Localan, could you (or anyone else) please describe to me what's included in the "Lite Retail" version? I bought a X800GTO2 "Lite Retail" from page computers, and got:

- plain, brown box
- Sapphire X800GTO2 256mb PCI-E video card
- S-video cable
- composite video cable
- S-video -> composite video adaptor
- VGA -> DVI adaptor
- Molex power -> PCI-E power adaptor
- Driver CD

I think that's it. I checked some pictures from other etailers, and it seems the "Lite Retail" version comes in a nice, pretty color box? Did Page Computers send me an OEM card when I ordered a "Lite Retail"? If so, that's a bit annoying, but they did get it to me pretty quickly. I'm mainly concerned with whether or not the OEM's have the 2yr warranty?

Mine is exactly like that, and I ordered it from Atacom. I think all of the Lite Retail versions are like that. I have yet to read of someone getting a pretty retail box.

I ordered the Lite Retail from AllStarShop.com and got it yesterday... its in a pretty box no brown box here w00t. It seems like a small box tho, but then again i havent shopped for video cards in forever. I'll take pictures later

Looks to be the same except for the box itself.

edit: On a side note, this thing is fairly heavy. It might not be as long as my 7800GTX, but it weighs nearly the same. Have it in now and will report back with unlock/OC information if anyone is interested.

DOH, guess Page Computers sent me an OEM, even though they advertised for a "Lite Retail" version . Guess everyone was right, they aren't the "best" place to order from. I did get my card rather quickly though, so I can't complain too much. I want that purdy box!!!!

ATITool 0.25 Build8 BETA gives me 559.xxMHz core, 629.xxMHz RAM after running both tests for 1hr each. I should probably run both tests for longer than 1hr, to get more accurate results. I guess I'll do that this weekend. This is on stock cooling, and running this at X850XT PE speeds (540MHz core, 590MHz RAM) gives me 6207 3dMark05's with the system in my sig. Not too shabby for <$250 . Good luck everyone with your cards!

My card seems to be working, at least, but I can't tell much more than that. Upgrading to my new motherboard did not go too well. I do believe my serial number starts the same as the other ones listed, at least.

Well ATI IS out of canada... they do things wierd there, eh? BTW Pics are in g/fs EOS 20D, just gotta get it hooked up to the computer. Even wiped the core clean and took a few shots... 0448 core for me ...

<edit> Ok here are the pics...

Goodies in box
More Goodies in box
Part/Serial #s
The Money shot -- The Core -- Think theres enough thermal paste on there? jeez... had more than enough around the core to reapply ONTO the core

...drooool. Cant wait to get it plugged in

It took me 2 weeks to get the card and I bought it to go with a new rig but I gotta say the in-game performance is just awesome. I went out and bought BF2 and can run it at full settings without a hiccup. Load times are incredible too. Well worth the $ for those that got in on it.

Just messing around, I got X850XT speeds easily and scored 5800 on 3dMark05 which compares well with 6800gt and above. Very nice for the ~$200 I gave. Finally a card I can game with.

 

[shilala]

I finally got mine all put together and set up.
491/573 rock solid stable grabbed 5899 3dmark05 w/zalman cooler.
I'm sure I can get a good bit more out of her, I just need to find time to do it.

I couldn't be more pleased with this card.

 

[SDOG34]

Atacom has it back in stock for $238.95 plus shipping. I bought it last night for $229, so it looks like they are steadily jacking up the price again.

 

[Cooljt1]

I ordered mine from atacom on 10/10 and it still has not shipped....expect to wait a while

 

[czech09]

Heh, mine does 520/540 completely stable in everything. Got 6074 on 3dmark05. I'm pretty sure I can get alot more out of it (especially memory wise). I think applying some AS5 will be the next step...

 

[SDOG34]

I ordered it last night and it has already shipped actually. Should be at my door on Wed.

are you serious man? they have been dicking around with my order then. I have called them three times and they said they have none in stock or were getting shipments in and i was 78 in line. wtf....i am calling them up and bitching them out tmw.

 

[SDOG34]

Yup, I'm serious unfortunately. It has already left California and is scheduled to arrive at my door on Wed. Call them up and bitch them out for sure. Especially considered it's listed as being in stock on their website right now.

 

[Bad Dude]

Sorry to revive the old thread but is this card, if bought now, still unlockable?
Thanks.
