Riva Tuner didnt even allow me to hit 471 =(. I will try using coolbits and do some 3d Mark benches for you.

Thanks, I was just wondering whether it could match the eVGA KO edition (490/1300) and whether that warrants an extra $50 over the BFG 7800 GTX OC.

G80 discounts? SLI discounts?

It means nothing to non-eVGA card owners... You can only step-up from an eVGA card to another eVGA card, and you have to do it within the first 90 days.

Alright, I'll probably stick with BFG then.
Thanks.

i just picked up an eVGA 7800 GT... if the price of the GTX drops to the same price i paid for my GT, will I essentially get the GTX for free?

At this point, are they not all the same (rebadged reference cards)?

The cooling systems might be somewhat different, like ASUS's design takes up two slots.
