How is the XFX 6600GT in dual dvi mode?

[Nocturnal]

Anyone here using dual LCDs with this video card? If so, how is it? I'm thinking about picking this up tomorrow to replace my 9800XT. I RARELY play anygames and I mainly want the dual dvi output ports as dvi and vga looks like crap with my two 2001fps.

stay away from xfx cards. I have had a 6800nu and a 6800GT crap out on me (no overclocking).

And their rma service is... well it sucks.

Wow, that sucks to hear. What would you recommend then?

I have had awesome success with XFX, and have been great with rmaing and customer service, in my experience that is. I think you should go with what you have had good luck with in the past.

Do you call it crap out if a card doesn't overclock? 😕

I have one that works awsomely. The original versions of the XFX 6600GT's had improper cooling. but I ordered mine from mwave and it had the revised fan. That is the key. I think there were a bad batch of 6600gts as you can see a lot of people are having problems on the nzone forum. If you get one make sure it is revised. The dual dvi I cannot speak for. I do use dual crt's and the card works great. Any other info you want drop me a pm.

I'm running this card dual DVI and it's great. Both screens are super sharp and vibrant. I had to RMA the card to get one that worked properly (first one only one DVI port worked). This card seems to bench a little slower than the original one I had, but the games still run fine. My advice is to buy it from a place that is either local to you or that has a good return policy just in case you need to RMA it. I also recommend reading the forums at the xfx site and other places too. There are a lot of complaints about these cards, but I can honestly say through 2 cards I've never had some of the issues most of the people complaining on the forums did.

I took the statement to mean they crapped out on him and he wasn't overclocking.
