Is this new 6800 Limited Edition Worth It?

[floppydisk191]

I really want a new card and this new LE card from eVGA is being really hyped.

Should I buy it, is it worth it?

I like mine. Its @ 390/1150. The fan is obsenely loud though if your trying to keep your pc quiet. Luckily I ordered a NV silencer with it.

I am in CA so the tax kills the deal for me

I could find a GT for ~$350 though on pricwatch.

Hyped by company...usually bad.

Hyped by Anandtech forums...probably ok.

You're safe with this card.

does anyone know if it has the full 16 pipelines?

Thats exactly what it is.. there has been zero advertising or marketing done with these cards. They just silenty slipped them into the market and the enthusiats are eating them up.

Yes they have all(?) so far come with the 16/6 enabled. Flash the BIOS and you have an actual 6800Ultra for about 200 bucks less.

Do you think NewEgg will recieve these cards ever again? Within a reaosnable amount of time? I mean, the product is still listed on the site, and not completely taken off.
