Unboxing of my 9800 GT Superclocked Edition

[keepa91]

i have the Gigabyte overclocked edition with 740mhz core clock 1700 mzh shader clock and 1600 mhz memory. 40-42 C in idle and 64 C max while playing, never got above that. Works fine for me so far.

[Harrpaul]

your a rich guy or what? 85C!!! mine get's 60's C on a 90's F place all year.

She will die my friend!

[Sssagaman]

well i got myself gigabyte model and overclocked it to

- 805 gpu

- 1800 shader

- 2100 memory

voltage 1.25V

and its temperatures get high like 85°C when playing gta4 on full hd :)

It runs just great

[kydoes]

85 is on the verge of death. You're dumb.

[shonasam840]

@kydoes HAHA.. Absolutely!!

[shonasam840]

@kydoes HAHA.. Absolutely..!! :D

[ADAMskaHOLMES]

@kydoes 85 is on the verge of death? these cards made to withstand 100°C +

unless its 85°C idle with stock fan speed, thats fine

[Sssagaman]

well i forgot to say temps got that high only when playing gta and it still hasnt let me down. If that aint cool, i dont know what is :)

No need to insult me again, i got your point.

[Darkness3m0]

@Sssagaman

Seriously dude,

85°C is like, about to burst into flames hot.

Hahahah

[Sssagaman]

She is still operating at its maximum, and yes i know what 85 °C mean - edge. But i can for sure say it still is one of the best vga's for oc-ing

[kkjiikk]

@Sssagaman

wow your gpu is gonna explode or somfing that temp isnt right get a better cooling system

[Sssagaman]

@kkjiikk

Thank you all for warning messages :P .D But its fine, really. This model was Gigabyte revision 1, i gave it to my bro and lowered clocks a little (not 85°C anymore..rather 70-75) and bought myself Gigabyte revision 2...lower temps (70°Cmax but i get artifacts if wanna reach those speeds with this one and also on 1.25V.

[Sssagaman]

@kkjiikk

Respond to this video...

Max clocks with Gigabyte revision 2 9800GT:

-765 gpu

-1850 shader

-1930 mem

On 1.25 V load...70°C and idle...44-46°C

Well maybe i'll have to go from 1.15V stock to 1.30V, hehe

See ya!

[eoghan93]

no i have 2 9800gt that i overclocked to superclock spec

[eoghan93]

i just overclocked my standard 9800gts to the same spec as the overclocked edition temps stayed the same

[richie895]

there u no 9800gts r u talking about

8800gts or 9800 gtx??

[conyo985]

that's the reason why you get dual slot editions.

[brandon123g2]

you know dual 9800 can get you really good performance.

[QTRJOKER94]

My rig is

Gigabyte ep45 mobo

intel core 2 duo 3.0

2gig ram

500 gig harddrive

9500 XFX 1gig(want to replace)

is this graphics card any good ? and how does it compare to a 250?

[kydoes]

At this point if I were you, I'd save my money and wait for the next generation of nVidia cards. They always release budget ones with the expensive ones anyway so you shouldn't have to worry too much. As for your current card, It's not too special, and neither are 250s. If you want a 200 series card get the 285 or higher.

[soTendertime]

this will help me alot....thanks guys!

[soTendertime]

i have 2.0 pci

[derek1122339]

nice decision on getting the gtx+ instead its exactly what i have and runs great

[steevn606]

a umm i need to know ok like you know how a video card can be to powerfull for your mother bord or what ever like it's called the watts or what ever ok how do you know if you can put a video card in a computer with out it not working plz tell me if you know

[kydoes]

The video card should have a list of requirements your computer needs to run it.

If it says 480Watts open your computer and look at the power supply. If it's under 480Watts, chances are you're going to need a new one. Sometimes the Amperage the power supply is rated for can be too low but it's not as big of a deal.

Just make sure you have fairly nice RAM and a fairly fast CPU.

[soTendertime]

Wud that card work on my pc ..??

2 processors running - Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.20GHz , Ram 1023 MB,

and a sucky ass NVIDIA GeForce 6600 ...I dont know ANYTHING about changin graphic card

[sp4wners]

Your CPU is too weak

[kidowner]

lol....first u need to know if your motherboard has a pci express X16 or 2.0

if u dont know than check the manual of the motherboard and see from there.

[kydoes]

Your CPU is fine don't listen to sp4wners. Just make sure your FSB (Front Side Bus) speed is around 1000MHz-1600MHz to prevent bottle-necking. You may need more RAM too, get 2GB running at 800MHz or more depending on whether your mother board can handle faster RAM speeds. Other than that I'm sure your PCI slot is fine even if it's not 2.0 it's still probably x16 which is fine.

