EVGA 8800GT - did anyones ship today ?

Sent an e-mail cancelling the order - I picked up a Zotac nFire GeForce 8800GT from my local e-tailer's warehouse - which has faster 660MHz cpu and 1600MHz shader clocks but slightly slower memory (which is the least important of the three). Saved £36 too - for the sake of a shorter warranty!

(there will now be a short interval whilst I install it :D)

No complaints over Nvidia's hard launch but then thats becuase my OcUK sourced BFG 8800GT OC is sitting in a Citylink depot as I type this ;)

Is this for another PC or are you changing your GTS for one?
 
Seems very fast - it got me the final 0.1 to get the perfect Windows Vista Experience Index of 5.9 (since the ATI X1900XT was the bottom score of 5.8 previously)

Did a quick 3DMark06 run and got 13011 (my X1900XT scored 7037) too:- http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=3584869 (which seems to be the 5th highest score and less than 100 behind 4th). These are at its stock 660/1600/1800 clocks.

Using the beta 169.04 vista-x64 drivers on vista ultimate.

Well chuffed.

Now for 1920x1080 crysis...

Thats an eVGA 8800GT m8 is it?
 
I cant wait for tommorow when mine arrives and then i can go through the benchmarking fury i did with my 320MB GTS
i have gone the path of GIGABYTE to go with my mobo.
I will post a couple of pics soon as it arrives then some seriously hardcore overclocking will take place then the sourcing of a aftermarket cooler, i have heard the thermaltake duo orb fits nicely and does a great job to boot.
 
Zotac nFire 8800GT 660/1600/1800 (which is stock as its factory o/c), Q6600 @ 3.2GHz, Windows Vista Ultimate X64, Detonator 169.04 x64

Crysis numbers with everything on medium - but I don't know whether it was DX9 or DX10 mode at present.

Could the people posting in this EVGA thread stop rubbing it in to the poor buggers who are waiting another week?

Just a thought ;).
