I'd appreciate some help on dillema here :) I need help choosing which card to keep, here's what I've got:

Sapphire X800GTO2 - modded to 16pp and o/c to 500/600 - 3DMark05: 6200

Connect3D X800GTO (card 1) - modded to 16pp and o/c to 570/570 - 3DMark05: 6520

Connect3D X800GTO (card 2) - modded to 16pp and o/c to 580/555 - 3DMark05: 6590

I seem to have got a real duffer of a GTO2 which is a shame. My instincts tell me to keep the card with the highest clocked core which would be the 2nd C3D GTO which also scored highest in 3DMark05, however the mem is lower than the GTO2 and first GTO. Is there any benefit in keepin the GTO2 with it's R480 core and 1.6ns mem even though it clocks lower and scores less? Which card would you keep?

Your GTO2 core isn't giving you much. The GTO's are good performers and cheaper too - I would keep either of them.
