What should i get?

 

[fierydemise]

GTO or GTO2

 

[fliguy84]

you should get the gto² and mod it to a x850xt pe. lots of people have done it

 

[videogames101]

One prob, how would i go about unlocking? And what brand gto2?

 

[fierydemise]

Connect 3D GTO can unlock but not 100% (IIRC) the sapphire GTO2 can unlock every time

 

[videogames101]

But i still don't know how to unlock stuff.

here.

there's a step-by-step instruction to unlock the card

 

[fierydemise]

look on these forums or just google GTO2 unlock or something similar and you should be able to find it

If you arent sure or confident or dont want to risk it, grab a X800XL or 6800GS.

A refurbed X800XL can be found for $205 in newegg.

And the cheapest 6800GS you can find is $199. And when you OC it it will be alot faster than a X800XL.

The connect3d GTO can overclock like mad, up to X850Pro speeds IIRC. So if you can't unlock it, then ocing it will still get you awesome performance.

Your choices:

GTO
GTO^2
X800XL

I'd get the GTO^2 if you can find it for that price, probably not, if you don't feel good about flashing/overclocking and don't wanna deal with it, get the X800XL.

Btw, the GTO does not have 100% flash capability, while the GTO^2 is 100%.
