Default another release
hi durka durka, i think they are going to release a GTS version of the G92 very soon. Youll probably find it oc's a bit better and will peform as well as two of these in SLI for a bit less.

If I'm patient enough, I'll wait. As it is, my 8800GTS-320 doesn't cut it for Crysis... The coolers look pretty crappy on the 8800GT, I wonder if the GTS cooler would fit?

HWC image server = 0WneD!! Sorry guys but the image server is a little taxed today. If you wait a few minues, most of the images SHOULD load...

Great review I was waiting for this card and the asking price is more my price range and a life time warranty wow I never heard of anything that gives a warranty like this . I think this card would be perfect for me and as for the heat well I am going WC so I don't think the inside of my case will be that hot anyway so I would leave the stock air cool on the card until I decide to over clock it by then I am willing to bet that someone would have a wc block that would be guaranteed to fit properly. the only thing I am wondering about is why they went with 256bit instead of 512 bit

IMO, 512-bit would not have upped the performance that much. I wouldn't be surprised if we see this card back again in about 3-4 months as a 126 stream processor, 1GB memory, 512-bit monster retailing at around $600....but that's just musing on my part.

I myself was holding out on the GTS cards and debating whether to go for a gtx myself but a $249 price tag for this card is the perfect upgrade solution for my 7900 GT CO :D
