Question.. how far did you push the card before you tested it? Was that maxed out or did it have more to go?

20% improvement over already great benchies is pretty impressive for a "superclocked" card.

Looks like Nvidia has tossed down the gauntlet in a major way!

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
