Hi Fajoo, looks like you and I got the same card. After finding out that its 192 sp instead of 216 sp I called galaxy computers to give a piece of my mind. Lucky for them there phone was busy. So I started reading the rest of this thread and it sort of calms me down. I strictly asked that dude at Galaxy whether it was 216 sp and he said yes it is. I am still a bit angry at them.
well i didn't actually buy from galaxy, i bought it from czone and they brought it for me from inno3d distributor here not galaxy......but the excuse that distributor guy gave was lame as hell that:
"We couldn't find the link to 192 sp version on the net so we gave the link to 216 sp version", abay bhai link nhi milraha to khud mention kardo wahan par jaisay czone ne kiya hai......
Exactly, Everyone running OC Processors are getting High scores. I am yet to see a single person running q6600 at stock speed and getting something like 15000 3D marks.
bro u should be getting a higher score then me as u have q6600, even at stock speeds coz of 2 extra cores which 3dmark takes advantage from....
@fajoo
well this thing really rang the bell for czone as now they remember to mention that this is a 192 sp version not a 216 stream processor chip
your howl of rage penetrated outside the walls of the web 2.0....
(i just overdid it
yep atleast these czone guys are courteous enough to mention, those bloody galaxy people still have not corrected the error on the website....
anyway fajoo did you tried running vantage yet ?and what are your load gpu temps buddy ?

i think score is normal....
nopes and i don't intend to coz i know i will get low scores coz of processor...besides i don't reallly care about synthetic benchies.......load temps, already mentioned before, in 3dmark 2k6, i got max 54 degrees while in crysis warhead bench, i got max 56 degrees...
for a high end new card the scores for 3d mark 06 look quite low , i guess this card is not the core 216 version hence the low price .
but still atleast it runs the games smoothly , as for the 4870 1gb model bros MEDIA inc now has the latest 1gb turbo edition 4870 cards with iceq4+ models .
INSHALLAH will bet geting 2 of these for my i7 rig , fajoo though u have now used the card it would have been better to do some home work before jumping in and geting the card.
but still it looks damn sexy n menacing .
cheers to u for owning the card that no one else has .

well bro i was also first angry to find out that it is not 216 sp version but there is hardly 5-6% performance difference between the two and i think 2.5k less price with such excellent cooler and bundle is a much better deal.......the gpu cooler on this gpu if sold alone would cost around 5k......
secondly, i read around 5-6 reviews about 4870 vs gtx260 and about 70% reviews showed supremacy of gtx260, so 4870 is not actually faster then this gpu......about homework, bro they mentioned the link to 216 sp version, so i was sure that it will be the same version that they have mentioned on the site but now it doesn't really matter to me coz of awesome performance of this gpu......
I actually asked them if i can get 4870 instead but after confirming with galaxy that it is not the iceq version of 4870, i decided not to get it, now u are saying that they have iceq4 version (what the hell is wrong with these galaxy people, they don't even know what they are selling)...i will get a better processor in sometime to utilize the full potential of the gpu....
a
Thanx but i think the ninja guy has the same gpu too....

@ Ninja and Faju
Check for PhysX.
Maybe its turned off, that might be the reason, u r getting such low score.
yar my score is fine coz of my processor and phsx is on....but his score seems low...
