My 8800GTX just got delivered by City Link Something a bit odd thou there is a warranty void stick on the box??? It states that the warranty is void if I break the seal??? What the heck is going on there???

Seems to be you open the box, warrenty is void lmfao.

Obviously Nvidia learned that trick with the 7900 series... don't let the user open the box otherwise the card is bound to fail

 

[Supercow]

It's not the cards' warranty that would be over if you open it, don't worry
Have fun!

you hit the nail on the head.

 

[J1nxy]

Or if they do open it then they void the warranty so if it fails tough

Benchmarks are somewhat difficult as I'm work...

Push it round your desk going "BRrrrrrmmmmmm!!!....."

(at least thats what I did with my 6800Ultra when it arrived as the first batch of 10 into the country from OCUK )

I'm contemplating pulling laptop to bits to see if I can make it fit

pmfsl, i dare any1 to make a video and post it to you tube with their shiney new 8800 pushing it around your desk going "brooooooooooooooooooooom brooooooooooooooooooooom" then say "Noxis is a mad head" at the end of it.

Come on show us your 8800 now!!!

 

[J1nxy]

I'm holding it up in front of the screen now so you can all see it

I don't have a camera or camera phone so posting pictures is difficult...

 

[philstanbridge]

They are nice cards arent they. I didnt like the "warranty void" sticker either. That's naughty.

 

[TVR_Fan]

Maybe if you break the box down then your void your card.

broke the seal on mine oops thank goodness it works!

just swapped from a 7950gx2 to a 8800GTX all i've done is benchmark at the mo... point of note this is on a working system withh all my rubbish installed.

running on a DS4
C2D E6700
7950 with cpu @ 3.0ghz 3D06 8090
8800 with cpu @ 2.67ghz 3D06 9515

there is a marked difference and the 8800 is far more future proof.

time to ebay my 7950 me thinks

 

[MrMojoRisin]

The seal is probably a measure to protect it from city-link employees

 

[PeteLucky7]

Just open the box from the base. Problem sorted.
