X850 XT PE VIVO (dual DVI) vs. X850 XT PE (DVI/VGA)

[AthlonAlien]

Anyone have any information on which one of these cards overclocks better? I was just curious if there was any difference... Any comments would be greatly appreciated. Perhaps a few people could post the O/C results and which of the 2 cards they have?

-Thanks

The slight overclock you are going to receive isn't going to make a difference running HL2 with 150FPS or 157FPS... It's quite insane to pick one of these purely on overclock factor. Myself, I'd go with Dual DVI. You have two digital outputs and if you need to connect a VGA monitor, all you gotta do is connect an adapter that should come with the card.

Its insane to pick a card for its overclock feature or higher fbs? Thats what its all about dude. If you are not in a bind go for the gold and get the x850 xtpe! I have one and it overclock really good (compared to my x800xtpt) and its allways nice to be the fastest kid on the block

Ok, you just compared an x850 to an x800... This dude is choosing between an X850XT PE and, umm... AN X850XT PE!!! That's why the slightest of oveclock differences between the two won't make much difference, it's the same CARD!!!

DId he mean just regular x850xt?

Do they both have VIVO? I'd like that on my card, but otherwise it's a toss up between the two.

No, both cards do NOT have VIVO. Only the dual DVI ones with the RageTheater chip on the back.
