I would call that pretty much maxed with the stock cooler. Any higher on either the memory or core and I would get artifacts and crashes.

Maybe we'll finally see some real competition after a long period of pretty stagnant vid card models.

Now THAT'S what I like to see when a new videocard comes out.....real improvement! The down side is that your 3 month old videocard is now sucking wind!!

I just noticed my 8800Gt on the "truck for delivery today" -- that's faster than I expected since I ordered it yesterday from NCIX :)

So frusterating that my only option was to pay via EBP and now I end -$200 and have to wait for the EBP to clear before I will be sent one and due to stocks who knows when that will be

Default im not sure as such
No I havent seen any, but they will be more powerful than the GT and I guess a good bit more than the 8800GTX. EVGA seems to be selling them at NCIX (G92 revision GTS) for about $400

I'm in the same boat and the customer service is no help at all. They are extremely rude. Hopefully I'll get one when the new stock comes in.

Default weird
The G92 revision GTS has vanished from the NCIX website...they must have made a mistake? It had attracted quite a lot of interest too.

Well enaberif at least you got you paws on the GT.

Yesss! Got my refund for the HD2900GT that I ordered. Now I just need to wait for my eVGA 8800GT Superclocked! I am probably going to replace my mobo (as per sig)for the quad with the DFI Blood Iron. Should be fun!
