8800GT SLI / XP / Oblivion 1280 & 1024

[cotyslick]

aww dude my 8400 had better fps upgrade your cpu (effects performence alot) dont window ur game update any drivers and defragment your hdd

[jabcreations]

@cotyslick It's called FRAPS.

[cotyslick]

@jabcreations wtf are you talking about bro?

[jabcreations]

@cotyslick FRAPS reduces the performance when recording, that or I could have (three years ago) recorded this with the web cam everyone hates.

[cotyslick]

@jabcreations IK i make vids with fraps. but your not recording with fraps are u?

[jabcreations]

@cotyslick It should be pretty obvious which videos were recorded with FRAPS and which ones weren't.

[cotyslick]

@jabcreations i like the vid but i just told you some ways to raise fps :) are you recording your webcam with fraps? i can tell you free webcam software to record great quality in pm if u want.

[jabcreations]

@cotyslick I'm good thanks.

[Ienjoyinlife]

sli comes wit its power at high resolution, not at 1024 or 1280, at 16xx res man

[Hunger4Power]

My single 8800GT gets 60 FPS outdoors with 16xQAA and 16xAF enabled along with HDR @ 1680x1050.

Try updating your drivers and the game.

[Ienjoyinlife]

lol, not even in SLi man, i got 8800GT so i know

[Camthalion00]

You should be getting MUCH better FPS than that... try no AA and a higher resolution.

[NismoTyler]

I agree with the few people that have suggested your system may not be performing as it should. I run Oblivion at your res. with 3.25gb ram, quad core, and one Evga 8800GT SC and get better fps than that. I just ordered another Evga 8800GT SC today and will test SLi vs. yours when it gets here...good luck man!

[kiikasi]

It looks as if your in windowed mode. In windowed mode, the drivers think your on your desktop so lower the clock speeds on the card. If you go to fullscreen mode, the fps boost would be amazing! Just some advice.

[Nwovance]

theres something wrong with your system mate lol

i got iNNo3D 8800gt overclocked

i turn everything on max and get a better fps than that

[NGT2O6]

i play everything maxxed noAA 1680x1050 average 60 fps, watch my video. Man i wonder whats up with your pc :P

[halfcraft]

looks crap lol and slow load and looks slow too

i could do better witha 8600gt and 3.2ghz

[ninjahua]

hey im a 8800gt owner to! i have the asus glaciator and... i have a problem... i cant see the gpu temps.. the programs i have used is rivatuner/atitool/ntune and nView... all programs shows 0... and i dont think this is ok...

[jabcreations]

What is your motherboard/chipset?

[ninjahua]

P5N-E SLi 650

E6300@3.2GHz

EN8800GT

2x1GB Corsair xms2 dhx ram @1050MHz

THERMALTAKE Toughpower 650watts

i dont now what to do i searched on google and i found something about sensors and other stuff but i dont have any idea what to do :S

[jabcreations]

My old Thermaltake 500 came with a front panel that displayed watts being used. The Gigabyte Odin GT 800 watt PSU I purchased to replace the 500 (both of which frigin died on me!) came with lots of cool sensors though ended up not working after a week. Have you read the manual?

[ninjahua]

if u are talking about my gpu i have found that the ASus 8800gt with the big fan is using new sensor and they have some program called smartdoctor.. im gonna try to find it

[MXhm91]

Opteron CPU is bottlenecking there..

[Hypnokoala]

On my old X1950 Pro I got 30+ fps on V. High settings at 1280 x 1024 I guess that that was without AA but still It doesn't sound like ure gettin the best performance there.

[scottb80]

Yeah I play Oblivion with my single 8800GT overclocked to 712mhz core/999mhz memory/1782mhz shader clock. I play with HDR, 4xAA, 16xAF 1280x1024. I get FPS between 30FPS up to 78FPS and average probably 55-60FPS. Thats with a Q6600 clocked to just 2.7ghz.

[x3sphere]

What CPU do you have?

Performance is terrible for a 8800GT. On my 8600GT I get higher FPS than you with 2X AA and HDR turned on at 1280x720. Everything else maxed too.

CPU is AMD X2 5000+

[jabcreations]

CHANNEL SIDEBAR! For the five hundredth time!

[ninjahua]

x3sphere

how can u play oblivion with hdr and AA on at the same time?!?!?!?

[jabcreations]

Someone mentioned (though I have yet to test) forcing AA on in the nVidia control panel and then choosing HDR. You have to have an 8xxx series card however as 7xxx isn't physically capable I recall reading?

[555junkie555]

Your system is bottlenecking those 8800's

[jabcreations]

Notepad still works great though.

[wizkid22]

you should say that u have a amd not a core 2

[magicaltrevor1989]

1680x1050 max everything AND 2x AA

I get 40-120 fps (inside or out) dips to 30 in fog and when i put 4x AA on!

You need some serious drivers or SLI is deciding to be ghey.

(my cpu is 3.6GHz core 2 duo)

[zytekfan]

I hate how NVIDIA still won't let HDR + AA happen in Oblivion :(

[linwoodskivins]

What are your specs?

[jabcreations]

See the left side bar on my channel where I update specs as I upgrade.

[blackhawk777]

i heard a good GFX card will not have a small pause in between loading of a new area. in the video there were pauses.

[blackhawk777]

what r ur specs?

[Ledzepp9000]

First off do you have the standard gt also what do you overclock yours to.

[foxxylink]

what kind of fps do you get with just a single card?

[Flugpappret]

30-40% less

[fauldes]

in oblivion, about the same fps

[aberkae]

another question do you get increased frames per sec when running sli in oblivion? under the same settings?

[jabcreations]

It'd be easier to answer if nVidia drivers didn't piss me off (restarts *JUST* to switch between dual-view and SLI?!?!) With so many requests I need a little time to confirm all of this.

[aberkae]

yo its me agian about sli question what do you use to oc your second card

i have ntune and riva tuner any suggestions

i got my gts 8800 @ 644/900 but again i dont know if its for both cards currenly have sli enabled

im going to run 3d ark 06 with sli and without in vista 64 bit os and compare but let me know plz thanksz brother.

[jabcreations]

I'm simply using the nVidia nTune/Control Panel (that can't decide it's name, if features will appear, and etc).

When I overclocked my cards I did them separately to find out if I could get a balanced OC in SLI.

3DMark06 seems to only benefit the Canyon Flight test which does not give it as much of a boast as desired. Can anyone with Crossfire let us know how ATI cards perform?

[ExtraTerrestrials]

yeah make a vid of 3dmark06 plz

[jabcreations]

It's a bit time consuming but I'll try if I have the time.

[notta3d]

Did you try 3dmark? Curious to see what your score would be.

[jabcreations]

Card 1: 650/950

3DMark06 default Score: 9921

Card 1 OC: 705/1005

3DMark06 default: 10058

Card 2: 650/950

Card 2 OC: 701/1001

3DMark06 default: 10028

SLI Attempt #1

Default Clock: 9889
