Comments: my XFX 6800 runs at 47 idle, never above 53 at load with this fan. massive improvement from the stock fan. this simple heatsink and fan by far out performs any other aftermarket rig i've used in the past.

Comments: This is an awesome card. Unlocked extra pipes no problem. no artifacts at all. I would replace the stock fan with Zalman VF700-CU. comes with ram sinks also, and all 8 ram modules are on the same side of the card, around the gpu so no need for a massive wrap around heat sink. Also, don't bother with the nvidia official drivers on certain systems this card for some reason just won't work properly with them. I'm running an athlon 2600+ OC'ed to 2.4 gigs, 1.5 gigs of DDR 400, on an abit NF7 mobo even with an older mobo processor combo this card still preforms off the wall. 3d mark 05 = 4133 3d mark 03 = 9671 aquamark = 50,499 (7351 gpu) at 1024 x 768 res i can run BF2 with everything on max except AA and hang between 70-100 fps large fire fights i never drop below 50 fps. again if your performance is lacking, try modded drivers, im using ngo forceware drivers. with stock nvidia drivers BF2 was unplayable at anything better than medium settings.
