Ok so as the title goes this post is a bit of a give away, the story is that I am having to RMA my AGP BFG 6800U due to the card being totally borked, I've had contact with BFG and was told that they don't offer any trade-up when replacing cards and have been told it will most likely be replaced with an AGP 7800GS, how does this card compair to the 6800U :confused:

Ah so it will be at least an equal replacement then in performance terms, thats good to know :D

Anyone know how much head way there is on the 7800GS for overclocking on standard cooler?

Yeah but isnt the 6800GS slower than the 6800U, I can understand not giving me an outright faster card but it has to be the same or slightly more performance, their not able to provide a replacement inferior to the original, lol....if they did they would have it back with a MASSIVE complaint!

So I see you eventually got through to them, good to know you are getting the 7800GS.

Yeah well I actually got a friend in the US to contact them for me and give them my details so I did it that way. BFG support finally got back to me and told me that the 7800GS is the likely replacement but hey who knows might be better but better not be worse, lol.

Does anyone know if there is a way to unlock any of the extra pipes on this card, I have no idea about overclocking GFX cards at all so if I'm talking rubbish someone slap me. How would I go about overclocking this card, are there any guides anywhere for this specific card?

Also does it support dual displays?

Does anyone know if the BFG 7800GS supports dual displays, there is a DVI and D-Sub connector on the card but I'm not sure whether they can both be used together for dual view as this is essential :confused:

On my 6800U there were 2 DVI connectors and dual view was ok, hope this is the same and they just chose to provide both types of connectors instead of just DVI.
