XFX GeForce 6800GS 256MB GDDR3 AGP 4X/8X Video Card PVT40BUDF3

Pros: No problems so far. Unlocked to 16 pipelines with only the occasional artifacts when looking at glass in Doom 3.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Overclocking didn't seem to improve performance significantly enough so I'm running it at the stock settings and am perfectly happy.

Pros: I was able to OC the card to 420 and 1050. I also unlocked the other 4 pipes and the 1 shader. Scoring 5400 in 3Dmark05 12400 in 3Dmark03

Cons: Non Yet

Pros: owns every game i play, except for fear. 1024x768, 2xaa, 16xaf everything maxed with soft ahadows on, occasionally stutters. its a beast! didnt try unlocking the pipelines (didnt see the need)

Cons: nothing

Overall Review: 9603 in 3dmark 03... please dont write a review unless you own the product or have experience with it, we dont care about your biased opinion.

Pros: Buy it!

Cons: None.

Overall Review: As I made a mistake in my last post, I thought I would make an update. When I set the overclocking settings, I did not check the box to reload the settings on startup, so when I unlocked it to 16 pipelines, the clock rates set back to default, without me realizing it. So to recap, using 3dMark03: 10190 = Out of the box 10279 = OC to 425 core, 1100 memory 11481 = Unlocking to 16 pipelines (no OC) 12879 = 16 pipes and OC to 410 core, 1100 memory After unlocking the 16 pipelines, I could not run the core at 425 and have it stable. Still very good as it is slightly better than 6800 Ultra results on simular hardware. For reference, 3dMark05 with 16 pipes and OC was 5637. Sorry, I did not run the other tests on 3dMark05. Enjoy.

Pros: Excellent quality graphics card. 2 DVIs looks great on my 20" Dell flat panel monitors. Also plays AOE3 with superb quality.

Cons: The fan on it is loud. I ordered a silent power supply and case with it, and it really is pretty noisy.

Overall Review: 1600x1200 on both video interfaces with high color settings

Pros: I just ordered this card and it looks great. I currently have a 6600 so this a pretty big jump up from that 128MB card.

Cons: I hope there is none!

Pros: I also was able to unlock the extra 4 pipes but not the additional vertex shader. Running 16X1/5vp,392/1100 on the clocks. Haven't really had enough time to see what it'll do but running about 57C full load.

Cons: more expensive then the PCI version and lack of other gfx cards of this quality in this price range. Would have been great if the other vertex shader would have worked.

Overall Review: I also am running a P4 3.0ghz and got the same scores as the reviewer below. I think the price will come down to 6800nu prices in another month but I didn't want to miss out. I wanted to long to get a 6800nu.

Pros: One of the best available for AGP

Cons: More costly than PCI-X version.

Overall Review: The core is not the same as the PCIX 6000GS. This card uses the NV40 core and the PCIX uses the NV42 core. The reason for this is NV40 is native AGP and NV42 is native PCIX. Why they only clocked it at only 350 MHz is not clear though, but if I were to guess it would be so that they could use the less expensive thermal solution.
