^^^ i got the X-shaped box but mine is the normal version of 8600GT with a 540MHz core and not the 620MHz XXX one.the card easily clocks easily to 700MHz core and 950MHz mem with max temps of 72C-75C.the card is pretty good and gives decent enough performance in games like Lost Planet (demo).
overall i'm satisfied with the cards performance.its better to buy the 8600Gt and oc it to 8600GTS levels and save 6k.

whats the price of xfx 8600gt and xfx 8600gt xxx ? . infact , i had the same mobo too , asrock 775dual915gl , since it has a pciex4 slot , and that wud be a bottleneck to the card , so i payed 3k and got a intel d101ggc , it is made on radeon x200 chipset , will it support the 8600gt ?
anyway , asrock does give a response when asked for the support of a card , and a few months i had asked if 7600gt is supported and after 25days they said yes and after another 2 weeks they added it to their list , when asked abt 8600gt in april , they said they dint hav that card in the lab.
@BlackBerry7100g , which psu r u using ?

left this forum longback
as with original title of the question,i have something to say:
I own a gigabyte mobo based on Intel 915GV chipset and boasts supporting pcie x16
after i installed my new XFX 7300 GT and researched the X server logs,i found that the board is having a pcie x16 but in reality it got pcie x4 capability.
I found the answer from the gigabyte website.but it seems to me as they cheated me.
so be sure with ur board.

so i think am not getting the most out of my gfx card thinking of purchasing a good mobo.

like . when the mobo ( asrock 775dual915gl ) was released in april05 . most cards were using the complete agp8x bandwidth . and pciex4 in a way equals that . so most cards performed equally on both pciex4 and pciex16 as the bandwidth of pciex16 was hardly under use(pciex4 was enough) . but today's dx10 based cards use more bandwidth than the older ones . so these newer cards wud perform better on pciex16 than on pciex4 . but however performance difference depends on wat application u r running .
read this article , u'll get a better idea.

but the overall point is that u r loosing some amount of performance and the performance loss is more on newer cards . and the performance depends on the app u r using. if u r interested in gaming , i suggest u go 4 a d101ggc mobo frm intel ( i changed to the same mobo ) and buy a 8600gt ( will buy in a week ) or wait for hd2600 ( if u r not in a hurry and can manage with ur fx5200 for a few weeks , its a better option ) .these mobos are now damn cheap, i got this d101ggc and a 450watt smps , gave the old mobo to my dealer and paid him 3k !! i think its more than worth it.
