New EVGA 8800GTS - Memory Clock and Video Memory Questions

[WeatherGeek]

Hi guys. I purchased the EVGA 640MB 8800GTS superclocked version on NewEgg, and just installed it. In nTune and in any other programs I use, it says the memory bus is 850MHZ, but on newegg it says its "1700MHz (effective)". Are these the same speeds?

Also, in the system info for the GPU, it shows this...

640MB Dedicated + 766MB shared video memory. My motherboard does not contain integrated graphics. Is this a glitch? If not, how can I turn it off. Thanks!

850 x 2 = 1700MHz(DDR)

Okay thanks, anyone have any ideas about that shared memory thing?

PS-I just ran 3DMark06

Score: 9245 3DMarks

Thats about 7000 marks higher than I had with the same specs in my sig but with an ATI Radeon X700PRO 256MB card.

Did you uninstall ATI driver before using 8800GTS ?

Check your hard drive for any ATI folders left behind, and use a registry cleaner to remove any entries for them.

Uninstall 8800GTS driver and then reinstall the latest forceware driver for 8800 from nvidia website

Though a good measure, it is not required that you remove previous drivers. His score is about right.
