Garandhero Posted December 17, 2007 Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 (edited) So im disgusted that I got the crappy set of 8600MGT's with the DDR2 memory, so im trying to send my lappy back to Dell and hopefully get it replaced with a DDR3 version I actually have been having some problems so I contacted support and am trying to get em to let me send it back What do you all think of that? Would they replace the GFX card with the DDR3 version? Chances? go. Edited December 18, 2007 by Garandhero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garandhero Posted December 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2007 (edited) Actually, how do you know if you have DDR 3 or DD2? Nevermind its DDr2 according to GPU-Z/ Edited December 17, 2007 by Garandhero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laes Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 As far as I know Dell don't offer the GDDR3 version of the card... If you actually do get this to work can you reply back? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garandhero Posted December 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 (edited) So the guy cameand replaed it, its not a DDR3 card but still... seems to be working way better, Im overclocking further than ever before... check below for my OC's so far. Old Card Best: 575/500 Shader 1150 3875 3dMarks06 temp @48 Driver Version 169.01 New Card 575/500 Shader 1150 3875 3dMarks06 temp @48 600/510 Shader 1200 3978 3dMarks06 temp @>60 610/515 Shader 1220 3988 3dMarks06 temp @>60 615/515 Shader 1230 4060 3dMarks06 temp @>60 625/525 Shader 1250 4108 3dMarks06 temp@>60 Driver Version 169.01 Im stopping at 625/525 Shader 1250 with scores at 4108 3dMarks06 and temp@ >60-65 degrees.. I may do some more, try to tweak it up even higher tommorw, but for now im very very happy.. looks like I got one from the "good batch" of 8600GT's.. finally! :) Edited December 18, 2007 by Garandhero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garandhero Posted December 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2007 (edited) Odd, you get a score of 4108, i broke 5k recently, heres my old benchmark. yea but your doing your benchmark with a significantly lower resolution than I am... also im on Vista. and mine is only a 256mb card not 512.. actually yours is pretty low for what you got to be honest...

Vashts121 Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 (edited) According to 3DMark's analyzer, I am in the 3% of people with the same specs to break 5k, how is that low? Edited December 30, 2007 by Vashts121 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garandhero Posted January 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 (edited) just seems low that you have a vcard with twice as much memory as mine and your running 3dmark at a low resolution and thats only getting you 1k more points than me. i would figure at such a low res, with your card you should be hittin 6k..or at least 5.5 Edited January 4, 2008 by Garandhero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
