Anyone tried the AIW X800XL?

[Shadowmage]

I heard it's basically a AIW X800XT with lower clocks. Anyone tried it out?

BTW, do AIW cards OC with the same ease compared to the non-AIW cards?

I have had like 6 9800AIW and all have Overclocked decently.I have been seriously looking at the X800Xl.

I wish Nvidia would come out with a competive AIW, there current releases are such crap.(Just the Personal editions)

exactly :D

I heard that this uses the X800XT PCB and core, just lower clocked.

In general, charlie, how do AIW products OC compared to normal cards? Do the extra components cause avg OCs to decrease?

I have the AIW x800xt for my AGP setup.
Runs really nice, but gets really hot. I would get a waterblock for this thing or a better heatsink.
Havent OCed because of the heat and Im not planning on OCing my AGP PC, Ill be using my PCI-E for all that stuff ;)
The card also doesnt include ram sink. I know ram doesnt heat that much, but it would be nice to have some ramsink on it.

I would recommend this card over the xl, try getting the extra $30-$50 and get the xt :up:

The AIW cards are just as good as the normal cards but they get hotter, so make sure you can find a good cooling solution that is compatible.
