    6800NU still has life!

    Picked up a generic 6800NU pci-e 256MB off Anandtech for sale forums for $45 shipped. Just wanted to play with it, it had HDR and my X850XT didn't even though I knew it wasn't as fast.

    Flashed the bios to mod the gpu voltage to 1.4v from the stock 1.2v.

    Proceeded to clock it up to 440/825 from the stock 325/600. Cleaned the stock cooler and added silver thermal paste.

    70c under full load, hit 5300 in 3DMark 05 on a A64 @ 2800Mhz. Not too far behind my X850XT which hit 6300 overclocked. Played GRAW2 pretty good, had to drop the resolution from 1184 x 862 (X850XT) to 1024 x 768 all details at max.

    Not breaking any records, but it did play the game smoothly and HDR looks great in that game.

    E6400 @ 3200MHz, Biostar G31 M-7, HD 4870 1GB, 2GB DDR800, Antec EA430
    E4300 @ 3040MHz, Gigabyte P31-S3G , HD 4870 1GB, 2GB DDR800, OCZ StealthXStream 400
    E6600 @ 3100MHz, Asrock G31M-S, 9600GT @ 775/1975/2000, 2GB DDR800, OCZ StealthXStream 400, Ultra Microfly

    Cool, I'll pass this on to my bro. He has a BFG 6800 that could use a little boost.

    LOL! Real killjoy, ain't he?

    Anyway, I sold my friend my old rig - S754 A64 3400+ Claw/1GB KVR (BH5)/MSI 6800U - and he's happy with it. Runs s all the games he plays @1024x768 (res of his monitor), max detail, 2xAA/4xAF. But then, he ain't playing very graphically demanding games, most demanding being D3 which the 6800U can handle easily.
