So I got the card, everything works great. I have it clocked to 410\575(1115) from 350/500(1000) and unlocked the pipes and the shader 16,6 from 12,5. It all seems to work fine, no artifacts or anything. I am worried about that overclocking and all that I did to it because I only have the...

3 minutes after I post you respond. Damn you're good. You are like a car salesman. hahah Thanks a lot man. I'll let you know how it turns out. (3-7 business days from now)

Thanks again for your help. I went with the PNY for a few reasons. Cheaper, of course. But that is becuase I might need to get a new power supply and fan for it depending on how it runs. Also, the pny (like probably all others) can use the nvidia drivers, so that is more versatile as well...

Interesting thing about that 6800GS (which sounds like a grea card) is that is starts at 425Mhz and they clock it to 475mhz. All of the ones that we were talking about were 350mhz. That is an extreme difference. Why is that? And does that mean it would be safe to overclock THAT much?! or is...

I would imagine that in 3 years I would have graduated to a PCI board (unless they fail). By HSF's you mean heat sink fan? If so, do I have to immediately consider the price of adding one of those? because then that changes a lot of things. About the voiding the warranty, unlocking...

The PNY is 30 dollars cheaper. Still think I should get the EVGA? because if i unlock and overclock it and it crap out on me than an extended warranty doesn't really help does it? Maybe there is a spec difference? Or is pny no good? I just don't see what the 30 dollars buys. And as far as...

all i've found thus far for less than $200 is PNY GeForce 6800 GS / 256MB GDDR3 / AGP 8x / DVI / VGA / TV Out / Video Card which has a core clock at 350mhz at $170 or so EVGA 256-A8-N387-TX GEFORCE 6800GS 256MB 256-BIT GDDR3 AGP 4X 8X VIDEO CARD-R at 350mhz as well for $202 does it matter...

I don't know much about the 6800GT so, that it might compare to that still leave me with questions. If I COULD get it performing at those speeds would that then be the clear choice? And in order to unlock it is there a huge risk of ruining the card all together? Are there any particular...

Thanks for these quick responses guys... http://www.gpureview.com/show_cards.php?card1=356&card2=52 here is a site that compares them directly. It says the GTO has a 480 GPU and the XL has the 430 GPU. Somewhere I read that the 480 is more easily overclockable. But I have no idea...

I have a dell Dimension 8300 (800mhz Hyper Threading 8x AGP 1gb Ram) and am looking for a new video card. Currently I have a 9600xt and amd wondering what to upgrade to. I have found: Sapphire Radeon x800GTO for $171 GECUBE Radeon X800XL X800XLA-VIVO PRO-Gamer CSCZ SAPPHIRE Radeon...
