Alright, that should be interesting to see how it fares against a 6800U.....

Tell me, do you put much stock in benchmarks??????

Damm... got to get other card, from another brand.

This one goes straight against one of the major flaws of the MSi Neo2. The position of the chipset !!!!

I changed the little cooler that came with the board, for a bigger one to get more stability on high OC, and the damm video card doesn't enter the agp slot do to the lake of space at the end of the PCB. Some transistores won't fit the space between the chipset ande agp slot :(

See pic in Here... click on the pic to get a bigger one.

Got to find another one...

yeah, I see what you mean...I prefer my A8v...no problems like that (I have a small collermaster case though, and my stiff X-Connect cables fit into the 6800U tightly

As for HL2- IT IS AMAZING!!!! Holy $^#& is all I have to say...on the highest settings, ZERO lag...even right after loading (the one place where i got lag in D3)

I'm checking around and all video have this stuff. So I will have to take the Swiftech out of the chipset and put in the cooler that came with the board.

I wasn't going to desmount all my PC just to test the video card one day ( swiftech as two screw to hold it, not the plastic clips ).

Some other time...
