The performance of my new 6800 GT disappointed me....
I am disappointed from my new card 6800 GT (agp slot).I had an ATI 9800 PRO card and i decide to change with a nvidia.But the performance of 6800 in the games are poor .For example in Final Fantasy XI i have 18-25 fps!!and lags (with ati the performance was better).The same happen and with THE CHRONICLES OF RIDDICK(with all settings full) i have a little better performance from nvidia against ati but the cards power deference is huge and the fps deference was only about 5-7 fps.I made format and clean install windows Xp PROF SP2 the latest drivers in everything. but nothing happened.Whats going on?I dont think that 6800 gt is so weak.Any idea?My system is...
P4 2.6 HP @800 1 GB 3200 MB MSI 875P VGA 6800 GT 256 MB (drivers forceware 71.84) Soundcard audigy2 My benchmarks results in 3Dmarks is normal. |

http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/...iddick_perf_2/ Take a look at those two, and see how close your performance is... Also, you may want to make sure you have all the chipset (AGP) drivers installed correctly. And of course, welcome to the forums. What is your FPS actually? Also, All MAXed with 6800GT is likely different than all MAXed with 9800 Pro, since Pro by default does not run a few very-high-level shaders, which 6800GT does in Riddick, so make sure you are doing apples-to-apples comparison there.

Thank you for your reply.Your links helped me.Us i read using shaders 2++ in Riddick for some reason kill the frames.So i tryed shaders 2.0 and the deference in performance was awesome.It works like a dream,very smooth.
Thank you again |

if your fps seem a bit low, i think its because you have a beast of a card, and a slow cpu... 2.6ghz intel isnt enough for a 6800GT. you should have atleast 3200+ for a 6800GT.

riddick is known for eating nvidia cards for lunch, it isn't the card.

lower the shader level in game from 2.0++ to 2.0. frame rates will increase dramatically.

I've posted on here before about what I believe to be poor perfomance with my BFG 6800GT OC. I've tried to find benchmarks and tests that have been done with this card to see if I'm expecting too much from it. In games like Counter-Strike Source I find FPS drops from 75-80 to 30-40 when there are 6 people on screen and shooting. This makes it very hard to play, and I'm running the game on the default settings it comes set to.
I'm currently running the Zeropoint 76.44 drivers and also am using the autoexec.cfg that comes with it. No matter what drivers I've tried, I get the same results. My Valve Stess Test results are: 101.98 My 3D Mark 2005 score is: 5036 The rest of my computer specs are in my sig. I was wondering if anyone else had this card to see what there performance in games like CS:S is.

hi guys cool site first of all, Im a little concerned over this thread. is nvidia cheating again? synthetic benchmarks are one thing, but real world gaming is a completely different discussion. i switched from a ATI 9800pro with the thought of UNREAL 3 engine coming soon. well in the meantime i play Americas Army, with my RADEON card i was able to play with 90-110 fps, after swtiching to the PNY 6800GT 256mb ddr3 (clocked 421/1112)my framerates dropped to 60-70 fps. whats going on here? will my card only benifit from technology not yet released? i spent quit a few hours checking various forums related to this issue and it seems to be more wide spread than i thought....i've also read some things about voltage tweeks i was jsut wondering if i could benifit from it?
if anyone could give any info on this situation it would be greatly appreciatedd... is there anything im missing?? here are my specs: OS Name Microsoft Windows XP Professional Version 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 Build 2600 OS Manufacturer Microsoft Corporation System Manufacturer To Be Filled By O.E.M.

Yeah i feel the same way. I still haven't been able to find any answers for the low FPS I get in games that I feel I shouldn't be. I wish I could find out from the majority of people that have this card if they are having similar FPS problems.

EDIT: Also, what kind of power supply are you using, and how many amps does the 12v rail run at? You want a power supply with 420+ watts(more is better) with a steady 12v rail that stays within 4% of 12 volts and an amperage of the mid-20's and up. I use a Rosewill RE502 500W PSU with a steady 12v rail that runs at 34 amps, so my 6800GT is getting all the juice it needs, with some in reserve.
