6800xt PCIe benchmarks?

[Jebazor]

I was wondering if anyone knows of a place with benchmarks for the 6800xt, it is a cheap card and wanted to know if it was decent for a sub-$100 card.

The 6800XT is crippled down to 8 pipelines. It's really a bad buy unless you're a gambler, as there is a chance it can unlock to 12 or even 16 pipelines... but no guarantee.

The best sub-$100 best is the PCI-e X800 GTO, which is guaranteed a full 12 pipelines, and performs incredibly for that price.

Yeah, I know, I just need to find some benchmarks about it for someone.
They want "proof".

They seem to think that it can outdo a 6600gt, and have an xfx xtreme version of the card and argues that it is better.

Here's some benches of a Galaxy 6800XT that came factory overclocked with 425mhz on the core.

The 6600 GT still beats it at least half the time...

Judging from the current review of Nvidia cards, Toms might not review that card till later on after its been discontiued. (ie: the 6800 GS)

That's just what I was looking for, thanks Cleeve.
