It's not very powerful, but it looks great I think, why don't more manufacturers do this?

I agreed that XFX sucks. Used to own the xfx5900, and can't overclock much. Just got the 7800GT, and it sucks *** in overclocking it too.

I am currently happy with the wonderful lady on my X1900 XT. Ruby is always nice to look at.

gotta love how people get a card or cpu and say its crap cause you cant get 100000mhz out of it...

i own the XFX 7800GT and she overclocks like snot (520/1205) stock cooling and stock voltage. I cant wait to get another one next month.

well, good for you. I got the exact identical card like yours, and mine won't go above 480/1130.

If you are talking about stock speed, yes, XFX is good. But I bet if your card o/c like mine, you won't really call it awesome....

I used to own an XFX 5900XT and it overclocked well. I have no complaints about them.

I'd like to see more cards in the future that look as clean as the Chaintech Ti4600 did a few years ago. Black board and all gold trim. It had a classy look.

Let the flamming begin.

I own that card, in fact I own two xFx 6800XT's in SLI. I also have them oc'd to 400/1150 with the stock air coolers. I can play FEAR on Maximum settings at 1024 x 768 without any problems. I have also scored 19,000 on 3dmark03...not to bad for $240 after rebates.

Flame on.

Uh, because most manufactures are worried more about performance instead of the bling factor. The way they should be, you know...
