PNY 6800 nu -- any good?

[WhipperSnapper]

According to the Black Friday threads, it looks like CompUSA is going to be selling the PNY 6800 nu for $200. Is tt a good deal? The deal's worthless if it's a bad card or if a 9800 Pro would beat it.

It's a very good card. It is better than a 9800 pro.

good deal, but so is the bfg 6800 OC at outpost which is clocked a little bit faster and comes with farcry for $249 if you don't wanna bother with bf.

I guess what we need to know, is, has anyone who owns a PNY 6800 nu ever tried to unlock all 16 pipes? How well does it overclock?

Mine softmoded perfectly with no artifacts and is oc to 375/825 can do 400/860 but did not see the need or gain in doing so I also used the artic silencer instead of the stock hs with ceramique really happy with the card

 

[screwd01]

any guides to doing it?

 

[Quino]

It is easy u just need the riva tuner and somebody posted a detailed guide on how to do it. Let me see if I can find it. I used the new demo for painkiller to test for artifacts once the softmod was applied.
