drivers. For those to lazy to read: no the 84.43 does not give any performance improvements except for the latest tombraider just like it is...
jmke from www.madshrimps.be writes in his latest VGA Cooler Roundup April 2006:
I have not been able to confirm if any of the suggested solutions actually work for me or if they work for 7900GT cards at all. But I figured they look interesting enough to give them a try. Please report back if...
How do you monitor your temps? Have you logged them and checked? If you leave a 3d app before you check temps it will go down drastically in seconds. So you need to log them or use a program like rthdribl that lets you monitor while running (or use two screens). Granted I have a low airflow...
