Nice card and very good price.
Only 6 weeks back that was touching £200
Make sure your dad doesn't put it in the microwave though - that will invalidate the warranty :)Quote:

shouldn't make too much difference will it?
yeah, he often likes to melt the thermal paste using the microwave to ease with the removal of stock heatsinks :PQuote:

price drops after purchase FTL :(
would they let you step-up to the 9800GTS/9800GTX?Quote:

would be interesting :P
how much do they give you for your card when you step-up?
it doesn't work like that; you send them your card (dunno if you pay for shipping) and then if any new card comes out within 3 months, you pay the price difference and give your invoice to them and then they send you the new card... you could prolly step to the 9800GTX - it ought to be coming somethime this month
may well try that..Quote:

card arrived today guys.
OCd to 720/1800/950 with 50% fan speed.
and that's Crysis stable for about an hour and half. and i didn't stop 'cause it crashed.. just because i got hungry.
VERY good looking card aswell :):P

i reckon i could probably get 2000MHz from the memory, but i dunno if that's really worth doing at 1280x1024.
edit: i've noticed that it's stable at 740/1850 core and shader if i leave the memory at 1800.. so what would be better?
having the higher GPU speeds, or faster memory speeds, at 1280x1024?
wow... nice...
neither, actually... I wouldn't bother with an OC at that res - one 8800GT should be enough for anything you want to throw at it, let alone 2, without overclocking...
WITH overclocking... well, let's not go there :P.
