X800 Pro Vivo, which brand unlocks to 16 pipes the best ?
Was going to go 6800 GT, but thats noisy, and hot and uses to much power. So iam want to go with an X800 Pro Vivo, but which brands are best to overclock and unlock the extra pipes ? If you can help please do, my 9600 pro needs to replaced. Thanks. |

I wouldn't say they are noisy at all, and I am fairly fussy. To put it in perspective the card is a lot quiter than the 9700 Pro it replaced! As to "uses too much power", well what is too much? It will work on a good 300w PSU, which is the minimum spec AMD and Intel recommend anyway. And I have seen it work fine on a number of Shuttle boards with only 200w PSU's. I don't mean to start a flame ware here, and if you want to go for an X800Pro Vivo, then I am sure that's a fine card too. But if your reasons are noise and power, then I think you are mistaken.

What brands do you two have ? Realy depends on the cooling solution the cards use i suppose, your two cards must be two of the good solutions.

Personally I have a BFG - with the standard cooler, rather than the BFG special one. You here is at boot time when the fan spins up to full speed. Then when you get into windows, the fan throttles back down and you don't hear it any more. You can then game away all you like and the fan never speeds up again, so it remains effectively silent.
