Galaxy Glacier 6800GT

[Shorty]

Default clock is 370 rather than 350, memory at 1ghz.

Gonna see how it clocks later but for now..

1280x1024 Ultra graphics in Doom III. Zero frame drop.

Quiet as anything.. really can barely hear it. A WHOOPASS card :cool:

Gonna aquamark/3d mark it when Im back from the Dr's. So far.. Im mega impressed with it :)

EDIT:: Quick check with coolbits hack says max clock 400 with memory at 1.05ghz stable.

We shall see :cool:

And it's purdy...

And it's purdy...
It's a frickin monster :D

First one was DOA .. I had to RMA it. Wasn't expecting it back yet.

Put a real smile on my face today I can tell ya!

Hang on a sec, your trying to lower your stress levels and your playing Doom 3. Thats clever.

I only played it for a minutes.. just wanted to see what the card can do.. at the moment.. Im not taking that risk :thumbsup:

It's really smooth. More interested in benching it for a change :)

Shorty, Where did you get it from in the end?

[Geeky1]

You should be able to max out Doom 3 on that thing Shorty :) On my Leadtek 6800GT, at the default 350/1000, I get 47.8fps in timedemo1 at 1600x1200, maximum quality settings, 2x fsaa, 4x af, and texture quality in nVidia's control panel set to "quality". :)

AND he is on a A64 system. I have a 6800 non gt and its not oced or anything on a A64 3400+ I can max it and still get 45fps running timedemo1 at the highest settings

[Shorty]

<3 my A64. Seeing the benefit FINALLY :D

i see that you guys OC your cards, what program do you use to do so?

A tiny registry hack unlocks some hidden nVidia functions known as "coolbits".

It has a manual overclock bar with the ability to detect your maximum safe overclock :)

I can hit 405mhz core 1.07ghz memory on this with a 5c temperature rise. That cooler is VERY efficent. My card is effectively an ultra. Has all 16 pipes & the core/mem speeds of an ultra :)

I could probably go higher as the nVidia detection is a little conservative but Im not a big overclocker anyway, so this is plenty enough for me (ultra speeds for GT money!) :D

[leishi85]

for your nvidia card, u can use the coolbit, registry hack.

Jim,

I got it straight replacement from MicroDirect. They were totally no hassle at all :)

[croc_]

LOL your avatar just changed to the animated batman going "POW POW POW". I'm easily amused. :X

[^Ben]

Need to sort out cooling in case :D

[csimon]

It looks a lot like a great big Arctic Cooler!!!
so what's your timedemo demo1 score shorty?

[GnomeWizardd]

yea with coolbits i get 410 core and 830 mem I love my 6800 leadtek it ocs like a mofo! and thats stock cooling i cant wait to get my hands on the artic silencer 5 for it!

[Shorty]

The arctic silencer rocks! :D

Chris, I've been totally snowed under with work.. I've not even had time to even run a game with it, let alone benchmark it :(

Im hoping to get some time to bench it this weekend :vimp:

[druidvideo]

I ordered one yesterday after deciding they are the best designed card of the NV40 range. :Rocker:

I love it :cool:

Need to do some benchies on it ;D

[KINGPIN]

you did't tell the price of it

[Shorty]

you did't tell the price of it
I paid £300 :)

How much it would be in the USA depends on where you buy it from ;)

[druidvideo]

I got mine from cpucity.co.uk for £300. I love this card. Its nice being able to load up older games and run them at 8xFSAA and 16 AS.
