Have you been happy so far? What driver are you using? Where did you get the card, how was the price, and were you happy with the vendor? I may be getting this card with the new system within @ 4 weeks or so... Epox 8KHA+, Athlon XP1900, 512 Crucial PC2700...etc... :D

260/560 stable (3dMark2kSE 1600x1200x32 without any glitches) I can do either 270/500 or 200/580, but not both,wierd. And It doenst like AGP to be overclocked for some reason on my 8KHA+, I cant even enable 1WS AGP write/Read or run my FSB higher then 135Mhz (I can run 166 fsb with a GeForce 2 MX though) can anyone help?

290 core and 620 memory....

Just kidding, much like two others above me are.

Click on my 3DMark2001 score, that's my system with 225 core and 535 memory.

yeah, im happy with it.. easiest thing to overclock.. my cpu on the otherhand.. upto 148fsb, i was running fine at the default voltage, but to get to 150fsb, i had to up the voltage to 1.84. oh well. as long as i got good cooling.

i got my card at newegg for $156. checked this morning, and it's down to $149. i guess that's due to the gf4 coming out soon...
im getting 8880 on my 3dmark2001se @ 1024x768x32bit default with no AA enabled.

Yeah they dont sound kosher, and people just love to exaggerate.

Anyways, I have an MSI GF3 Ti200 (stock everything in a P4 1.8A @ 2.25).

Testing the max stable speeds, I got 230 as the max stable core speed (240 and above create graphical glitches right away - very noticable ones btw) and 520+ max memory (its a bit higher but I didnt care to test it. 540 memory screws up right away.

I run it at 225/500 pretty much non stop (why go overboard and get even minor glitches), and it behaves like it does at stock speed.

One day I might either re-install their fan with arctic silver (can I do that? is it epoxied on or what?) or get a crorb, but I'm very pleased with it right now. The only reason I'd get a crorb is to up it to the magical 240 MHz core speed (so I'd be running exactly Ti500 speeds).
