It's the best low budget dx10 card currently. If fairs with 1950pro. Recently released games doesn't do so well at the highest settings except maybe 1024x768 or by turning somethings off @ 1280x1024 or run medium settings altogether.

how do these things overclock? im thinking of getting watercooling and would like to incorporate the video card into the loop. and if i were to step up using evga's program how much would i end up paying for a new 8800?

10% gain. I have one overclocked to 775/1130 from 675/1000

 

[covert24]

cool. did you notice any increase in performance?

10% is nothing you are going to notice with your eyes. It does however make a unplayable game to playable settings in some.
