are the Vertos from Compusa decent?
Depends on what your idea of decent is, and its all relative and in context.
1st. Its $199. No other 6800nu comes even close to that price. So right there makes it pretty decent.
2. Some people have had issues with miss cap's or broken ones in the box. I personally have bought 2 of these cards from 2 different stores (one in MASS one in CT)... both are in fine condition and running great.
3. BOth unlocked successfully, but both has Artifacts with the pipes enabled. Both run fine with no artifacts with just the pixel shader enabled. Having the pipes enabled increased my mark03 score about 1000 points from 9000 to 10,000. Just having the shader unlocked increased the score from 9000 to 9200.
4. Both have over clocked about the same. One is running at 370/780 the other at 360/770. Overclocked both are getting scores in mark03 inbtween 10,400 and 10,500.
I hope that helps answer your question.
