are the pipelines in the XFX 6800 unlockable

[Phalanx]

At stock I'd say the 6600gt is a bit better, but with unlocked pipes and ocing the LE would be better.
And yes, it is compatible with the NV5 silencer.

goodie, right, i've decided to get the Aeolus 6800 LE from overclockers.co.uk since it comes with Doom 3, what is the story with overclockers 7 day return thing incase I can't get good results from unlocking the pipelines?
thx

Judging by the reports on users.hexus.net, i'd steer clear of them if you want to try and return anything!

Dunno what LOW are like for taking stuff back - I got mine form order247.co.uk and took that back with out a problem - but I dropped it in by hand as I only live a few mins away. Don't know what they'd be like for posting stuff back tho.

just checked the order247 website, they have a 6800 LE for £150, is this the one you got and if so, what manufacterer is it because the sites doesn't seem to tell you

It's a leadtek card - it was the one I had, but when it didn't unlock I took it back and bought a pci-e 6600gt instead.
Twas a bit cheaper when I bought it as well...

I would have thought a standard 6800 would be pretty cheap by now n e ways.
