Connect3D X800GTO $154 AR @ Monarch

[Budarow]

So does this card unlock/overclock to X800XT PE speeds or X850XT speeds?

Thanks,

Bud

Well compare the speeds people are getting to those cards.

I can oc mine (w/ 16 pipes unlocked) all the way up to 550/1220 on stock. Im pretty sure that beats the gto but by how much is what Im wondering. Was the $50-60 extra worth it? Thanks in advanced

Be happy with what you got man. Thats a pretty decent overclock, especially since it stock. If you are that unhappy sell that for like 215, you can still make money just cuz its value has gone up and then get one of these. If you want higher overclocks go for an aftermarket cooler, but like I said thats a great overclock for stock. I haven't run the Test my max thingy on the GTO yet, but I know it can at least do 540/555 no problem on stock.

Can someone post the $25 rebate. I forgot to save it when it was still on Monarchs site.

 

[WhipperSnapper]

Regarding the rebate, which UPC do we send them? I have three stickers on mine. I have one on the very bottom of the package and two on the side.

The one on the bottom has two bar codes.

One of the two on the short side (the panel that opens the box) lists the name of the card and has a short, long bar code.

The other one on the short side lists the Monarch product number (190533) with two bar codes and says "Warranty Void if Removed".

------------------

For free shipping, it was surprisingly fast! I ordered on Tuesday morning around 9 am and it arrived on Thursday at 12:10 pm. So, it only took two days and three hours to go from Georgia up to Michigan. I also liked that Monarch shipped it with signature required--I hate it when things are just left out on the porch, abandonned for anyone to steal.

 

[Bad Dude]

Anyone else got their cards and with unlocking results?

Good question. I think void if removed narrows it down
I will have to look at mine when it arrives if no answer.

It worked, 16 pipes! but something strange, at first I thought it did'nt work..flashed it about 8 times and rechecked ATI TOOL each time unsucessfully. Finally I thought just to reinstall drivers and then ATI-Tool showed 16 pipes!!! Weird huh?

Someone link up rebate for both of us please.

LOL whipper, most people hate that about monarch since they are at work when FEDEX man comes. Then have to haul themselves down to fedex depot, stand in line, etc/

 

[ITPaladin]

$15 rebate is now up.

That thing about properly installing the right drivers in the right order has been known Zebo.

 

[Josh64FX]

Is this the right $25 rebate..

Can someone confirm that??

 

[ITPaladin]

Yes that is the one that ended on the 9th. I have already helped out the two people asking for it from my own file.

 

[Justus]

That's the correct rebate.

I agree that needing to sign for the package wrecks most deals for me at Monarch, since I work and few things are worth driving 30 miles to get from the Fedex depot.

I bought this item with three-day shipping, but Monarch bumped it up free to two-day shipping so I could get it when I was home Veterans Day.

got the card, unlock, R423 core, oc to 550/550 stable

Heh. I don't mind at all, especially since the local FedEX office is only 4 miles away. I just want to receive my item safe and secure and I'm paranoid about theft.

Those that unlock and OC, what 3dmark05 scores are you getting on this connect3d? I imagine between 6000 and 7000.

Looks good Thanks


Oh and I could only clock 540/520 artifact free with ATITOOL. Memory can't hang due to being 2.0ns on C3D card.

kinda similar for me. got a R423 core, unlocked ok, running @ 520/540 (default X850XT speeds).

best deal i've had all year (the Dell 2005FPW monitor for ~$400 would likely be 2nd best).

thanks, OP.

This might be the wrong forum to ask this question, but its related to this card. I can't get my unlocked x800gto to get anywhere close to what I'm seeing here.

Cooling doesnt have anything to do with it does it? I'm using the stock cooler, and the airflow isnt great in my case. The GPU idles around 42C.

Are you guys playing with the voltages? i'm not very experienced with oc'ingand I've never done anything like that.

I don't think i can even do 520/540.

 

[OCNewbie]

Is this the best deal on a PCI-e vid card at the moment? For bang/buck anyway? (I AM a gamer) Just ordered a new DFI mobo and I don't currently own a PCI-e vid card.
