Hey guys! I'm in the market of a new video card and the 6800GT seems promising to me. I had my mind set on the x800pro /w VIVO but I've changed my mind. Too much hassle with the bios flashing and it isn't 100% guaranteed it will flash to xt 16 pipes and run stable. So my question is, can those of you who own a 6800GT post what manufactor, bios version, stock and oced speed, and type of cooling. Sorry if a similar thread has already been posted eg. Leadtek "x" bios 350/1000 -> ? stock cooling Thanks to all those who reply!
XFX 5.40.02.15.02 stock speed 350/100, my speed 408/1180 (stable) 1.4v mod = 427/1200 (stable). stock cooling
Inno3D 5.40.02.15.02 350/1000 ----> 420/1.15 with 1.4v bios mod. (but could only do ~390 GPU with standard 1.3v!) NV5 Arctic Cooler.
bfg 6800gt OC Stock bios stock speed 370/1.0--------> 425/1.2 stock cooling, just wait til i do the volt mod and maybe get the artic cooler nv40. or water cooling which im gonna get in the near future and get 450/1.3 i have no artifacts at all. i just need to do the volt mod and i could get even more on the stock cooling. i have the copperheat sink with to blue led lightcooling on the GT. i also only paid 315 for it
Same card. Same copper h/s with dual fans. Haven't tried for my OC ceiling but have a stable 420/1100. From what many people here say it runs warm but I don't see any problems with it... 59c idle, I think I saw a max of 73c with RT monitoring. I'll have to run that some more for more solid numbers. Totally rock solid stable, no artifacting at all, 12,055 3Dmk03 so far.
yeah. i think this is your best bet for a card. its amazing and beyond. im running it at 6800 u OC speeds. and i still have alot of head room. all for 315 bucks. its a heck of a deal if u ask me... muhaha, and if i get some watercooling., im hoping for 460/1.5. thats my goal, i hope i reach it
gl on it vash, im leaning towards the bfg also. thanks for all the input guys, really appreciate it ^_^
Well, my card is kind of GT... If you got money for proper GT don't buy it, but if you are looking for 6800 concider it... ASUS 6800 GT 128Mb DDR1 Stock 350/700 about 8500 3D03 marks OC'd to 431/861 to 9906 3D03 marks I can go highter, but, since my card is faulty already, I don't want to push it...
sorry to get off topics and all....but im gonna get a 6800nu soon....also a bgf...and i just wanted to know what tweaks/stuff i have to do to get max oc and optimal performance.....i've heard dtuff like put 3d speed same as 2d speed or somehing....any opinions on this ? also...if some tweaks require a progrma...could ya post a linkl or something ? thanks in advance guys..
