Just bought the Leadtek 6800GT... Question!

WillJitsu · Aug 25, 2005

I just received my refurbished Leadtek A400 GT TDH Geforce 6800GT 256MB GDDR3 AGP 4X/8X Video Card - OEM from newegg. According to the warranty, it's good for 15 days. My question is what can/should I do in the next 15 days to verify this card is fully functional and nothing is wrong with it? I plan to overclock it as soon as my new motherboard gets here tomorrow. Any certain tests I can/should run? Thanks!

Just throw it in the rig. If it works, it works. Try a few games as well

One thing I noticed is that on Newegg's product page it lists the Memory Clock @ 1000 MHz, but when I loaded up RivaTuner, it detected the Memory Clock @ 900 MHz.

Here's the Newegg link:

Does anyone know which one is supposed to be correct?

I have the exact same card, Out of the box it runs 350/1000.

That's weird. However, I did some more checking and I took a look at Leadtek's site. Apparently there are 2 different A400 GTs. Here are the two links:

Mine [WinFast A400 GT TDH(Clock 350/450MHz)]:
http://www.leadtek.com/3d_graphic/winfast_a400gt_tdh_c350_2.html

Yours [WinFast A400 GT TDH]:
http://www.leadtek.com/3d_graphic/winfast_a400_2.html

They do differ in Memory Clock by 100 MHz. Now I have no idea which one of those is better or if there are any other major differences. Does anyone else know?

I sure didn't know they had 2 different models of the 68gt agp. Don't see much difference except in the memory.

WillJitsu · Aug 26, 2005

I wonder why they made two separate models if there's only that one difference. :-/

if newegg had it listed as 1000 on the memory which all gt's should be and you got one thats 900 i would send it back, cuz gt is 350/1000 not 900

Newegg just had it listed wrong. There is a Leadtek A400 with a 900 MHz Memory Clock according to http://www.leadtek.com/3d_graphic/winfast_a400gt_tdh_c350_2.html
