Um, no... then it wouldn't be a factory O/C.

As for the 7800GT comparison, it's comparing with the 8600GTS. I'll look up some benches, but I just heard it somewhere. Maybe the GT is more like the 7800GS (wait, was this a card? I know they had them in laptops).

Woops! I guess I made a mistake. Sorry guys! The 8600GTS performs at the x1950pro level. I guess I must of read a bad review or something :(

Wait, I thought BFG factory OC's all there cards. Am I wrong?

BFG offers an overclocked and stock version.

Wasn't aware they made stock versions, but sure enough, they do.

Ok, so it came in today. I have something to do for the next couple hours but then I'll install it.

I just ran my current card and I got this
Futuremark - ORB - Result Analyzer
2850 3d06 marks
It scored around 4300 on 3dmark05. I've got the results somewhere.

[edit]
Ok, for some reason, it scored only 4497 on 3dmark06
Futuremark - ORB - Result Analyzer
or is that normal?
On 3dmark05 I got a bit more
Futuremark - ORB - Result Analyzer
8894


I can play lots of games at full or near-full res and full eye-candy (AA and AF at full (6 and 16 or w/e)

Aww man. This is the first time I've been mad at Newegg.
Look what just came out like a day ago.
Newegg.com - SAPPHIRE 100200L Radeon X1950GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Video Card - Retail
I would totally exchange my 100200L for that, but I just talked to an egg and they said you can't exchange or refund.

:'(
and I can't just RMA it and say its broken cuz thats not the type of person I am

Too bad I jumped the gun on that one.

I don't get it, you posted a link to the same card it sounds like you got?

[Zambini]

haha, my bad, i meant this one
Newegg.com - SAPPHIRE 100196L Radeon X1950PRO 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Video Card - Retail

how much do U think my 6800 is worth?
Newegg.com - Buy Computer Parts, PC Components, Laptop Computers, Digital Cameras and more!
New 6800s are between 100-140, so mine is probably worth like 70-80?

I got the 100199L X1950GT (mine is 256MB versus the 512MB)... for most of the games and such that I do, this is fine for me and still plays everything as high as it will go
