BFG fn PWNZ !!!!! I send them my damaged 6800OC AGP and they send me a 7800GS OC that does 525/1430

[Dazed and Confused]

Man I loves BFG and thier hastle free no questions asked RMA policy. I send them a damaged BFG 6800 OC 128mb AGP card I gto from a fellow WT'r and they send me a brand new BFG 7800GS OC 256mb AGP card with a G71 core and Hynix 1.4ns memory that does 525/1430 with the stock copper HSF.

I guess this means BFG is out of all 68xx and 7600GT AGP cards or they'da prob sent me one of those instead I'm not arguing with thier kickass decision though

Since it's the G71 core ( 7900GT/GTX ) I'll bet with more voltage it'll do 550 - 650mhz Thinking I prob shouldn't F w the hw though

GPU-Z verrification @ 515/715

I can play Doom 3 @ 1152/864 on High detail and all Advanced options on with 8x AF and 0x AA. I test for artifacts on the last level with the boss and God mode and noclip on. I hover circles arround him and the platform going below and above the platform firing plasma and moving in and out. Wierd way to test for artifacts, I know so sue me.

hehe. If your product fails late enough, you get a nice upgrade for free.

OC and you can't use that warranty again LOL

Same thing happened to my cousin 6800GT crapped out = 7800GS

You should have no problem with Doom3 at that res WITH 4xAA

EVGA has been pretty good to me. I bought a 7800GT at $300,
stepped up to a 7900GT, ($5)
had the widespread artifact problem a couple months later, got a new 7900GT (with higher stock clocks),
had the widespread diagonal lines problem, and got a 7950GT

4 cards. Only paid for one.

I'm just pissed I couldn't get an 8800 instead of that 7950GT.
