Graphics Post your Video Card (pics) Thread!

Nice cards there Highland3r .

As for the EK blocks, I managed to pick one up at specialtech, not sure on their stock levels atm but it is an awesome bit of kit. In my loop, it only added about 2-3C to my CPU temps but lowered my BFG 640Mb 8800GTS temps to 40C idle/ 48C load, from 64C idle/ 90C load.

It looks freakin beautiful too, it's so well made. I forgot to take some pics before I popped it in my loop. Next time I add something to/change/drain my loop, I'll be sure to stick some pics up for ya

As for Vmods, I've been sizing up the effort of the guys over at XS and it looks fairly straightforward. Now all I need is a hand that doesn't shake like a 90 year old's and a decent soldering iron

 

Here is my XFX 7900GT, Zalman cooled and overclocked to 580/1650 .






My apologies for the messy guts of my case, I am getting a new one in a month or so.

 

Too true - nice mod

Here's my 7800gt with a DD NV78 - its running stock at the moment, i guess i should have a go at overclocking it really

 

My X1800XT 256Mb running @ Stock for now,...







Runs lovely and cool with its EK FC18/19. Its going to become the home PC, while i'll invest into an 8800 GTS 320Mb...

 

My new 8800 GTS SLi setup. I'm rather content. Now for more gaming...

 

hhmm... nice.

Cable tidying?

 

whats that you talk about? lol!

is a tad messy in there!!

 

Just assembled to run, readying for water and wiring mods. Patience, padawans.

 

EK Cooled 8800GTX

Hi All,

I have been drooling over this tread for some time now, and finally have something worth showing.

I have the EVGA 8800GTX (ACS3) which is now cooled by an EK Block. The default cooler kept idle temps at 74C & 83 at load, but this block now has it at 40C idle & highest load so far is 48C. The loop contains the other blocks in my sig and all cooling is done via 2 x BI Stealth rad, so overall it's not too bad.

Enough talking:

 

Got my new 8800 GTS 640Mb this morning, whacked it in and have been playing Oblivion and Command and Conquer 3 with settings maxed out =)

My old card is a 6600GT.

 

I would screw that gfx card in, just so im safe in the knowledge that it aint going anywhere

 

Yeah, it is now. I took that picture when I'd just installed the card and put that one screw you can see in for the backplate to rest on.

 

Thought i'd post a pic of all of my past (and present) cards that i actually have pics of

Starting with a MSI Geforce FX5900XT AGP 128mb (Paid £165 in August 2004, sold for £45 in August 2005)


Then the XpertVision Geforce 6600GT AGP 128mb (Paid £90 August 2005, sold for £60 October 2005)


The XFX Geforce 6800GT PCI-E 256mb (Paid £155 October 2005, sold for £65 November 2006) Here fitted with an Arctic Coolong NV Silencer 5 Rev3.


The Sapphire Radeon X1950Pro PCI-E 256mb (Paid £130 November 2006, sold for £80 May 2007)


And my present MSI Radeon X1950XT PCI-E 256mb (Paid £117 May 2007)

 

wow that quite the history of cards,

gald to see you finally sold that saffire (it was you who was trying to see one on these forums right?)

 

Thanks. Yep that was me. Sold it on ebay in the end.

 

I had that exact 6600GT but when I got my new mobo which didn't have any AGP slots I used a PCI version I had kicking about for a while until I got my 8800

 

I own an ATi x850 XT PE, which is at stock clock speeds. It gets the job done, decently. The only downside is that it has SM 2.0, so I cannot play some of the newer games such as Colin McRae: DiRT.

 

My new R600!

 

I see Gordon looking over your card...
Going to get Ep2?

Why do people rave about the 6600GT?
It's really pushing the price up, it's not worth it. The 7300GT is cheaper, faster, and supports SM3
