Newly Installed 7800

Well I finally got my 7800 installed. Pretty impressed with it so far. Turned all my WoW settings up high and am still getting higher fps than before.

Here are some benchmarks I ran quickly. These are without any overclocking, and with all my background processes running -->

3dmark06 --> 3579
3dmark05--> 4979 (this one I'm surprised with because I scored about 4400 with my OC 6800 Go)
3dmark03--> 11755
3dmark01--> 24017

After playing WoW for about 2 hours the highest recorded temp was 63 (so in fact about 67) and right now I'm idling at 48 (so in fact about 52). I did however apply ceramique before installing the card.

Oh, as a side note, when I was installing the card, I noticed the shim around the GPU is quite high. I suspect by removing the shim, the heatsink would make better contact with the core, and thus lower temps. I know myself and other people used to do that with the old 9800 pro. Just a thought.

Wait...how did you get 3579 in 3dmark06 and then get just 4979 in 3dmark05?? Without any oc I got around 3300 in 3dmark06 but got around 6500 for 3dmark05. Maybe you should check that out or try it again.

Should have went with the 7800GTX over the regular 7800. There is A HUGE difference in 3dmark scores.

Same score, it's very weird. I think the new name for the laptop will be Inspiron M170.

Have you checked your driver install? What are you using? Did you do a clean install of your old drivers?

I'm using Tony's latest drivers, they installed fine. The old drivers were fully removed (uninstall, clean in safe mode, install new drivers). It's weird because the rest of my scores seem accurate. I'm not going to worry too much about it.

Your 3dO3 score looks a little low, I get in the 15500 region with my 7800GTX.
