The GFX card prize for the competition

Post by sprite »

Has anyone either recieved their card yet, or have any more information about it? I have just found out I won one (yay :D ) and would like some more details about it. Having googled it I can only find a "BFG GeForce6800 GT OC(tm) 256MB" that can either be PCI-E or AGP8x. The competition rules/info don't specify the OC bit (which stands for OverClocked, and is always present on the BFG site) or whether its the PCI-E or the AGP version...

sorry spriteh, after looking at the graphics card mentioned on the above link I have come to the conclusion you cannot put that in your computer without overloading something. So as a guildmate you could donate to guild until you have a PC of the relevent lvl to use it. oh it seems to fit in perfect with my set up so I will "look after" it until you can use it ;)

Thank you kaet, I already had both of those links, but as I said, the ryzom site doesn't mention the "OC" and it also doesn't mention whether it is the AGP or the PCI-E version.

Oh I don't know about that jack, but maybe you can have my old one if you like? :p

I hope so; I dunno if my mobo has PCI-E. It probably does (brand new) but I'm not sure ;)

The show/contest site clealy shows the image of that graphics card. Every graphics card on the BFG site looks completely different, so it should be that one. ;)


Oh, and the logic of this info is very fun :p :
BFG Tech Graphics Card Lifetime Warranty ....
This warranty is valid if the product: ....
Was not modified or damaged by overclocking ....
this card is overclocked out-of-the-box
