Well my 6800GT is currently running 440 MHz Core and 1100 MHz Memory. The stock for a 6800GT is 350/1000 however since mine is BFG they ship at 370/1000 for the same price as all the others. When I first got my hard and benched it on 3DMarks05 I scored 4684 3D Marks. At the time my CPU was running 2.4 GHz. When I just went in and ran 3D Marks 05 again, I forget I still had it lol, I got 5639 3D Marks. My CPU is currently running at 2.1 GHz because HL2 really hated my overclock and seeing as my FPS in HL2 were quite high I had no noticable difference in the performance so I have left it at that. Unfortunatly my processor has been most disappointing and now I have decided aganist buying on overclocking potential, however that shouldn't affect my 3D Marks scores as they keep those two seperate.

some updates:

Speaking with ATI today one of my sources was keen to say "Everyone will see in October that the only board Sander tested was a Ouija board."

My suggestion for all our members reading this is to not get too caught up in "previews" clearly based on bitterness from websites out of the loop but to wait until respected sites like Hardocp, Hexus and ourselves bring figures by testing first hand not via other sources.

EDIT: I feel its also important to mention ATI have stated Sander sent the following email after he wasnt invited to editors day, it might be an insight into his state of mind.

I'd be very wary about these benchmarks results. I'd wait for them to be released on better known sites such as tomshardware etc. There are a lot of fake/false figures out there
