After waiting for a month for a 6800 Ultra to come off backorder, I got fed up and ordered an Asus AX800 Pro. Just installed it and ran the Doom 3 timedemo....My score went from 44fps with a 9800 Pro to 73.7 x800 Pro! I knew the difference would be big, but daaaamn! I'm likin it.
And I've also been reading about unlocking the extra four pipes on the x800 Pro cards. From what I read, the VIVO models are what I need...Now I think I got a VIVO card. Has a yellow connecter on the end of the card, and the RAM chips are the Samsung ones. I rember reading that 1.6 Samsung chips are what ya need to do the BIOS flash. If the last two numbers of the # on the chips is "xxxx16", I have the 1.6 chips right? I'm hoping so...Would be cool to have gotten the VIVO card without knowing it when I ordered.