[1662235041]

please tell me what is overlocking and superlocking

[kidowner]

i think that superclocked means more overclocked than normal

[xXRocker91Xx]

No shit. It means it's overclocked above the normal speeds.

[kidowner]

huh? than what means overclocked? coz overclocked means u pust the hardware to the limits.

[xXRocker91Xx]

No, no, no...superclocked is just overclocked, "superclocked" is just the word they use to make it sound...well..."super". And overclocking is just pushing it's timings and speeds to the limits. I hope this explains it to you enough. :)

[kidowner]

oh k thx

[luian90]

haha how much was this? i got my 9800 gt for 130 dollars at best buy and i superclocked it my self hahahahaha i get even more performance for less cash.anyways what gtx did u get?

[bertucci504]

why yall use knifes? i can open it all up with my hands no problem

[naraku127]

i got this card for 115 should i sent it back for the gtx or is it not worth it

[kydoes]

I'd just keep it.

[naraku127]

but doesnt only less than 4 gigs of ram show up in 32? idk yea it doesnt seem worth it to upgrade, but maybe i will if i get the rampage 2 motherboard

[SCARREDMIND]

why dont you stick an after market cooler on it?

my experience, few places actually put the best performing coolers on, which is damn important for clocking

[Gamersunited22]

I was about to say that i got a two slot cooler on mine and when i mean two slot i mean including the card itself it takes 1x pcie 2.0 2 x pci

[UTubeSecretsExposed]

bad ass card I got them also cant wait to build my first system tomorrow NZXT Tempest Air Flow King mid tower case OCZ GameXStream 700 watt power supply EVGA 750i SLI MotherBoard 2, EVGA 9800gt superclocked edition GC Intel core 2 Quad Q9550 processor 4 Gigs Corsair Dominator ddr2 1066 Ram SamSung SpinPoint F1 1TB hard drive Rosewill RCX cpu cooler SamSung 22x DVD drive XP 64bit Operating System 3, 19" Proview monitors

[naraku127]

nice man, if i want to upgrade my vista 32 to 64 so i can put 16 gigs ram, do i have to buy the 64 bit or is there a free upgrade

[UTubeSecretsExposed]

you have to buy the 64 bit

[gschreiber94]

if there was an upgrade i doubt it would be free; and why do you need 16 gb RAM?

[ikukelas]

3D rendering, extreme overclocking...

running crysis? lawl XD

or just having an extreme setup (i would love to have 16 gigs of ram for 3D rendering)

[xX4estXx]

ya im getting the same card...

how hot does it get? cuz i got a small case

[kydoes]

Mine idled at about 58-60C

[xX4estXx]

im gY THO

[evolutionpr]

in game is like 75 for me :|

[LilDaniish]

Yes the 9800 gt is really near the same like 8800 gt, But 9800 gt is a good card: i have

Gainward 9800 gt golden sample (Superclocked version)

But a very nice card xD

[iNfx1]

XFX are more reliable than EVGA.

[leo1337hs]

evga has lifetime warranty

[iNfx1]

So do XFX. read up before you make yourself look silly :P

[leo1337hs]

fanboy

idiot lil kid

[iNfx1]

im not the one with 1337 in my name, its an obvious and fail attempt at making yourself look cool, now go to bed and stop flaming people on youtube.

[leo1337hs]

buddy go to sleep

i commented 3 days ago stop crying

[assasincomedy]

AHAHAH

[GraniteWhip]

Lmfao..

He's right. Know your facts before you talk shit.

[leo1337hs]

"Lmao.." evga is the #1 nvidia card provider fag

[GraniteWhip]

Just because they have the most customers doesn't make them #1.

In my experience, most EVGA cards run much hotter than they XFX of the same model.

[nldubish]

XFX FOR LIFE!

[GraniteWhip]

:-D

[Midossj92]

what's better a gt or a gtx?

[spidermohmd1]

gtx

[killadan8]

lol

[Tdcmproductions]

This is fucking worse than my video, go suck your moms dick

[DoraStalker]

Lol @ you. Your an ignorant hater.

[kydoes]

Dude... You're a fag.

[SoCalDude805]

Pick up the fan speed with rivatuner or evga precision software. It comes at 40%, but raised my fan speed to 60%.. not too loud for me :)

[EdLeicester]

Yeh it does, but they normally come with an adapter so you can power it with 2 molex's

[pbgodpilot]

i have this same card but, it does run dangerously hot, when playing crysis like 58 or 60 degrees celsius, but when playing cod this card runs anywhere from 120 to 280 frames a second i am not kidding and will make a vid to prove it i love this card

[kydoes]

I think so.

