OCZ sells video cards?!

[CurseTheSky]

I just took a look through Newegg, and noticed this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814146001

When did OCZ join the graphics card trend? Kind of makes me wonder if they'll offer any modified / impressive overclocked versions to make them a good choice over the usual companies. Until then, <3 my eVGA.

I saw an article about it somewhere recently, maybe on Dailytech. OCZ's support and replacement system is top notch (better than EVGA, I would say), but at the moment that card is a good $50 more than most of the other 8800GTXs.

They sold video cards since WAYYY back...and then they quit the game...and recently got back into it!

They are going for the high end, with top spec memory mainly (since it's their area of expertise).
There have been a couple of articles on DailyTech about it.

Interesting.

Since they seem to gear all of their products towards gamers (mainly memory, power supplys, thermal paste), I'd really be interested in seeing if they can squeeze a bit more performance out of the design. There isn't a ton you can do with an already designed card, but I'm sure people would be happy to buy a high-end card with a revolutionary heatsink design if it could be offered for only slightly more than the norm.

They sold the OCZ Titan3 which was a GeForce 3 card, so it wasn't THAT way back. Way back would be like 3dfx Voodoo Graphics and Riva128 or something. Now WAYYY back would probably be like S3 Vision 968, Trident or Tseng Labs on the VLB.
