I'd go for the cheaper one and put the extra $20 towards an aftermarket cooler. Maybe an Accellero. $269 isn't all that bad for an IN STOCK EVGA 8800gt 512
ClubIT has sent me out a new one today. I had to pay for it again, but they are covering all the shipping and will refund my original once I send it back. I thought I should send it back because it's winter now and generally about 10 F cooler in my computer room, but what really decided it was...
Yeah, hopefully ClubIT will be cool about it and send me a new one without me sending this back first. I work from home when I'm on call (which happens to be this week starting tomorrow) and I have to have my computer working. I really wish I hadn't already ebay'd my old card already! Poor...
I'm unable to O/C anything but the memory. Even with fan at 100%. This is an MSI OC edition that runs at 730 stock.
I'm at
730/1839/1050
I can see light shining through in between the GPU and HSF combo so I'm thinking that this card will need to be RMA'd. Or maybe I'll just pop the...
Can you run games with that? Any artifacts in ATITool? That's an insane OC! :thumbsup:
Mine is on the FedEx delivery truck so I should be getting it this afternoon. It's an MSI OC edition.
Please stop feeding the troll. This is getting ridiculous. I have seen him personally attack multiple people throughout his tirades in multiple threads. This guy is the epitome of a troll and is adding nothing to this board but mindless clutter.
BAN!
Edit: In case I'm not being clear...
If I could get an 8800gt for that price I would instead of the GTS. The problem I have is that the only place I know of to find that price is Dell and last I heard Dell has been moving back shipment dates. Even the folks that ordered their cards the first day of the special are being told they...

They also have the gigabyte.. it's more money though and is slower clocked.
I caved and ordered mine already.
Edit: The item has been removed... sorry.
Non-educated? Ignorant?
That's funny, those sound like personal attacks to me. I could have sworn that there were rules about that sort of thing on this forum.
I think you could do pretty well. The GTS is selling from 210 to 220 on ebay right now. If you're willing to wait a couple weeks after ordering from dell you can get an MSI 8800gt shipped for 222.
Then if something better comes out, sell the GT on ebay for a profit and upgrade.
This is the first time EVER that a $230 card has been able to play games at 1680 or 1900 widescreen with AA/AF at good frame rates. I think that's pretty impressive. The only game which I've heard of where you can't do this with the settings maxed is Crysis... which isn't even out yet.
I...
I don't know that I'd say it's cheating considering it only made a 50 point difference. At high quality with all optimizations off, I got 11138. I'll take a 50 point drop for noticeably improved visuals. :)
