I just got my 8800GT from EVGA, the normal version with no overclocking, and GPU-z says 650 for the core, 950 for the memory, and 1625 for the shader clocks. Anyone else see this?

I got the same thing. I got the normal version from EVGA and riva tuner 2.06 is reading my card as 650/1625/950...I thought it was some sort of error with the older riva version but the 2.06 says that...interesting.

Does that mean rivatuner is messed up or you got lucky? My original 8800gt from my setup will be here in five days ;( I hope mine is overclocked.

From what I've read, you can crank your GT to 728/1050 stable and get 3DMark06 scores of around 12,246 which beats a stock GTX. really amazing for a $260 card. Just use RivaTuner to overclock it. If you want to know how, just Google "RivaTuner Tutorial". Once you know how, it's VERY easy.

I spoke to the tech support guy at EVGA and he said that there is NO PHYSICAL DIFFERENCE between their stock card and their SSC Card ($30 more) except for a pretty sticker on the card and on the box. It's really just a gimmick for people that don't know how to OC.

They just factory OC and bios flash that will make ur card run hot when not gaming. Better off with stock.

Hatman,

Yes, but why flash your BIOS? You want to run your card as slow as it will go when just doing desktop apps to keep the fan quiet and the gpu cool and then crank it up when playing games. That's easy to do with RivaTuner and no BIOS flashing required.

Do I really want to listen to a 100% fan when I'm just surfin the web? Nope. Gimme stock and RivaTuner any day.

How are they going to tell ? All they require is that the card is returned in its original box in its original cosmetic condition ie no stickers/aftermarket fans etc.
So if it looks exactly like it did when you installed it its all good.
If you do something like flashing the bios then they would know but normal ocing is done in software so ther is no physical evidence it was ever done(unless you fry it of course) :lol:

Can you replace the stock cooler if you replace it with an aftermarket

Hey guys, what would be the benefit of flashing the BIOS on the card? I have been trying to OC mine for a while and I have had no look. I am just using RivaTuner and just moving the Core and Memory speeds, not touching the Shader Clock speeds, and haven't had much luck.

I have the Stock EVGA 8800GT, I put it up to 625/950, and it artifacts. Any suggestions? Thanks.
