just purchased the eVGA 6800GS AGP card, isnt this supposed to be the co edition??

[ThE B MaN]

bought it from newegg for 225, free shipping, and the package I got doesnt say co edition anywhere on it. I am guessing co means overclocked? The site advertizes it as running at 400mhz and 1100mhz for the memory, normal speed for a 6800gs is 350 and 1000 so I am guessing this should be overclocked. Just checking to see if the wrong package might have been shipped to me. Heres the link. Thanks for the help in advance!

Check the model numbers. The one you linked to should be 256-A8-N397-TX, and from the pictures, it should say CO on the box. If that's not what you got, Newegg messed up and you need to tell them.

This is it on the evga site: http://www.evga.com/products/moreinfo.asp?pn=256-A8-N397-TX&family=17

your right, they sent me n387, not n397, and tried to tell me it was my fault, that I ordered the wrong thing, when n387 isnt even listed on their site for sale! My sales reciept clearly shows that I ordered the n397.

**** them, I dont think ill ever order from newegg again.

You guys read of the reviews on that card?

Pros: Out performs my friends 7800gt in fps on FEAR. Runs Oblivion. Looks cool . . ....


Cons: Artifacts in many places. Will stop PC randomly in games for about 10 seconds. After second day it crashed after about 20 minutes of running even something as simple as FFXI or jedi academy. Runs w... More »
arm (68f) and raises case temp to 35c.

Other Thoughts: I have an MSI mobo with the intel 865 chipset. 1g ram, 2.8g P4. latest drivers for AGP as well. Also, when i first installed it, it knocked my audigy off and my computer didn't have a sound card. Only after installing its newest drivers did my sound card return. It was also hard to seat into my motherboard, but that may just be isolated, since my ram literally takes about 400psi to get to seat. It might have something to do with my powersupply, so I'll update this review after that. As of right now . . . upgrade your mobo and get an sli 7600gt which is cheaper and avoid EVGA. This is my second card from them that has done this initially. The last card (gf FX5600) did the same thing until I started using the 5500's drivers. In my case, this 6800 is large and ruins airflow unless I have an entire side of my chasis off.

Kinda funny to read.

I'd be thrilled if my video card ran at 68F, I doubt a 600GS is outperforming a 7800GT, and a 7600GT is around 200, making SLI 400ish, plus the motherboard. His 5600 had problems until he started using the 5500's drivers, nevermind that they are both forceware.

I must agree with you mate.
