Got my 6800GS Yesterday. XFX version. Factory Overclocked to 485/1100. Lets see what its got.

Test System:
DFI Ultra-D (Modded to SLI) 0704-OCZ Bios
2x512 OCZ Gold BH-5
Opteron 144 @ 2.8Ghz (311x9)
XFX 6800GS
XClio 450Watt PS

Stock Clocks Out of the Box. 81.85 Offical Driver. WAY Better than any of the Stock EVGA's didinthe reviews. But it is Stock Overclocked. So I expected this.



After that I loaded COolbits and let the Driver find My "Optimal Settings" 521/1.17 Interesting. WAY higher than I thought the Core would go, but Much lower on the memory. I got a few artifacts here.



So I started playing with the settings a bit to see where I could go..... Memory scaled a LOT more and I had to back the core down to 509 to get the artifacts all cleared up. 509/1.30Ghz!


Then I Pulled the card. Put AS5 on the Core, left the factory air deflector off and positioned a 92mm Sanyo under the heatsink and say how far I could push it. Located the Pre-release 81.89 NVidia Drivers and loaded those up as well. Got a few artifacts here, but an awesome run. Just one evening of testing and I pulled a higher score than any of the 255 6800GT's in our list here on the forum! THis card ROCKS!
529/1.36Ghz!


THe Stock XFX Bios runs 1.37v to the Core in 3d Performance mode. I might bump it up to 1.4 to see if I can clear the artifacting up a bit. The 6800GS is definatly the real deal. Gonna order a second next week for som SLI Action.
