I was looking around last night for a cheap deal on a graphics card. Was gonna go with a 9800 Pro when I found this.

What do you guys think of it? I could only find one review on it here:
http://www.tbreak.com/reviews/article.php?...25&pagenumber=7 (http://www.tbreak.com/reviews/article.php?cat=grfx&id=325&pagenumber=7)
That's the last page which gives the conclusion and overclockability. To quote them:
"In one word- amazing."
"To sum up the 6800LE, it utilizes nVidia's latest core, performs faster than their previous core and costs less. Sounds like nVidia has a winning card in their hands."
In fact they said nothing bad about it at all.
Reckon it looks good?
Ok guys it arrived today. Plugged it all in and hit a snag.
It started alright, but whenever I tried to run anything 3D after about 3 to 5 minutes i'd just get a blank screen, then when I restart thw computer I get a continual 2 tone beeping until I switch it off for like a minute.
So I unplugged my DVD Drive to see whether there was a power shortage, btw I have a 400w PSU. It starts up ok and on 3dMark03 and 3DMark05 it gives me results, good results! But 3dMark01 and Doom 3 still both break after a minute or two :(
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Have you given it a power cable that is not powering anything else? I.e. it gets it's own rail?

No I haven't tried that yet. My PSU only has 2 cables each with 2 molex connectors, and unfortunately I already have 4 IDE devices in my system :unsure:
Get a more powerful power supply 550w will do
