| 3DMark2001 461/770: 16993 3DMark03 same: 6303 Repeated scores are very close to each other with panel close; GPU Core idle 38C; but it's hard to read the stress temp it may have dropped a couple degrees when I get to it after the runs. It never went over 54C. I guess it is good enough. Keep my warranty instead of flashing.

| True that I can flash back; wondering what is the highest attainable for this card.

Tried it, but it wouldn't save the oldbios ....CRC error. Found the above. Guess I'm not taking the chance. The card is running fantistic as it stands now.

| Loaded up the latest driver which sucks in OCing; 300 points lower 3DMark03. Couldn't get over 460/750. Back using the older driver. Couldn't find other FX5900XT bios that would do the "thing". Right now it is not temp as it never goes over 55C; got to be the limiter of memory and core in the Bios.

| Tried Albatron and BFG no luck. Won't do it. Anyway, this card kicks *** for the money. I have not experienced throttling back after two days of fussing around with 461/770 setting with 3DMark03 63XX and 3DMark01 SE 169XX. With this kind of scores, it's well into Ultra and 9800XT territory. Played some Doom3 (finally), COD, CS with high to Xhigh settings. Excellent card for the price like Jmke said in the review. Now what should I get next that is similar in performance/value ratio.