[cadets318]

i have the nvidia geforce 9800GT, not superclocked, it never runs hot and play games maxed, including crysis.

[solidmeijer]

can you put this on a laptop????

[kydoes]

nope

[1593247180]

The whole 9 series is just the 8 series with a die shrink, overclocking, and a new sticker- by Nvidia. The 200 series will be the new cards by Nvidia, but I would recommend waiting until the price drops a bit on those, just get a 9800 GT for now.

[Joshua444g]

i got a 9800 1gb ddr3 and it never gets hot i got a grahic card cooler for it for improved performance i sugest u do the same

[Crisis7]

I got a evga 9800 gt 512 mb for $50. Was it worth it?

[BeatJunkieMario]

Ya get riva tuner and pick up the fan speed to maybe 50% or however much noise you can tolerate. 2 of these in sli or great. I just picked up my 2nd one on newegg for about $110 =D

[TheHaloMan2009]

Its been proving that Fan speed dosnt help you change the speed of fans. It just let you see you temperatures.

[sacredscam]

i like it like you say though gets a liiitttllle hot but so was my 88-- that thing was like a damn space heater lol it would get up to about 71*c loaded so it scared the shit out of me this one is better i like it im actuly going to get another one and sli it :)

[unokilo321]

Lol yeah, I bought a BFG 9800gt oc+ and with riva tuner I found the stock fan speeds were at 30% easy fix, I keep mine at 40% when idle videos, or what ever, and when i'm playing games 100% and it's never been over 48 celcius even at load with a bit of over clocking.

[mikey0327]

he yall, i acutally own one of these, and it is real good card. it does get hot, but if you use Percision and crank the fan up, it will run just smooth. im probalby gonna SLI two of these and make my system fly. so if you have any questions about this card, message me and ill answer them for you.

[certifiedgmane]

can you overclock it anymore then what it already is

[kydoes]

yes

[certifiedgmane]

thx

[Zxuar]

Should i get this video card or the 9600GT Superclocked? what do you think

[kydoes]

This one

[tapoculos]

im still using 7800gt by evga lol

[kydoes]

HA! you think you got it bad. After I sent this back I just said screw it and kept my evga 6600.

[SeuiJaii]

hey i want to buy this graphic card but is it good on call of duty 4 high settings? sorry im a beginner

[kydoes]

Should be fine, depends on your computer though.

[lil0egy0kid]

do u think is should get this it all i can affort with a new psu but my mobo is not pci 2.0 but thats not much of a problem but im getting it for christmas would it be obsolete by then ? i have a 8600gt now and i hate it dosent run that good

[kydoes]

get the 9800GTX if you can, it's better.

[lil0egy0kid]

i would but there is stuff holding me back includeing money in general a better psu a cpu that wount bottleneck my gpu and a mobo with pci 2.0 so all in all a brand new computer

[Elcomerata]

i have geforce xfx 9800gt + call of duty 4...xD

[bl00dyh4z4rd]

im gona get this card soon but i dont kno much about pc's but im getting a 9800 but i dont kno if i should get gt or gtx because i got a vaio life pc its windows xp and it has 512mb or how ever u say it so im not sure wat i should get please reply someone i need to kno wich 1 to get

[counterkilla92893]

i bought this one today :0

[TehChangster]

haha the 9800 GT doesnt really run that hot for me...runs at like 40-58 degree celsius thats like 120 farenheit - 140 farenheit? anyway...the 9800 GT is a good card and yeah not much difference between 8800 GT except its smaller and runs kinda cooler than the 8800 GT

[counterkilla92893]

thats kinda hot :l

[kydoes]

Mine ran (Idled) at about 60-65 degrees C. That's too hot. And I shouldn't have to adjust the fan speed with nTune because making the fan run at 75% constantly will cause it to quickly fatigue and break.

[djbrandenburg]

Have you tried adjusting the fan speeds with nTune? It makes a big difference.

[V3NOMDAWG]

well if the 9800GT runs hot, the GTX+ is gonna run hotter. same gpu just more powerful with more stream processors etc... 9800GT should be cooler than the 8800GT. if it is not then you got a defective card lawl

[djbrandenburg]

the GTX+ has a better cooling system.

[kydoes]

Exactly

[CecilTTP]

The idea of the 9800 GT was to shrink the actual size of the GPU(on the 8800GT), which they did.

[V3NOMDAWG]

yeah, to make it cooler and allow it to overclock further.. idk wat he means by high temps lol

[raybbo]

hmm, i am wondering can i run a 9800gtx+ on a coolermaster 520w modulair power supply?

[utjonny10]

sure, the box says 400 watt is the minumum

[kydoes]

Pay attention to the amp requirements of the card too.

