Pros: To the last reviewer.....the 350Mhz was probably the 2D speed you were seeing.

Cons: none

Overall Review: none

Pros: NV41 core overclocks well 460Mhz with Zalman aircooler.

Cons: This card has 8 pixel pipelines. Even eVGA's website used to list these as 12. I talked to eVGA support and they have since changed the product description to 8. The 256mb XT might have 12 pipes but I doubt it...otherwise they would just sell it as a 6800nu. Newegg really needs to change their description.

Overall Review: 2.8ns ddr

Pros: Good price 24pp, 8 TMU, 8 ROP, 8 VS

Cons: Cant seem to overclock the memory at all, with any program without instant lock-up. Must be bios.

Overall Review: The GPU itself, uses an internal, 256-bit ring bus. Two, separate, uni-directional buses, each 128-bit. Go to wiki, look up ring topology...used in telecom for a long time with sonet. External connection to memory chips is 128-bit. Sorry, deal with it.

Pros: Great performance for the price. Mine turned out to be a good overclocker. Most of these should go beyond 700MHz with a slight bump in voltage.

Cons: None at this price

Overall Review: Geoff, hey that's great bud! I'm sure everyone that read your review (includinging yourself) is reeeaally impressed by how much you know and how smart you are..... But the point of these user reviews is for people to provide actual item useage reports.....not conclusions and personal product preferrences you have come to from forum readings.

Pros: Good card ..have the XT model.

Cons: none

Overall Review: People, the mem bus's ring architechure consists of two (one in each direction) uni-directional rings. (logical, not physical ring) The ring is 128-bit in each direction. There are some advantages to this setup but it will not offer the performance of a true 256-bit mem interface. And BTW: this is the same mem controller the X1600 series has had from the beginning...it has not changed. The X1800 has a 512-bit ring interface (256 in each direction.) Similar rings have been used in telecomm for SONET and the like for decades.
