    Nice, I plan to get one of these babies too :D preffablely the connect 3D, Also Im sure you can flash these to the X850 Xt -PE's Bios :rock:.

    Also this guy does some crazy volt/cooling mods. "make your card look like a fire engine" :lol:

    Those cards are pretty damn good value for money, that score is only ~2000 off my GTX. It'd be even closer when unlocked (only the Sapphire ones unlock IIRC).

    Crazy guy! I can definately do better, but theres no way I'm sticking a pelt on it and going that extreme. Under water and voltmodded I might hit 650/625 or so, but who knows. Need to experiment a bit and see if can water cool the card's RAM without too much restriction... Will try the Omega drivers as well.

    But value-wise this card cant be beat. Paid under $350 for that Opteron and x800GTO combined...

    just jioned the connect3d x800gto club, all pipes unlocked @ 16p, 540Mhz core, 560Mhz mem. 40c Idle, 73C is the highest its gone so far. Currently artifact checking, downloading 3dmark 05, will post results later.

    How much did the connect3d cards set you all back ?
    Just trying to compare this for value against the x80xxl (which is already 16 pipes) and even the 6800GT etc.
    I think my 6800gt used to give about 6k anyhow. And they can be had for near 150.
    What you guys think?

    A GTO2 is 99% garuanteed to unlock with out any problems. With a standard GTO it either might not unlock or the pipelines could be damaged leading to artifacts.

    ...This makes no sense. I get around 5533 with my 6800GT at 415/1080 in '05. Either the X800GTO is officially the new value for money card for the next two months, or I'm smelling some BS...

    No BS here - that was running at the clocks noted and with an Opteron (San Diego) overclocked past FX-57 speeds. I'm hoping to pass 7k soon (finals week ATM) after putting it on water and possible doing a slight volt mod. They are excellent cards, but I've been seeing 7800GTs for $280 or so, which also are a good option.