[SKull3011]

lucky you

u (will) have a sweet graphics card

[Wazp82]

i hope it´s good cuz im buying a computer with it, and it´s quiet expensive so i hope its good : /

[ninjahua]

yeah im lucky i got a 8800GT with hynix memory rated at 1.3 with not the stupid 1slot fan it smokes my brothers 9800GTX on the same system by 6-7fps on every game on crysis on 2-3 :S

[mygaffer]

Unless something is very wrong with his card even an overclocked 8800GT should not be beating a 9800GTX. If you are testing them both in the same computer, are you testing on fresh installs? If not, are you at least running driver cleaner pro in between installing each card and running it properly? You can look at benchies across the web, there is min. 15% difference among those cards. Did you maybe just write in the wrong name?

[mexboiii]

i think he was just trying to over exaggerate the power of his card. he probably doesn't even have a brother with a 9800gtx.

[bogangamer]

do u advise 2 with no case fans???...lol

[kirokw]

is it better than the radeon 4850??

[jerwin100]

nope

[worshipme213]

No, it's the same as the 8800GT.

[mygaffer]

I don't know why the guy who said "nope" got a minus one from someone, I thumbs-up'd him to 0. The 9800GT is NOT better than the 4850. So why show disapproval for someone telling the truth? I don't understand people sometimes.

[theskateguy16]

fuck the 9800gt fuck the 8800gt

why dont you all just get a gtx260 or 280

and you will all be happy i promise

[kydoes]

for people who don't want to spend money on like 4 other parts to make their computers compatible the 8800 isn't bad. not to mention thoes cost like $400-500

[burr40]

since their way more expensive...

[Rontrix0JAcko]

9800GT and the 8800GT are different!

9800GT has a Physics card built on the card and the 8800GT doesn't support it.

also 9800GT are $50 cheaper then 8800GT

[kydoes]

well, in the benchmarks they are quite similar

[burr40]

lol? 9800gt does not have a physx card... it is faster yes but they are physx DRIVERS that the 8800 series can run as well

[shewasahooa]

Shut the fuck up! The 8800GT is more expensive and is not as overclock-able. Idiots that know little about computers post these idiotic comments just because they have this card. Go and fuck yourselves.

[kydoes]

Don't be such a douchebag. the 8800 is very similar.

[mygaffer]

Yeah, seriously, don't be such a douche.

[flamingaxe791]

Dont waste your money on a 9800 gt its the same as a 8800 gt

[kydoes]

almost

[burr40]

runs cooler and slightly higher clocks, cooler=overclock=faster

[kydoes]

it's already overclocked

[flamingaxe791]

the 8800 gt kicks ass so hard!

[caiosimp]

I have a EVGA 6800GS (23cm length) but i'm planning to get a EVGA 8800GT.

But since i knew 9800's were coming i decided to wait a lil bit more...

what are the average temps of this 9800GT and the size in centimeters?

Thanks

[zenniz1992]

By the way ,whats your Mobo and PSU since you have the 6800GS previously installed.

[caiosimp]

Huntey 550W - Only one PCi-X pin

A8N-E - Unfortunately it is not PCi-X 2.0

Thanks

[kydoes]

If I were you I'd get a good 8800 or a 9800GTX, you may have to upgrade your PSU for the 9800GTX and your RAM speed should exceed 800MHz.

[caiosimp]

Why would i need at least 800Mhz ram speed?

I think a 9GTX wouldn't work due to its length (Thermaltake Soprano) and my cpu, which is an AMD A64X2 2.350Mhz (350 oc'ed).

Thanks for replying.

[kydoes]

well RAM speed and even CPU speed determine if your card will get bottlenecked or not. the faster the speeds the less bottlenecking.

[caiosimp]

Yes. I'm aware of it, but what exactly i meant asking about the ram speed is in what circumstances you have based to reach this conclusion of 800Mhz at least.

Thx

[kydoes]

Well the RAM the computer had that I tried this card in, was 400Mhz (Lame) and it made almost no difference in game fps. I am assuming that sense 800 is a little better than average today it should provide enough speed/bandwidth. you could always get faster RAM than that if you are too worried.

[caiosimp]

Ok. Seems more clear now.

Thanks for your support man, really apprecieted.

[Rontrix0JAcko]

how much did you pay for the 9800GT?

[kydoes]

$170

[d9vj6e]

reason of getting hot buy 9800GTX its good

[anonymous345]

are you sure you want a huge dual slot card like my 9800 GTX+? it takes up a ton of space and needs 2 PCI-E six pin connectors

[kydoes]

the power supply im getting has 2 6+2Pin PCI connectors
