good review but it is heavily cpu limited, especially in 3dmark 2001. However the x800gt looks like a really good bang for the buck, especially with a cpu bottleneck. Unlocking pipes is tricky business and rarely works since those are leftover cores and have bad pipes. Id just get an x800pro or x800xl if I needed alot of pipes

The benchmarks are heavily cpu limited, I will see how it scales with cpu speed soon enough... I have to wait for slightly better cooling but it seems that will be a little further off than I thought.
On water it overclocks really high (660+ on core) so a voltmod and some subzero cooling would be very nice.
Strange that I seem to have such a high clocking card, yet it was standard retail boxed product, perhaps replacing stock TIM helps a lot
If I could unlock this card to 16 pipes it'd probably beat my x850 despite the diff in memory speeds.
