peeps,

allow me to share some benchmark results on BF3... kani lang sa for now. i'll try to complete the test before Jan 2 '12. i'll return the GPU to the seller on Thursday, next week.

> data points taken per resolution is 15 readings... kani lang akoang gamit na data points instead of the usual 30 kay nag dali ko...

[lloyd_joy]

"Fermi" chip man gyud ni sya for sure bah... nag check ko balik sa voltage... 1V man even at "zero load"... dili in ani ang voltage sa Kepler... nang gigil ko na ablihan na, kaso, wla ko'y thermal paste ron dri... gggggrrrr...

naa'y nag gamit ug GT 630 dri? if yes, ask ko'g favor unta... please post the GPU-Z screen capture of your GPU... salamat...



additional info para sa kaban... pero, ang unit, wla ra gihapon mo match dri... hehehe

had finished the benchmark for Medium Preset in BF3... the GPU is kept at stock speed... monitor size: 27" LED backlit... CPU: Intel SB Pentium G840... mem: Kingston HyperX Blu 8GB (2 x 4GB)... 1333 MHz...





based on the chart, the acceptable playable frame rates on Medium Preset are the following resolutions. This is applicable to the current monitor owned by Budget Oriented Gamers or Gamers on a Tight Budget...

> 1600x900... max resolution of most 20" LED backlit monitors.
> 1366x768... max resolution of most 18.5" LED backlit monitors.
> 1024x768... max resolutions of the older 14" & 15" LCD monitors and old 14" CRT monitors (naa pa man gihapon nag gamit ani)... and the newer 12" & 14" LCD/LED backlit monitors...

Note: 1080x1024 Mid preset performance is also acceptable in actual gaming. I just put a 30 fps cut-off. its the reason, i didn't include the 1080x1024 on the acceptable playable frame rates list. the GPU have marginal results on this resolution... actual values were 28 and 29 fps.


these 3 resolutions were consistent to give a fps that is 30 and above to maintain smooth flow during the game. i'll continue to get the benchmark of these 3 resolutions then test the GPU on High and Ultra Presets. once ready, I'll share it again here. We'll, performance-to-cost ratio @ 2.1k php, so far, it's acceptable... i would like to remind everyone again that BF3 is a GPU intensive game and the fake Galaxy GT 640 DDR5 is still holding its ground at Medium Preset...

for those individuals that have a 2k to 2.5k php GPU price range and if you have BF3, you can use this result on your benchmarking for comparison...

imbaha gud ani nga card bossing...

imbaha gud ani nga card bossing...

pwede gyud kaayo ni sa "Gamer on a Tight Budget" bro... pero, akoa ning i-uli kay wala man lagi nag honest ang seller sa pag transact namo. nag sulti pa sya na copy ni, wala ra unta problema... then gi uli nya ang akoang money... hadlok pud sya hatagan ug bati na rating sa online shop nya... "No'no" man gyud sila dri na ingnon na bakakon man gud... bati kaayo ug dating sa ilaha... bisan mao ang tinuod... para to save his face and reputation, gi uli ang money nako... then nag ingon sya sa akoang kauban na intsik (sya man ang nag order) na, dili pabutangan ug negative comments ang link sa shop nya... uli naman kuno ang money...

padayon ko ug benchmark karon na day... bugnaw man igawas para mag GPU hunting kay nag snow gabi-i dri... hehehe... basin pud karon naa napud... mag mok2x ko ani nya dri para mahuman... mogawaws diay ko para palit ug thermal paste/grease (sa duol na shop diri sa balay) para atoa ning ma ablihan ang heatsink para ma tan-aw kun unsa gyud ning GPU chip ang gigamit ani...

[werty]

so unsay verdict? what chip really is this and real features(dx10 card?)

[lloyd_joy]

ma ablihan ra gyud ni unya bro basta naa na'y thermal paste/ grease... mag benchmark diay ko gamit ang Heaven... pud unya... share nko dri ang results pud...

ang verdict ani kay i-uli... gi balik naman ang money nko last week... ship ko back to the seller this week...

ok, had completed all the needed benchmarks for this Fake Galaxy GT 640 1GB DDR5 GPU... below are the summary of the results...

For BF3 Medium Preset:



For BF3 High Preset:



For BF3 Ultra Preset:




Conclusion:

At just 2.1k php price equivalent, this Fake Galaxy GT 640 1GB DDR5 can satisfy the need of a Tight Budget Gamer. We all know that BF3 is a GPU hog game title... the GPU hold its ground in playing BF3 and provide a very playable frame rates at Medium Preset on 1024x768, 1366x768 and 1600x900 resolutions and up to High Preset for 1024x768 resolution. This can satisfy the need of any Tight Budget Gamer who'll use an 18.5" to 20" LED backlit monitor. The card only utilizes the power of the PCIe slot... 75W... so, a lower rated PSU is also usuable for the Tight Budget Gamer...

If you're looking to play in Ultra Preset on BF3 and higher resolutons, look somewhere else for another GPU... But here's the catch, this unit is a fake one. Just don't tell your friends what is inside the hood of your rig... hehehe... I'm pretty sure that this GPU would last for 3 yrs or more in normal use though.



Update...

Got the needed thermal grease here already. I'll open the heat sink and check what is the real deal inside... hehehe... i'll share it again here after...
