7800gt performing badly

junneh · Nov 21, 2005, 04:47 PM

I have a question regarding my XFX 7800gt extreme

My pc setup is
asus a8n sli
amd athlon 64 3500+ venice
kingston valueram 2x 512 dual channel
xfx 7800gt extreme
hitachi deskstar 250 gb
ocz modstream 450w

though my system gets only 5200 point in 3dmark05, with the default settings.
it als ohas problems running games at full while i know people with x800xl's who can run it full.

My friend has EXACTLY the same pc as me, except for the power supply and the hard disk ( coolermaster realpower 450w and samsun spinpoint 200gb)
He also has an 7800 GT, thought its from ASUS. His 3dmark 05 score is 7100
at clocks 445/1050

how can it be, that he gets a MUCH MUCH higher score with the asus cards, while it is even 5 mhz lower clocked ?

so far, I am VERY dissapointed in my XFX 7800 GT extreme.

is there something worng with my card ? because 5200 3dmark05's are simply UNACCEPTABLE for an 7800 gt

I've seen some posts over at XFX forums about issues with clocks, and this card. If you can took a look at what the actual clocks are on it.

First I'd like to ask if you have completly uninstalled any traces of the Ati card using drivercleaner? Or better yet reinstalled windows when popping in the 7800GT? It can be some leftover Ati regkeys that are conflicting with your nvidia card.
