Very cool!

Same here for an Asus K8N - no SATA drivers required (fresh installation of Windows).

Well, I don't have the BFG, and I have the plain vanilla 6800, but I'm seeing numbers almost identical to yours. It's passively cooled (Gigabyte 6800) and it idles btwn mid 50's to mid 60's. Gaming doesn't seem to raise the temp too much, even though I'm slightly OCed. HTH Stock: 325/700...

I've got the Gigabyte - very decent performer, a little more expensive, but nice because it's quiet :)

Anyone ever heard of using DNA as a replacement for a microchip? I did a little research on this a few years ago for a paper I was writing for school - apparently it has a slower "clock speed", but can process many many more instructions symmetrically, making it multiple times faster than a...

I've got a Gigabyte 6800 (vanilla) - works great.

Yep. Tried the hardware masked ones tonight - bad news. ALL KINDS of artifacts everywhere. Oh well, at 12 pipelines and a little overclocking, I'm ~9800 3DMark03, which makes me happy :)

A2? All I see for my card is F2 - and I already tried that one. Screwed up my card - disabled the DVI port altogether, and crapped out as soon as the drivers tried to load. Had to boot in safe mode on the VGA port, and reflash the original BIOS. Lucky I backed it up...

I have a utility that automatically checks to see if their is a new firmware update - it says no everytime I run it. The remaining pipelines are hardware masked - should I open them up as well? From what I've heard, they are hardware masked because they are possibly defective, meaning I could...

I just opened up 4 pipelines to end up at 12 (Gigabyte 6800 shipped w/ 8 enabled), and gained about 1300 on my 3DMark03 score. Is my card capable of 16? If so, will I see the same performance increase as I did going to 12?

I've just got the regular 6800, but it runs mid 60's (C) at idle...

Do you have a PSU? I don't see one listed...

Just reboot with the Panther install CD in your drive, and hold down the "C" key - this should force your CPU to boot from the Panther CD. Then just go through the setup again, and install only the X11 modules that you need. That should be all you need to do. The X11 application should be in...
