You clearly don't understand business. Back to the drawing board again Dave.

how are they? There is no such thing as a straight swap for better performance..If you are presented with a choice of a second hand GTS and a brand new GT, which one are you going to go for?

I would say both the GTS and GTX second hand prices would need to be at least 50% less than the current GT price if they are as good as what they say they are. Hardly a swap.

I sold my 8800 GTS 640mb for 200 and just bagged a 8800 GT for 50 quid less.

So I pocket 50 quid and have a faster card.

He sounds like someone has nicked his football and they are demanding money to give it back.

BigDave, you do not have to buy the card, no one forces you, i happen to think for under £200 they are fanastic value, fortunately i paid under £150 for mine which is even better.

What i found amusing, he was so heated up, he couldnt even construct a proper sentence

Will be keeping an eye out for your results, if it does fit that'd be great.

Some reviews are saying the cooler is not loud though.

I have a spare 900cu so if it does... win! Just bought an EVGA 8800GT... should be here in 2-4 days... I upgraded from my 320MB GTS for £7.

That tiny fan is bound to be whiney though, pluse the VF900 will cool better, the reviews have shown them running pretty hot, so they should clock even better with a decent cooler.

Little higher than I was expecting, will wait it out and see if prices drop once stock comes in.

Seems that the preorder prices are a little steep having had a look around.

Seeing as Im your biggest fan

Enthusiast can recycle their Zalman VF700/900 and other similar coolers with their new 8800GT! woohoo!

rEeee · 29 Oct 2007 at 17:17

I can't decide between the BFG or eVGA, OC or OC2!!!

easyrider · 29 Oct 2007 at 17:17

I have a vf700 here doing nothing depending on noise levels I may use that.
