Decent overclock, considering the fan recirculates case air, rather than venting hot air out the nearest PCI slot. I've been told that the 4.8 and 4.9b catalyst drivers do a lot to improve DOOM3 performance (that's why 4.9b was released).

I don't use beta drivers in reviews.
And They called it the hottest bundle...those bullet points are always taken right from the companies marketing. Still, it ain't Tomb Raider. |

Good review.
However, at the $400 price point you are lookign at $100 more than all the other 6800s. Thats great if you are getting the performance worth that. But for $409 you can get an eVGA 6800 GT which will outperform it. Granted the bundle cannot even dream of touching what Asus has included, but I pay for framerates, not Deus Ex. |

That's pretty nice video card. I wish I have $$$ right now to buy it for my AMD 64 gig.

A 3.06 p4 doesn;t have an 800 mhz bus.
But yes, a 6800GT will run on that very well. |
