6800 - GT.

Hi guys, im buying a gfx card, and its arrivaing soon.

This is it "Leadtek Winfast A400 TDH geforce 6800 unlocked to GT (16 pixel pipleines)"

Notice the "6800 UNLCOKED TO GT"

Will i need to do anything on my PC in order to get this GT working ?

Thanks

How much did you pay?

Some ones had you, its a 6800NU with unlocked pipes, this wont perform anywhere close to a 6800GT on new games as the 6800gt has 256mb ram.

I believe the 6800 Ultras can be had for those prices? Though unsure.

Sorry dude but you got ripped off. Unless the cards bios has been modded then you will need to run rivatuner and unlock the extra pipes/overclock and bring it up to GT speeds although it will never be as good as a full blown GT

Mate if you can still get out of it, i'll sell you my real leadtek 6800gt 256mb for £130 lol.

Clocks past ultra.

Im afraid if you look in the members market thee cards go for around £80 so he was too expensive. I bought a 6800 GT and 6800 a few months back for £190 for both

Drake5 · 15 Apr 2006 at 15:53

its not that bad, could be much worse. Let it be a lesson, always do your homework first before parting with your cash

check in nv control panel hbow much ram it has, Id wager 128mb ie its a hacked 6800 vanilla thatgs had the extra pipelines unlocked. Thats why it has half the ram, thats what people mean though it will appear as a gt esp if its had its firmware flashed to change its id.

Vegeta · 15 Apr 2006 at 16:08

It still wont perform near a 6800gt lol, feel bad for ya.

Drake5 · 15 Apr 2006 at 16:14

EDIT ::

SORRY FOR SWEARING.

sgoaty · 15 Apr 2006 at 16:15

edit that swearie mate its not worth getting a ban

Vegeta · 15 Apr 2006 at 16:18

Why the hell are you swearing at me you idiot? I'm on your side.

Well, im ****** off right now. I never get any money, and selling my TFT was my last resort. If this appears to be something else instead of the thing i bought, i will be really angry.

BTW its agp not pci-e

- ****** off.

No need to get stressed, it will still play games fine. Just paid a little more than you should have done.

JaFFa · 15 Apr 2006 at 16:24

it will perform as well as 6800gt in most gamers just not those with large texture requirements.

If its truly modded to gt levels he will have clocked it too.

But still it was a bit of a rip.

Vegeta · 15 Apr 2006 at 16:24

Yeah the guys still had you, I sold that exact same card to someone on members market for £80 not too long ago, and I also bought a proper 6800gt for £130.
Is there no way you can get your money back?

What games do you play at what res? You might not notice the difference, I did though because I game at 1680X1050 and I want to use high textures.
