The 7800 sli�s are cool. The 512�s went on sale marked up to almost $800 dollars on Monday, and were sold out before the end of business on Wednesday. That 800XL is still a pretty stout card, especially since the new High end ATI cards are still more or less vapor ware. The 800 series still hold some of the higher marks.

Interesting...

Thermodyne are you Thermo (Rank #2)on the 3D Mark 2003 page?

Where do you work? (You can ignore if that's too personal.)

Yep, that be me. Thoes are on air. I have some higher numbers with the phase change cooling, but I'm still not completly stable. Damn AMD's and coldstart lockups. As a rule, we don't publish results on non-stable systems. I got a new controller for the chiller and I'm working on a bare bones Windows install. When I get some time I'll go after #1 in 03 and 05. The #1 in 01 is a vmodded dual phase amonia coold system, I can't touch that one yet. Perhaps when I get a pair of 7800/512

Sharkys is a good forum for any of you guys with PC questions, or if you just want to talk about PC's

As to my job, PM me.

While we are on the subject, 3DMark 05 is good bench mark. It will bring a high end OEM system to its knees. If you want to see what you have, run the mark and compare it to about position 10 on down. Above 10 and your against some tough tweaking and custom OS�s

Well, there you have it. I have been pwned. So, I'll strap on my bib, and eat my humble pie. Listen to Thermodyne, he obviously knows what he is talking about when it comes to overclocking a comp.

Frankly OCing a comp is not something I am very interested in doing, so I have never really done any real research into it. I guess this is what I get when I relay second hand info from someone who I thought knew something about the trade.

Lesson learned. Never climb out on a limb unless you have personally checked to see if it is stable. In the future I'll personally research anything I choose to give advice on.

I'd like to think, however, that when I do have more knowledge than others I would use it to help people out rather than to lord my superiority over them. It is too bad that manners and knowledge aren't a package deal.

Na......Not pwned.....I'm not into all that. It was just a good aggressive debate.
