Well, ordered my X2 this morning and hopefully *fingers crossed* will be here tomorrow.

Bought a nice new shiny case to go along with it as well as no way is it getting into my current one (Cheap off-the-shelf EzCool oem case lol).

Looks like it's gone up in price.

Tell us how you get along with the card when you receive it!
 
Well, all being well it'll turn up tomorrow - got day booked off work since I also have a Sharkoon Rebel 12 case turning for me to build this monster into. Should be fun....
 
Mine arrived this morning and have been playing crysis with no probs at all, Excellent card for the price and not as big as i thought.

Noise? how bad is the it in windows and when it goes into crysis after a few minutes ?

In windows it runs at lower clocks and is very quiet - much quieter than my 8800GT, when playing a game you can hear it but still its quieter than the gt, as soon as i exit the game the fan drops right down.
 
Just a quick pic of the current case with the 8600 GTS I used to have (currently have a 7600 GT on loan till my X2 arrives).

i just bought a used gecube , hd3870, used very little, and it looked like it was not used much...my card actually said ati on it....looks like they just packaged ati cards to me.....you would think they would have put gecuble on it somewhere?
 
yeah, i know... my Gecube said ATI on the fan as well... really big fan, though :P. anyways, to answer the original question, i do think that this card is a good one... really good... i have the OC edition and i got it on special, so i was happy about that. WHile i haven't seem to OC it more, i think it offers pretty powerful performance... would recommend it to anyone, tbh. Just one word of warning, it doesn't seem to list on the ATi website, so i haven't been able to register it yet :(

lol that thing almost doesnt fit into your case !

I much prefer the look of the newer X2 cards cos they look like it generates half the heat and noise :)

Yup, it wouldnt almost but theres no other space to put the Hard Drives atm and my new case STILL hasnt turned up (tomorrow, apparently).

So, my X2 is still in its box, grinning at me :/
