The 6800NU only loses to the 9800XT and 5950U in high resoultions with AA/AF enabled. Because, it only has 128MBs of memory versus the 9800XT and 5950U 256MB. AA/AF required more memory to utillize with newer titles consuming more texture memory. 128MB isn't good enough for AA/AF for newer titles.

You write in your Article:
"In order to disable the defective pipe-work and restore the card’s operability you will need special software and a specially modified version of the BIOS."
Can anyone around here tell me from where I get this special software and modified BIOS?
Thanks so far for the Info

I have a 6800 GT w/ an AMD 64 FX-51, 1 GB registered Corsair RAM. I can't overclock my card past 367/1.03 mhz. I have an Antec True 480 power supply and cooling seems OK. I have never seen the card get above 77C. I have a friend who has the same setup except his CPU is a AMD 3200, he can OC his to 401/1.05 mhz. Any idea why I can't OC the card anymore?
Thanks fo your help,
JLS
