I'll put it in soon and post some benchmarks and mess about with the new features. I know theres plenty of reviews out but I guess its good to see some results from a retail card.

Yep post some overclocked results if you can! :)

Just a small request, if you have the demo/full version of GRID could you bench it to ultra settings with/without vsync at whatever your highest res is? Cheers. :)
 
nice photos! hope to see some benchmarking :D

offtopic: jesus christ man I was looking at this via remote desktop from work and it just stuck on my screen with the goblin on and my colleagues were walking past and were LIKE WTF ARE YOU DOING lol :D
 
Sure I'll try some oc'd results, just uninstalled my current drivers, my last post for a while probably, going to do the deed and pull out my 8800GTX.
