Latest results with the Opteron 165 installed. GFX card remained on the exact same settings, but the processor seems to have helped with that score too.
I'm a little bummed out. I may finally have bought a dud on eBay. I got the card yesterday and installed it, got three short beeps (sounded like they were from the vidcard) then a long beep from the mobo, then nothing. No POST, no image. When I put the 6800 back in, the 7800 somehow took out my bootloader (GRUB) but I was able to rewrite that OK.
There were two screws missing from the heatsink backplate, so to be safe I disassembled the card, cleaned the GPU and chips, applied new AS5 and reassembled everything tightly, and I replaced the missing screws as well. I put the card in a second time, and got a repeat of the above. Both times I made sure the 6-pin PCI-E connector was attached to the card.
I can always send it to nVidia for repair, it has a lifetime warranty. I just stinks that I'd have to do that. Is there some easy/stupid fix I overlooked, or what?
Only thing I can think is to clear the cmos. Other than that, there is not a lot left that you can do, I don't think :(
Got my latest results running the Opty @ 2500Mhz and the gpu @ 540/540.
85000+
While I get my 7-Series cards straightened out, I bought an 8600GT. What a difference.:) I never realized how much a vidcard could slow down a computer, windows now change in the blink of an eye. Here's my first Aquamark score, no OCing the card yet, the X2 4000 is running at 2.6GHz (+30%).

Very nice :D.
Everytime I try and run the test my screen just remains black with my mouse pointer. I can move my mouse, and if I had music running in the background I could still hear it. When I do Ctrl-Alt-Del something happens in the background but can't see what.
Alt-F4 and Alt-Tab don't do anything. I have to shutdown and restart :(
Any ideas? Tried playing around with the settings in Aquamark but still does the same. The demo works fine.
This is mine with my computer running at factory settings. I haven't gotten around to overclocking it yet. I don't need to.
Specs:
Core 2 Duo E6700
Asus P5W DH Deluxe
2GB Kingston Dual Channel DDR667 DDR2
Sapphire ATi Radeon x1950 Pro 512MB
WD Raptor
Audigy 2
EDIT: Incidentally, I run Windows Vista Ultimate.
Nice. Can't wait to see what I get with the XFX 7900 GT extreme edition now :).
Works for me ... hadn't run that one in a long time!
