X800 pro flashed to XT or 6800U? Which one will provide better overall performance?
 
unless you find a vivo x800pro..the regular ones don't flash.

and why the 6800U or the x800pro.. the x800xt cost about the same as the 6800u
 
This pro is a VIVO and it does flash, it's in the FS/FT. I am wondering whether to buy that or a 6800U. So basically what will perform better an XT or U?
 
how much are ya paying for the ultra and the pro vivo? I would say the pro would have a little edge in speed..but for overclocking...the pro probably does not have much headroom left..the ultra would ahve alot more though because it is a real ultra @ stock while the vivo is running at wut? xt or xtpe speeds?
 
The Pro would be 350 Ultra would be like 380, 390. Pro is at XT, but I bet if I put an Arctic Cooler on it, it could hit PE.
 
I'll probably get the U just cuz it will probably O/C much farther than the Pro.

Im just saying it waswnt really a fair comparison. Of course a card that has a 70% chance of flashing to another card, isnt better then a top of the line card.

Something like 6800Ultra vs X850XT would be more accurate, considering an X800XT (Or X850XT) can be OCed to PE speeds with relitive ease.
 
And if you're poor(doubtful), or if something crazy breaks on the card that's not your fault, flashed bios while give away oc'ing, will general stuff shouldn't. So that can be considered if you ever want to rma the card for some reason other than oc'ing.

As soon as I buy it there is a hot deal on an XL AIW... Just my luck... :eek:

You think that's bad, a week after paying $420 for my BFG 6800GT the eVGA 6800 Ultra goes on sale for $400.
