Thoughts on the X800 GTO

[RBauer]

Hey was wondering if anyone else has one of these cards. For less then $170 runs nice.

The core overclocks well mem on mine I can seem to only push to 530 from stock 495 but core will go to 530 but 520 is where it runs smooth.

I guess a my 3dmark05 scores are decent? I noticed Tomshardwares comparision shows I am beating a 6800GT If i could only get past the ultra i would be very happy!

Is yours a Connect3d and if so did you unlock it?

i got a x800gto2 and i love it... its about as fast as my 6600GT was when used w/ smalle textures but it shines up in the higher resolutions...

btw mine is unlocked to 16 pipes and im running 525/600... it locks if i break 535 on the core and i get artifacts over 613 on the mem... i guess i got one of the ones that didnt make it to "spec"

I've got the Connect3d version of it. Unlocked to 16 pipes and overclocked to 595mhz core and 560mhz mem, but I keep it at 570mhz core to be on the safe side. With 595 core and 560 mem I get 6891 on 3dmark05 with a A64 3800 Newcastle@2520mhz and 2gbs of ram.

Don't know why your overclocks are so low, you should be getting way higher overclocks from what I've seen people with the same card get.

I can understand the clocks on a regular GTO, but the GTO² uses the R480 core and Samsung 1.6ns GDDR3. I was able to get stable clocks of 585 core/625 memory but run at 580/620. I get temps of 71-75C core/54-57C ambient load with the stock cooler, fan speeds never exceeding 65-75%. I am still waiting to unlock to 16 pipes, but when I do I am sure it will be a whole new card .

I only have the GTO not the GTO2

Either way its made by Sapphire but when I run ATI Tool it shows Chip Type R480

Did you go to the display control panels and set everything to default under 3D settings? For a 12-pipe gto at those clocks the score is ok, but maybe you can get a little more.
