Hullo folks, this sites forum came up when i was trying to discern what the GTO graphics card i ordered from Dell actually was.....now i know, this site and another gave me the lowdown on the actual stats.
The card isnt actually as bad as your probably thinking, on my new puter...
Pentium4 3.0Ghz (800fsb with HT)
1Gb DDR2 400 RAM
6800 GTO (not overlcocked or modded in any way)
SB Audigy2 (Dell)
80Gb 7200rpm HD
i got 9,500 marks on 3dMark03...
didnt at the time know there was a 3dMark05 to test it on, alas the video card did have a fault, but it was to do with the connectors, not the chips or anything, so its back with Dell at the mo, hopefully back by friday
from PC Gamer (UK) test results on a similar system to mine (533fsb on the P4 but same Ghz and only 512Mb DDR RAM) on the 6800 GT (normal version) scored approx 10,000 marks, so i assume if u double the RAM and add a bit for the fsb difference then the GTO isnt actually out of line costwise, at least not from UK Dell (i should probably mention im an advertising executive in a call centre environment who gets people to pay for something they can have for free so getting the Dell guy to make the system i ordered cheaper wasnt too difficult...lol)
Also if you mod the GTO to unlock the pipes and bump up the RAM speed you will probably find your card performing as well as the conventional GT does.
Hopefully i've been helpful, scuse me if i've twittered on some, i get carried away typing sometimes ;-)
