100% save another $200 dollars (not sure what tax is out in alberta) and buy a 6800gt for 600 plus tax=700. It will make meat out of any of those cards. Brother, it is TOTALLY worth the extra $200. Try bigfootcomputers.com they are a local Canadian e-tailer. Located in Toronto, great prices...

? why no one mention the zalman 7000 ? Not just because I use one :) , but because it is one of the best out there.

It's a disgrace as far as I'm concerned. I plan on RMAing it now, and I am going to put a SMALL mark somwhere on the card, just to see if I get the same card back with a bios flash to the 1000 memory or a new card :evil:

This is my response to my first contact with XFX support: Dear customer: what software did u run for testing? Please provide the spec of your PC. Sincerely, XFX VGA Technical Support Because we can not stimulate all the trouble-shoot in e-mails, in your best interest, please...

hmmm my xfx gt idles at 54 or so and tops out as high as 75

I got one at 350/900 with doom 3 combo. I upped it to 1000 and it is working fine. I am considering just flashing the bios to a 350/1000, as it seems XFX just uses the default nvidia 6800gt bios. But really, I can't be bothered it runs fine being oc'ed up to 1000, and I think it goes without...

1600x1200 .... why play at anything less ? :cool::thumbsup::D:cool:

Yes it's true there are nice LCDs that are of a high quality. But, the completely straight answer as far as gaming goes, is that the best monitor for gaming is a CRT. More specificly the NEC/Mitsubishi Diamond Pro Series. Yes, there are excellent LCD solutions that will do the job. But the...

what res and quality were you running the demo at ?

One note on the x800pro. If you buy a VIVO Sapphire X800Pro it is fully moddable to an x800xt pe with the full 16 pipes and same clock speeds (520/1100 or something like that I think) I actually am thinking I would have rather gone that route than have gotten my 6800gt. :) Don't get me...

install coolbits and go to display properties, advanced, 6800 gt, and pick the clock frequency setting. it will show your clock speeds for core/mem

I bought an XFX 6800 GT last week, and have been just starting with it this weekend. ( I have been playing with it all weekend so far :cool: ) I originally had bought a Leadtek 6800GT, it was a flawed card, with the color corruption and system hang problems that have been mentioned with the...

btw i do not see the big deal it clocks up to 1000 so its fine, and rest assured the memory is not ddr2 running at 500

here is my reading from the same program. $ffffffffff --------------------------------------------------- $ffffffffff NVIDIA specific display adapter information $ffffffffff --------------------------------------------------- $0100000000 Graphics core : NV40 revision A1 (16x1,6vp)...
