Asus HD 6850

[mywifehas36DD]

I did it. Made the switch over from Nvidia and to be honest, I couldn't be happier with my new Asus 6850. Thanks everyone for helping me in my decision a few weeks ago. I even gave it a little o/c. Currently running 950/1100 stable. Could go higher but that's were my comfort level settled in. Anyways here's some results from a run of 3DMark Vantage and Unigine Heaven both with my i7 860 o/c'ed @ 3.5ghz:

Vantage Score:
Overall- P16545
CPU- 21565
GPU- 15354

Unigine Heaven v2.0:
FPS: 31.8
Scores: 800
Min FPS: 7.5
Max FPS: 64.9

Great results ! Enjoy your new card

Thanks!! I've enjoyed it for the last week and will continue to enjoy it in the future. Infact I bought another to Crossfire yesterday. Not only will I gain more performance, but I'll also have the security of having an extra card if one of them were to fail. Was without a pc 3x while RMA'ing my old GTX260 within the last year...will always keep an extra card on hand from now on

Get a new monitor too if you can.2 6850's won't show their full potential at your current resolution

Already figured on that for tax time. I ran out of stuff to sell so I'll have to wait till then...lol.
