Video Card Question

[Master Chief]

Thinking about getting a XFX Geforce 6800XT PVT42EUDP7, anyone have this card and do you know of any issues? My friend has one of these cards and he told me that hes had some heating issues with them, anyone else experience this? Please tell me what you all think, good card to buy or not?

here's a review from Guru3d.com, but take notice to the clocks on this card 425/1000 256ddr3
http://www.guru3d.com/article/Videocards/286/ even at those speed it's only slightly faster than the 6600gt, as for the XFX you mention, well i can't find any specs on the core speed, but it's memory is @800mhz 256ddr3, for a lower price a OC'd 6600gt is a better deal.

ps. from the reviews at newegg, others are have heating issues with card as well.
