What's the Geforce 6800 GTO?

Im coincerned at the temp this card runs at. Are you saying it runs at 100c even without the shaders and pipes unlocked straight out oif the box? I wonder why this card runs so hot? I found a post about a BFG 6800 GT where a guy was getting 100c with his card and he asked them about it and...

What's the Geforce 6800 GTO?

Dell seems to have done a pretty good job of keeping the system cool... I have mine under my desk. I can tell that it is getting warm thought because I can feel the hotter air coming up from beneath my desk. Thing is spuper quiet too. Think its the most quiet PC I have ever had. Yep... London...

Refurbed Dell 8400 3ghz @ $499 vs AMD DIY build.

Well, I have built every computer I have ever owned myself except for my TSR line and My Commodore line (64, and Amiga 500). I went with Dell a few days ago. Why would I do that you ask? A one Day sale they were running that gave 40% off anything off $2499.00. For $1850.00 I got: 20.1"...

What's the Geforce 6800 GTO?

The beer was just a general sale beer. We have very few micro brewries around here... but I do so love those! Not a big wine drinker myself but I love beers. Dark beers, light beers, etc. I usually only drink the more exotic ones... not too into Budweiser or the like. Appreciate you asking...

What's the Geforce 6800 GTO?

Well, I decided not to mess with the clock speeds. I am going to wait till Half Life 2 comes out. . . and if I see and immense need to overclock at that point, I will. I dont think the enabling of the extra pipes and shaders have any harsh effect on the card though from what i can see...

What do you have your current settings set to for overclocking the card so that I can get a base of how high I can set it?

Ok. Thaks Knyghtbyte. Ill give a go tomorrow when Im more awake after a nights sleep. Did you get the 16x Dual Layer DVD Burner by chance? And if so, are you going to try the firmware update to make it a 3500? Mine came as an NEC-3100 which I think is stock. Supposedly, you can flash the...

What's the Geforce 6800 GTO?

Well, I managed to find the Firmware to o this with and I flashed it. I used 2 different versions. 2.06 and 2.16 I believe and they flashed fine, but when I tried to burn a -R DVD, it would fail the "Disk AT Once" Function and tell me it couldnt burn at 2.4 and end the attempt before it was...

Hello everyone. I just bought me a new Dell 8400 and was trying to find out about this graphics card (6800GTO) and stumbled upon this forum by mere chance/luck. I am reading about how you guys have unlocked the extra pipes and overclocked the card. I also see that one of you flashed the Dual...
