I need a new video card. Mine is a 9700 Pro and its starting to show its age. So I ask for some help, what is the best card(price/performance) that can be OCed for the highest returns. If this belongs in the OCing forum plz move.
 
6800GT :D Best money/perf, and it clocks like hell, if you have the right one. Leadtek has a massive cooler, which allows you to clock over Ultra, with little luck to UEE.
 
i would suggest a 6800gt along with a an NV silencer5 for it, it will lower case temps and GPU temps by 10c, which allowed me to clock my 6800gt (from Evga) to 421mhz/1.14ghz stable.

yeh, but if you were to go that rout the only real smart thing to do would be to keep the 9700.
 
NVSilencer 5 rev.2 is coming?? w00t?! Is this true? What will be the difference from "rev.1" ?
 
X800pro Vivo ~softmoded to XT PE or at least XT speeds. My current card is clocked up to 560/590. The Vivo costs about the same as a GT and almost everyone will agree the XT PE performs better than a GT.
 
I'm getting water cooling so i should be able to keep the temps resonable. Any specific brand of 6800s and x800s that are better for ocing?

Well, FYI, I just got an X800pro around christmas (so it's a new production unit), and the card overclocks like CRAZY.

It's a non-vivo (with only 12 pipes), but my 3dmark score beats many X800XTPEs here on our [h] forum 3dmark list.

I've gotten up to 629/589 on crappy water cooling with a volt mod only to 1.57 on the processor (stock voltage 1.41) using a pencil.

Soooo, my vote is x800pro. I couldn't be happier and I think the chances of getting a good overclocker are very good in the current production units.
 
I would suggest a 6800GT, and it doesn't matter which company you get it from when you are modding the card for watercooling IMO.
