Could you link to it? I put in 6800GT for chipset and no results are found, TIA.
 
Hmm, is the max resolution on that eVGA an error? 2048x1536@60Hz? Shouldn't it be at least 75hz or higher? Is it like that with all other 6800GT?
 
I went ahead and installed the BFG GT when I got home last night (sorry didn't get any pics). During the few minutes I toyed with it, the image quality seemed great and I noticed about the same playability with BF Vietnam and Far Cry that I had with the X800 Pro. Tonight I'm going to bump up the resolution and AA/AF on both games and see what the best settings are that I can hit and still have the game be playable. At stock speeds (370/1000) I hit 11,600 with 3DMark03 and that's 500 points higher than the X800 Pro scored while clocked at 540/540. I installed Coolbits and 3D auto-detect came back with 434/1120 but I had to hit the rack before I could test it at those speeds. It definitely runs warm - in the mid-60's at idle and mid-80's under load. I don't know how much I trust those numbers because I touched the card in several places while at idle and under load and it didn't feel warm at all. I'm definitely going to be tweaking tonight and will post more if anything exciting comes up.

Edit: Forgot to mention that I'm using ForceWare 61.71's and DirectX 9.0c and haven't noticed any stability problems so far. 😀
 
Good stuff, Thanks Doobie :beer: 434/1120 if stable would be awesome! :shocked:
 
Mine is on the truck for delivery today. I guess it's not only, not cheaper yet, but you can only get it from a couple of places now, and for much more than I paid 😉 6800GT OC for the price of a 6800=BB rocks! 😎
 
...and of course the best buy drones @ customer service know nothing about when they'll be getting it from the manufacturer. time to start talkin' to the guys over at bfg

Best Buy drones, lol. That's really no joke. I called them up to cancel my order and it was like they were reading a telepromter.
