Well for quite some time now I have had issues with my Brand New Radeon 9800 Pro Video Card. I have spoken to ATI a few times, the people who put my machine together and Ramsa about my problem. Seems that I have a defective video card. I don't want to get into details but I ordered a new card. I actually am ditching Radeon and going with a new type of beast!!
It is The GeForce 6800 GT Overclocked
Here are the specs!
> GPU NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT.
> Bus Type AGP.
> Memory 256MB GDDR3.

Yeah, I burned up two 9800 Pros before I went with an after-market fan. Thinking of GeForce for my next machine. Happy simming.

And the best thing is it will still clock higher than what you got it at. Expect to get at least 400 outta the core.
A standard 6800Ultra runs at 400/1100, you should be able to reach these speeds no problems.
I got my Ultra running at 435/1200 and all is fine. You will not be dissapointed with the card if the IQ is anything like my Ultra. Screenies just dont do it justice.

Yea i would just go with the standers geforce. Not this BFG or anyother kinds of things that r lik half the price cuz the performance aint as good. I have the 6800 gt and can overclock but to worried about temp. SOO Untill i get some sort of water cooling theen ill do that
(gixer how much was ur comp? Its amazing)

The BFG car looks like its an Nivida reference board anyhow with their own sticker on. It doesn't deviate away from the Nvidia design much by the look of it. Maybe have BFG's own BIOS though.
Same with my XFX 6800Ultra. Its an Nvidia reference board with there own BIOS which does whatever it does and ups the standard clock speed to 425/1200 ;D
I dunno how much my PC cost lol. I just upgrade a bit every now and then. I was lucky and got hold of my 6800Ultra rather cheap after having a stroke of luck (For once in my life) So I reckon my last upgrade (mobo, cpu and g/card) was about

I am sorry Silver, that comparison shot was taken off their site. I do have two fans also! :P
This was taken off their site also. I did not know what it looked like when I posted the 1st shot. When I received the card yesterday, I was quite impressed!!

Oooo, Ooooh, the best part of it is, it has a bright blue light that lights up the inside of the computer. Real slick!
Man it sure is big though!
