Nice review sky- I'm not sure I've ever seen you this giddy about a product. I am quite astonished by the performance- If I had a 320MB GTS, I would rush out and buy one, but having the 640MB, it's not quite worth the upgrade- I'll wait for the 9X

Yup yup bang for buck they certainly look nice, it's been hard holding out since the ridiculous 8600gt/gts came out I was banking on them being a performer and just about ordered a 8800gts numerous times glad I didn't from the looks of things.

Going to evga this time instead of xfx. They sound like it's got some nice headroom,wheres those benchies SKY?
lol take your time.

Ask and thy shall receive!!!!!!!

Please note that this is under Vista Ultimate x64 and with the Shader Clock at Default Superclocked Speeds. I am waiting for a program that works with Vista and this card to OC the shader clock. I am pretty confident that when that is done, I may be able to break 15,000.

This is for a SINGLE CARD.

Also note that I had to downgrade to the Advanced Edition of 3DMark for this because the Professional version has mysteriously stopped working.
