yeh that would be nice.
as for the benchmarks so far . quite nice results, but until the price drops (i know your sick hearing it) i cant see too many been sold at the moment unless you dont care.
though good on you for supplying us with information about the new card we havent been able to get from reviews, decent/average(i guess) processer with the new card. thanks.
"Hip Hip Hurray! Oh he's a jolly good fellow ....."
*beers on you*
As for the power connecters: what psu you got ? and also what does the card require (confused) power connecter wise.
as for the drivers, think about it, drivers (namely of the disc) are never as good, and i would almost guarantee that within a month or two if nvidia work hard, you could have drivers which unlock even further potiental.
ATI-Lets see what you have, this is like a drag race.

The case you have is the coolermaster stacker right? The side window, is that something you moded yourself?

Isn't the 8800GTS G92 clocked higher than the 8800GTX?
It is a coolermaster stacker, its an official window bought from the coolermaster website.
Not noticed a difference in sound from 8800GTX personally.

Not sure, but that's irrelevant anyway I think as the GTX core does more and the card is sold as a faster card then a GTS

Cant see the window on the official site, never have seen a window for the stacker as i would have bought one. Can you link me to it, cheers.

Requires
1x 8 Pin PCIE
1x 6 Pin PCIE
My PSU has 2x 6 pin PCIE and 0x 8 pin PCIE (Corsair HX520)
2x 6Pin turns into 1x 8 Pin
2x Molex turns into 1x 6 Pin
Size (Sorry about shocking wiring, will re do it soon
Only one screw to hold card in ?? with the weight of this card it would be more secure with two...

Strife212,
First thing, cheers for the all effort in benching, hope you're well chufefd with your purchase and I'm sure you already know, ignore the 3DMark06 results, they're meaningless now as they're at such a low resolution that you won't get any benefit of the 200 series cards anyway really, it's when you ramp up the resolution so, job done.
However, I'm slightly confused, I thought the card NEEDED a 1x6pin and 1x8pin connectors AT THE SAME TIME? So how have you done it then? As from the picture it looks like you have 1x6pin and nothing else or am I being blind and/or stupid lol...
Once again, cheers for benchies... what other games have you got? UT3 or UT2004? Doom3 or Quake4? Would be lovely if you have any benchies of them?
Cheers Pug
EDIT right, just re-read your post and I see what you're done, you've converted 2x6pin into 1x8pin and converted a molex into a 6 pin... with ya fella

Thanks for the pic. My HX520 came with 2 6+2 pin PCI-E connectors (will these not do?) and I emailed corsair asking for some more and they sent me a 6+2 and a 6pin PCI-E connector on one cable
(for free, along with some more SATA cables).

As far as I'm away, it's like mt PSU, it came with 4x6+2pin cables so I assume that I can run two fo these cards in SLi if I wanted, 1x6pin and 1x8pin for each card... just by bolting the extra 2pin into the hole... I'm 99% sure you can do this?Thanks for the pic.
