Ryzom

Has anyone either recieved their card yet, or have any more information about it? I have just found out I won one (yay ) 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...

I asked one of the previous winners and they said it was agp.

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?

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 :

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
