This card kicks ass!, I would pay 200 for this card lol, feels like a breath of fresh air from my 2900XT, in the other 8800GT thread I posted CSS Stress Test benchmarks.

Just a question, what is the HD dongle like? Is it a DVI to HDMI connector? or is it simply an adapter into the TV-Out which provides purely connections for the 3 video cables for HD playback?

ordered a Gainward but they over allocated so had to settle for the Gigabyte card instead, choose that over the Leadtek one but the geezer said over 95% are made at the same plant...Anyone got this card and if so what clocks they getting?

I get 700/1000 so far, thats as far as Ive gone with it so could do plently more yet. 70-77C @ 45% fan speed.

some people really are desperate, theres no way i would pay £176 for a OcUK GeForce 8800 GT with 1yr warrenty when you can get the EVGA GeForce 8800 GT for exactly the same price with a 10yr warrenty

What is the point in having a 10 year warranty? Who is still going to be using the same graphics card 2 years later, never mind 10 years?

No, it's just that quoting pics is bad netiquette, takes up loads of space and is just lazy.

Two different cards bcame out of stock in the space of a couple of minutes while I was trying to order mine. I had to settle on a Leadtek for £176.

I am curious as to how many other 640MB 8800GTS owners are getting a GT. I can get £160 for my GTS so the upgrade with transport will cost £20. I hope I will not regret this.
