ASUS EN8800 GT is losing performance
-
Maybe the graphics are old, which is a problem, not all components last the same
or break down the same.Another thing that comes to mind, check in the bios if all the graphics options are set correctly.
Also check the drivers, if you have for example AA enabled or filters, that maybe you didn't have before.
Or maybe it's the font that makes you lose performance :rollani:

It's not a matter of the source. I looked at the voltage lines and they were marked well and without changes since I bought it. But I monitored the temperature and saw that it was heating up much more than it should, as I also noticed that the graphics card had already aged.
Anyway, I wanted to hold on to the graphics card for another year but it couldn't be. The graphics card died recently and I had no choice but to buy another one for that computer :llorar:.
Fortunately I was already studying a possible replacement for the 8800 GT, since I knew it already had little life left and I was hesitating between getting an HD5770 from ATI or the GTX 550 from nVidia.

Well, it seems that after assembling my new computer (a brand new Core i5 Sandy Bridge 2500), I decided to give the 8800 GT another chance, since I wouldn't like to see my Core 2 Duo, accompanied by a sad 8400 GS, after all the great service it has been doing for three long years (and that it is still doing).
I decided to change the thermal paste and clean the fan to test if that was really what was causing the heating. The thermal paste was dry and I decided to clean it completely. I put the graphics card back in the Core 2 Duo (I had already put the GTX 550 in the Core i5), and I achieved what I thought I wouldn't be able to, to revive a graphics card that was already considered dead.
The graphics card worked correctly again and just as it was before, keeping the temperature under control with GPU-Z, between 50°C and 70°C. How good it has been to change the thermal paste!

It was clear that it was a maintenance issue, it's very rare that over time it degrades by itself losing performance for no apparent reason.
Now it will be able to provide many more years of service, and as many as you want as long as you keep it in the same condition, both the graphics card and the rest of the equipment
Congratulations on the upgrade and on the resurrection of the 8800 GT :sisi:Best regards!

how long did you have the graphics card? maybe the thermal paste was bad
-
Just over three years ago, right after I bought the Core 2 Duo, back in 2008.

Not only have I managed to revive the graphics card, but it has resurrected by getting even more points than it used to get before, managing to get 11226 points in the 3DMark06 on the Core 2 Duo and all with the stock values of the graphics card and the CPU. The maximum it got before were 11186 points. :sisi:

If you had listened to your colleagues Sylver and kynes from the beginning, you would have saved yourself so many headaches (moral of the story: there are many of us who ask for help or advice, but few of us listen to the first piece of advice we are given)

No solamente he logrado revivir la tarjeta gráfica, sino que ha resucitado sacando incluso algo más de puntuación de lo que solia sacar anteriormente, consiguiendo sacar 11226 puntos en el 3DMark06 en el Core 2 Duo y todo con los valores en stock de la gráfica y de la CPU. Lo máximo que sacó anteriormente fueron 11186 puntos. :sisi:
Eso es porque la pasta térmica de serie era como casi todas las pastas térmicas de serie: precaria
Ahora con la nueva pasta térmica y el ventilador limpio es normal que alcance el mismo rendimiento de antes con temperaturas inferiores, lo que le da mucha mas vida.@AXUS no te falta razón.
Aunque supongo que todos vamos poco a poco cuando tenemos un problema y nos gusta contrastar opiniones y consejos, para asegurarnos de lo que hacemos. Las prisas para arreglar algo físico son malas consejeras, una mala maniobra puede ser fatal.¡Saludos!

osea la segunda¿no? pues eso se me hace mas raro , por que teóricamente pilla menos polvo que la primera por tanto la falta de rendimiento es totalmente por la pasta térmica ¿ que pasta térmica montaran los tios de asus?

A saber qué clase de pasta térmica debieron colocar los de ASUS, puesto que ese PC abría la caja una vez cada seis meses por labores de mantenimiento y limpieza. De hecho tanto el Core 2 Duo como el Pentium 4 HT los abro una vez cada seis meses para ver si todo está limpio o no. Al igual como también haré con el i5 cuando llegue su momento, puesto que este PC no hace ni una semana que lo monté.
Probablemente no haya sido cosa de la limpieza, sino de que pusieron una pasta térmica de mala calidad y no hiciese buen contacto la GPU con el discipador.

lo triste de el caso ( en tu caso no) es que si tienes una grafica como la primera (con disipador cerrado) si lo desmontas pierdes la garantía :nono: como por ejem es mi caso gtx280 en

A mi me está pasando algo parecido, con una 9800GT de 1GB, creo que haré lo mismo ¿Sabeis si va bien la pasta termica de Xilence?

Es precisamente la que he usado para la 8800 GT. Va muy bien, y estoy pensando en usarla también para mi Pentium 4 524 (adivina para qué lo voy a usar), que últimamente esta CPU me está teniendo grandes problemas de calentamiento.
