AMD FireGL V7100 100-505090 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 Graphics Card

Comments: Wow, you guys don't know what you are talking about (refering to the first two reviews). This card smokes in Maya. Renders pretty fast and renders a lot of polygons. The reason why it is so expensive is the core. It supports like, 5 times more polygons than an NVIDIA 7800GTX.

Ehh...

EVGA GeForce 6800GT 256MB GDDR3 AGP 4X/8X Graphics Card 256-A8-N344-AX
EVGA GeForce 6800GT 256MB GDDR3 AGP 4X/8X Graphics Card 256-A8-N344-AX

Pros: Well... It's a 6800 GT, and it works...

Cons: I had the same problem as the guy a couple of reviews down, the card came with 8 pixel pipelines, and 4 vertex shaders enabled, which is reallllyyy weird. But I was unable to unlock the card to 16/6 without any problems w/riviatuner, just like a regular 6800 GT.

Overall Review: Only buy this card if you know what you are doing when it comes to moding cards. You can either flash the BIOS to a regular 6800 GT, or unlock the pipes in riviatuner.

Pros: Great board! Ok OCer, PCI-E.

Cons: Dosn't like Newarks.

Overall Review: Great motherboard. Running an x1800 XT with a 3700 ClawHammer non Mobile @ 2.85GHz on PhaseChange. I know that most of you people do not know how to properly operate a motherboard from the likes of your reviews. Ever heard of a little thing called BIOS FLASHING??? I geuss not, thats why your getting BIOS problems, the old stock BIOS dosn't support the stuff you guys jam in it. BIOS flashing will fix BIOS, and hardware compatability issues. Also, this motherdosn't come with a CPU fan, are you thinking of the chipset fan? They are two TOTALLY different things. Your PROCESSOR comes with a CPU HSF (heatsink and fan), but the CHIPSET fan is the lil thing built onto the board. I with people knew what they were talking about in most of these reviews. It's not a good thing to mislead people with your faulty information.

Great alue

Pros: Cheap, lots of digital output jacks, sounds good, drivers work fine.

Cons: Nothing.

Overall Review: This card works great, the drivers work fine and the card even started to work before I restarted the computer after installing the drivers that came with the card. I have had no problems with this card whatsoever.
