I would like to see the SLI performance. Maybe even worth selling my GTX and P35 board, picking up a 680i and 2 of these badboys??

Heh if the Asus EEE wasn't being released next month I probably would have ordered more than 1 especially at 249

I'm keeping it to run other benchmarks on since that is what I promised. It will stay in the review stable since I NEVER want to have only 3 GPUs in a review ever again.

well acording to this site
HTML Code:
http://vr-zone.com/articles/Nvidia_GeForce_8800_GT_Review/5369-14.html
they had problems with SLI "Alas, the G92s aint flawless. We've tried to run the 8800GT in SLI mode with an EVGA 680i mainboard and the Asus P5N32E-SLI, but was only greeted with a single card in Vista's device manager despite our various attempts to rectify this problem. All users who wishes to buy a couple of 8800GT cards should take note, G92 SLI doesnt seem to be quite working with the 680i chipset in Vista just yet. Nevertheless, we reckon this isn't a major problem and Nvidia should be fixing this in due time, as we've seen SLI benchmarks of the G92s on Nforce 780i floating around the web in recent days."

Little update. I have decided to run some overclocks tonight. I'll post the results up ASAP after I get them. To test overclocking I will run 3DMark06, CoH and Crysis. IMO, this card shoudl OC to at least 720/2200.

Don't you lose a lot of options for overclocking and fan control with Rivatuner when using Vista? I think most of that is retained in XP

Well, the default drivers with the 8800GT are not recognized by Rivatuner. Though I hear that the next version will fully support the 8800GT.
