i really like BFG too, the only thing is their o/c's are too mild these days compared to other brands, having said that....

back in 04 i rushed out with $850 AUD and bought the BFG 6800 Ultra OC AGP and never looked back. that card crunched pixels for years, and still would if it worked, i get the feeling a mate i lent it to fucked it. still even tho it sux by todays standards, i'd love to get it fixed, i mean i payed so much for it and tweaked it so much, its almost like loving a child...

thats pretty much why i go for a reference design these days, i can always exceed what manufacturers put out, and with XFX's warranty, they're practically asking you to go nuts.

i reckon less than 24 hours before this card has a full blown oc-ing/modding thread done by sol.

tentatively i would say you'll reach 800 on the core, around 2000 on the shaders and hopefully 2ghz+ on the ram. but thats a stab in the dark going from my experience with G80's, G84's and G92's

you'd think all boxed up and new like that he would at least get a driver CD to make the card work. if not meybe the most recent beta's will do the trick?
