for a bloody lil beauty I found from MSI!!!.
its all about bang for buck and when I picked up this msi 6800 128mb card for $500 australian, I bought it so I could mod it after reading many posts on successive pipe unlocking.A lot of info too told me not to do it as I would damage my card.
Well i grabbed riva tuna (latest) unlocked 4 extra pipes 12 > 16 hehe.
ran many a benchmark and boosted my score from 8850 to 10012 in 3d mark 2003 with absolutely no artifacts what so ever!! after benchmarking an hour straight my Temperature? well, it jumped 1 degree in total and thats after playing hl2, doom 3, Bloodrayne 2, Vampire Masquerade Bloodlines all on max 1600x1200 antial. =x2, aniso. =x8.
maybe its because this card comes with a giant copper fan adjustable to 4000 rpm!! pure meat.
well for a $500 buck card its hit 10 000 marks and pumps out pixel shader 3.0 and vs 3.0 mmm.. tasty..
my test rig is as follows.

p4 2.4c @ 3.07 with gigabyte 3d cooler 4000rpm.
gigabyte 8ik1100 rev. 3.0 (8i875p)
2 x 512mb CORSAIR XMS C2PRO PC3200 400MHZ WITH LED'S @422MHZ
Western Digital Enhanced Caviar 80gb hdd 7200rpm
4 x case fans
msi nx6800 128td
onboard spdif 5.1 optical out with kenwood 780w (6 x 130 wtts)
5.1 digital surround receiver
Super Flower 500 watt true power PSU
21 inch CRT Diamond View monitor

maybe it was my psu? lol.

I unlocked the 16 pipelines but ended up having 30% of my screen being black after restarting. Im not sure if it was because I was using the newest nVidia drivers or if my pipelines were just bad.
