I bought an Aopen 6800GT at Dabs UK. The version with the 'free' Doom3 game.
Well, I was quite shocked by the optimal setting in the Nvidia 61.77 drivers
after installing the Coolbits registry fix. I expected say 400/1100 or such.
Instead, I gota whopping 600/1400!!! It offered this repeatedly and after
reboots etc and I even ran it as such for a few minutes. I decided it was
too much of a risk and so clocked back to 420/1100 for now. I think
capability score shown for the card is likely reasonably accurate since in
the same rig, a few months ago, I did have another copy of this card but it
would only go to 390/1090. Indeed that card felt sluggish to this one.
I guess the gpu yields have gotten better and maybe they are using faster
memory. If so, it augurs well for buyers. It occurs to me that Dabs, when I
last looked yesterday, still had some of these cards - likely same batch.
Maybe the batch is very good. If you're buying a 6800GT, it might be worth
looking at Aopen at Dabs. I am not a fan of Dabs but sometimes even they get
something right.
