Just bought this baby yesterday at ALL IT hypermarket
I manage to bargain it from 1499 to 1430..



The interesting bit is i manage to overclock this to 702/2646/1584. That's the exact same specs as
the EVGA SSC edition.
Have been running atitool artifact scan and it's error free for 7 hours
however fan speed at 70% with temp at 75C. Will try for lower fan speed.

I upgraded from 8800GT and noticed a tremendous difference.
So far, i've tried crysis warhead with enthusiast setting, 2x AA at 1900x1200 and it's flawless. Don't know the exact FPS
but there wasn't a lag at all
Also tried GTA IV, with highest texture and detail, view distance 30/60 and it's flawless too.
but anymore view distance and it crawls.


One thing i noticed is the high pitch sound it makes when i run the card full load.
when running atitool there's a high pitch sound but none at gaming.
It squeals when i run crysis but only for 10mins or so.
Read on some sites that GT200 tend to do that and it's normal.
I'm considering exchanging it....should i?

have you tried running atitool?
it's a high pitch kinda squealing sound...
tried increasing the fan speed to 100%...no difference
in fact, even at default speed it makes the sound

hehe..that's odd
just found out something odd is whenever i am the menu screen of crysis warhead the sound happens but not during in-game
oh well, overall, i'm actually very happy with this card...haven't tried pushing it further as it's eating up all the games i'm throwing at it with
the current settings
will try and post some benchies later

if you don't get the sound on your card, you're one of the lucky ones..so enjoy dude.

atitool 0.26
it's quite old
