I wanna test this baby out... but right now I'm on hardcore painkillers because I had oral surgery on Monday.

Working on conjuring up enough energy to go install it in my desktop.

Card is pretty gargantuan though. :p

Haha, exact reason why I got the card - to make myself feel better :)

The painkillers are vicoprofen, but I am gonna try to just use regular ibupfrofen without the vicoden. Vicoden makes me feel kinda sh!tty =/

Watch out, House might come steal your Vicoden :Q.

Oh and it's a really nice card, you'll like it :). Just hope your case is big enough to fit it! The card's size is part of the reason I bought my Lian-Li.

Obviously, your first gaming experience with your new 8800GTX HAS be "Painkiller".

No kidding.

The VA gives me Demorol for my feet. Take a couple of those, and then lets talk hardcore.

Hardcore IMO. I haven't really needed/been exposed to hard drugs, so it's all about reference point :)

Creig... sounds like a great idea :p

Just don't try running it on anything newer than the 97.02 drivers.

I'm using the 97.44s. Should I roll back to the .02s? What's the problem with the .44s?

v97.28 has been working fine for me so far.. lots of people have had problems with v97.44 though.

97.44 have more problems than 97.02 and in particular they have rendering issues in Direct3D games like Painkiller, Halo and Oblivion.

Painkiller example.
