Not true, I tried it it, not true. I tried running my voltage at 1.6v on my GS, allowed for a higher core OC of about 10MHz, and lowered my voltage down to 1.4v, and that allowed for a 5MHz higher OC from the 1.6V BIOS. Read the first post, I said 7800GT, not GS.
I'm upgrading to PCI-E.
Edit:
Nvidia 7800GTX 512:

The 7800GTX does have higher AA rates than the 6800GT, the 6800GT AA looks like crap compared to the x850 XTPE's, I know this because I have owned 2 x850 XTPE's, and 2 6800GT's (GS is unlocked to GT, so I consider it a GT because it uses the same core, and is pretty much identical, besides the GS's crappy OCing capabilities)

Read the above link.
Edit 2: the 7800 series cards only look as good as the x1800 with SUPER AA, not regular. When it comes to regluar AA, the x1800 is the true winner. Super AA is an FPS monster, therefore I will not use it.
Read the whole article, please. I'm not trying to flame.
