Xfx 6800nu Pci-e

[Juic3]

Anyone tried this one ?

A friend bought it and it can take about 460/1120, 58 on idle and load its hitting about 87c, is it me or are those clocks amazing ? OF course this is just a test on the stock fan, maybe when theres enuff money to get a vf700-cu or thermalright v1 it should be worth it.

This is the one Im talking about: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814150111

Does it really use GDDR3? Wow... those are some pretty amazing clocks. I'm inclined to not believe it--I've never seen a 6800 nu with GDDR3, much less at those clocks.

Amazing if true! Your friend might have gotten a gem though, I highly doubt very many could get that high...

Lol yeah thats what Im telling him, that he got a GEM, now he needs to save up a bit for a good fan. It did 5300 in 3dmark2005, hes right behind my 6800GT @ 400/1100 damn haha.

Wow that is really good. Did he try to unlock the extra pipes yet?

Nah, as far as I know you cant unlock on PCI-E, so I havent told him to try.

Really? I did not know that.

AGP is the only one you can unlock.

For clarification

AGP 6800 = NV40. Full 16 pipes, 4 unlocked through software due to defects or to meet demand for the midrange.
PCIe 6800 = NV41. Natively 12 pipes, nothing to unlock.

The stock cooler doesnt seem that good though, its hitting 80's on LOAD with stock clocks. I never hit that with my previous 6800NU AGP. This one does come overclocked from factory though, 350/900.
