Hello Steve
I know none of my buisness
But why on earth are you buying another V/card t=you just bought one
How many comps do you have

or do you just have all kinds of money

If you want to give me some I will send you my Addy

Although that is a good deal on that card.

because ATI cards rock, lol, i was just messing around on my old system, with a 9800XT, and the image quality is WAY better than my 6800GT,and the performance isn't that much lower , was getting 100 fps with everything set to full, and 6X AA and 8X quality AF

been reading reviews on the X800XT PE and it beat the 6800 ULTRA in almost EVERY test and benchmark, just a few games prefer the Nvidia, and i don't play those games, so i don't care, lol

LOL Carrera, true, i should have stuck with ATI in the first place, ya live and learn i guess, not sure if i'll sell the 6800GT, or slap it in my old system, and sell the 9800XT, OR , keep em both, and put the XT in my super old system, lol

very nice Steve.

I have the ATI X600 in my machine and it is amazing compared to the NVidia I used to have.

this card is amazing, i was practicing at Silverstone, and was getting an average of 150 FPS with 6 X AA and 4 X AF, everything but shadows and special effects set to full. And it looks SO much better image quality wise than my 6800GT
I put a Zalman VF700 ALCU heat sink on it, and the card refuses to go above 50C, lol, awesome stuff, if you're having overheating problems with your vid card, get one of these coolers !!! http://www.zalmanusa.com/usa/product/vi ... 0&code=013

Hey Steve,

Looks GREAT!!!

Congrats.

How do you check for the temp. of the vid card and what is the way you set yours up I'd like to try it with mine.

Thanks

go to catalyst control center, and <if it's available> click the "Overdrive" tab, thats where i check temps, IF you don't have the overdrive tab, which i don't think you will, try downloading ATI Tool < google it >
