Anyone have a GeCube card at all ? Any good / bad experiences ?

I've run the gamut of ATI cards - Sapphire, Powercolor, Asus even ... just wondered how these cards turn out.

Particularly, the 3870 X2 card ?
 
Got one yesterday (the 3850) and so far so good, really quiet, very efficent cooler (not seen it over 60c yet after a while on Crysis). Also comes with a nice bundle.
 
May have but no good having a bargain if the card manufacturer is rubbish and I end up RMA' it after 3 days :p

Seriously, never owned a GeCube and wanted to know if anyone does... anyone ?
 
I have a Gebube 3850 and they are as good as any other manufacturer. Don't worry, the card you are looking at will be great.

Don't forget that for warranty claims you go can direct to the retailer in the first year. The retailer you buy it from is much more important than the actual manufacturer.
 
GeCube use reference cards mainly, they sometimes adopt their own coolers though! Have an HD2600XT from them and I am actually using it right now, solid as anything else out there cant complain.

Plus I know of the card you are referring to, just get it mate ;)
 
Tbh, the rig I've almost finished building (in sig) WANTS a card of real power to finish it off as well as a case suitable for it all.

Its nearly there, and despite the slight PowerPlay issue these cards have, I think its just gotta be done.....

Just a shame AMD didnt drop the price on the X2 alongside the 3850 and 3870's ;)
 
I went for a gecube 3870x2 because it was the cheapest one i could find and it's been running good so far but the only problem i have with it is crashing even with a small overclock...dunno what the problem is and that is using ati tool and amdgpuClockTool + cat 8.2s.

It's doing the biz in 3dm but i was hoping for a bit of o/c with it as well...will have to have a play about with it.
 
I dont think OC'ing this card is high on my priority list really, I'll be Resolution bound anyway until I get my new 24" Monitor (lowly 19" WS 1440 x 900 lol).

Will be ordering Monday, supposed to order today but works expenses didnt come through. Grrrrrrr :p
 
Got myself a Gecube 3870xt here, great piece of kit. Fan on auto mode is very quite, 100% is loud but seems to cool quite a bit of my case!!!

My one also came with the black box so was able to claim some money back by selling it on the bay :)
 
Well, ordered my X2 this morning and hopefully *fingers crossed* will be here tomorrow.

Bought a nice new shiny case to go along with it as well as no way is it getting into my current one (Cheap off-the-shelf EzCool oem case lol).
