does anyone know of 3dmark record w/ 8800 GTX yet?

Coolaler has performed several tests but mostly on stock and checking chipsets performance (wich point I dont see since its so minimal difference).
But I havent heard from World Records yet..

23000 3dmark06, with a picture of the heatsinks in use. Pretty crazy stuff.

You got a promotion to Honorary Poster.

Yep, Klngpln broke the 3DMark06 record.

Here's the fancy video, Nivdia commercial and it didn't show the record breaking run.

I'm not sure, sailormonz. Other things equal, the avg. temp of the entire chip is going to be higher for the QX6700 at X clock speed, compared to the X6800 at X clock speed for sure, but that doesn't tell us a hell of a lot about the temp at particular points inside the chip... Eventually, you're going to hit a point where you'll totally fry a gate in the chip no matter how much cooling you have on top of it. It may be that that will occur at roughly the same clock speed in both chips. If so, then OCing the QX6700 and the X6800 is going to top out at about the same point, and there'd be no benefit in an X6800 vs. the QX6700...

But, if the X6800 really can OC higher with the best cooling out there, then you're right... for now.
