PNY 6800GT's in stock

[MattyD]

I just ordered one from:

http://www.pcwcomponentcentre.co.uk/...6800ga8f26lpbg

only £276.12 too

[MattyD]

woohoo order now says 'item ready for delivery'

[Byatt]

that's a bloody good deal considering (I think) these cards outpace an x800 pro, so long as you don't push AA and AF too far, and even then it's a close run thing.

[$h@d0w]

I feel for the people who ordered it for £320 at the same place.

[MattyD]

Well it turned up this morning, slapped it in so far so good

[Grey M@a]

and the best thing is, the GT's will clock higher than their bigger brother the Ultra, you just got yourself a decent card that will clock get it beasted

[MattyD]

I chucked it in my rig before I left for work, clocked it to 400/1100 and ran 3dmark01/03. 24963/12465 with the 61.72 WHQL drivers on an A64 3400 at 11x222, not a bad starting score. I'll do some more clocking tonight or tomorrow and see what it has to offer

[$h@d0w]

They now have the PNY Ultra in stock for 399 english pounds.

MattyD, give us some benchies at 1600*1200 with and without 4xAA and 8xAF enabled if you can, i'm interested to see how the cards cope with that compared to the X800PRO and XT.

EDIT - It's now out of stock BTW.

[$h@d0w]

And the ultra too ;/

[$h@d0w]

PNY & Aopen GT's now in stock! Ordered a PNY for myself at £280

[Jonty]

Thanks for the tip Who'd have thought PCWorld would come up trumps?

Thanks again

[$h@d0w]

Wow they are quick - mine has been 'released for delivery' ETA 21st. I chose standard delivery.

[MattyD]

Well it was my wedding aniversary yesterday so couldnt really do much testing, but I did manage to get it stable at 423/1130 Temps are good, lian li pc60 case with 4 ys-tech silent fans, so not bad airflow, it idles overclocked at 55c and doesnt really seem to go over 70c load.

I did some benchies at 410/1100 as I want to give it a chance to settle in heehe, my rigs an a64-3400 @2431mhz, geil cas2 ram and get 12656 in 3dmark03 and 25050 in 3dmark01se.

I cant do 1600x1200 as im on a TFT monitor, but IQ is easily as good as my old 98pro, IMHO better.

PS. When I ordered mine I just did the cheapest delivery option and it still arrived the next morning via fedX

Ahhhh I am so tempted to buy one of these cards while they are in stock, since my X800XT PE got delayed my money has been burning a damn hole in my pocket.

I could at least have the 6800GT for a couple of weeks then resell it for around the same price on Egay. I just NEED a card to test, lol.

Patience will be rewarded my son
