Order a refurbed one on 7/12 for $211. It arrived today in a retail box with all the CD's, cables, etc. Runs great!

Got mine yesterday from Newegg. Popped it in and everything works just fine. It can in the retail box with all the disks, cables, and whatnot.

A 6800GT for 210 is a nice upgrade, even if I am coming from a 6800OC

It is large. On my Gigabyte board it did not obscure the SATA connectors that are next to the AGP slot but the cable would rest of the GF heat sink if I let it.

Fan was quieter than my BFGs fan

Is any body able to overclock it, becauese even after RMA the new one does not Overclock at all. I have 550Watts Ultra PSU, and i put a special single cable to it which is not been shared, but still it is not overclocking at all.
I have got 5120 with my system in 3DMARK05 is it good enough.

As expected, DOA. Artifacts at BIOS. Already sent Leadtek an email.

Hey, it makes me feel better at least when all you guys that just ordered were getting good cards and mine's at Leadtek right now, it made me feel bad! But I hope everyone else gets good cards, I just can't help it... misery loves company!

 

[TimmyJ]

Heh, I was feeling the same way. I've already gotten a reply email with the regular questions that the tech or support has for me like compliance and power supply etc. So far I can't really ask for better service from Leadtek.

 

[TimmyJ]

Hey donxvi, did you ship yours out UPS? I was just wondering because I wasn't sure if they accepted FedEx or just only UPS...

 

[donxvi]

Actually I sent it USPS, but I can't imagine they wouldn't accept it via any of the usual services.

They've sent my replacement complete with a tracking number, so I've got to second the statement that their customer service has been great!

 

[TimmyJ]

alright, cool.. Thanks, im gonna go ship it now.

total cost of videocard as of now.. $220.47

 

[Chadder007]

Whoa snap....it jumped to $289. Not a refurb anymore?

 

[TimmyJ]

I see it as 284.00 new. No, I don't think there will be anymore refurbs of these for a while..I think the last batch was the ones that got sent back from the last refurb deal..which I got and is being sent to leadtek to fix.

 

[Schain]

thanks op!!

 

[TimmyJ]

"Still waiting on that hefer with cheese, Julio."

STILL waiting for my videocard to get back form Leadtek.. I think they sent it to the wrong house. Shipped 7/16.

 

[donxvi]

Hmm, you know mine took a wrong turn on the way back, too, it showed delivered but wasn't here, then mysteriously showed up later that day from UPS. Not good! The BIG problem is that my replacement card... doesn't work, either! It gets artifacts after seconds in BF2 or <2 minutes in 3DMark__.

 

[TimmyJ]

poopies sorry to hear.. I pray that mine doesn't end up doa too. I tried emailing tech support twice within the past 4 days and not one response.
