After a week of CityLink's rubbish, it finally arrived and OMG it's incredible. A billion times better than the 7800GTX. My PC spec isn't great, but it's running amazing framerates with everything I throw at it at max AA/AF. Also, it's quiet as heaven :D

So thanks goes to Gibbo. He recommended this card and it's awesome! Looks awesome too :)
 
OMG WTF it has S-Vid and Compostie vid in too! I can finaly get some old video tapes recorded onto the PC for safe keeping.
 
Mine came today but it wont fit in my also new shuttle. :(
Returning it and getting a standard 1900xt.

A big thumbs up to OCUK though; very good service. :cool:

The air duct at the back is like a hair dryer (except it's quiet) :D
Ironic it's called "IceQ" heh

It is ridiculously big though, only just fit in my case!

Anyways, when I bought the 7800GTX I wasn't happy, but this is the best £300 I've spent in a long time!
 
great :) I'm aiming to buy a P180 case so hopefully that should give me the room
Order incoming methinks
 
SN25P. The plastic air duct for feeding the "ICE" cooling system of the CPU was in the way. Tommy B is right; its enourmous. Smashing looking card though. Oh well I hope the generic cooler HIS card I am getting isint too loud.

Do you plan to OC Tommy B? It would be interesting to hear what that ICEQ3 is capable of. :)
 
Nice to hear it is good. How long is the card from the edge of the cooler to the PCI plate? -it looks like it voerlaps the card a little.
