I'd be really interested to see some real world Gaming benchies for these beauties please, :) especially at 1920x1200....(I'm thinking of getting the 24" Benq). The new house has put somewhat of a curb on my Hardware spending of late...going to have to stop eating or something lol.
 
Mine is here.

£329.50 inc delivery. :D

I'm glad I got the eVGA with the massive Black Passive Sink or rear as its damn hot even at idle, It only meassures 35C with probe on digimeter but its hot to touch not as if you need pull hand away though.
I remember we had to sink 2-3 chips on rear of 7900's after volt mods, so thats probably the same chips thats hot, unless eVGA have some way of getting extra heat out the core like some mobos do on rear of CPU sockets (even seen mods with heatsinks on rear of CPU sockets).

Hrm I'm looking forward to the benchmarks on these, and any FPS increases people have, I'm perfectly happy with a single GTX right now, it kicks the ass out of everything I play (except DX10 stuff cos nvidia can't get the damn drivers right yet).... but hey ho, I do wonder how much of a waste of money these things are, or if it really is worth the upgrade...
 
Well in Lost Planet and DIRT I would think 700mhz core (Rev3) and 2400mhz Memory (0.8ns Samsung) OC'd from 655/1250 speed would help FPS as these 2 games are rapists, but I cant compare to anything as only got this card.
 
I get

IDirect3DDevice9:: Present failed: Device lost (D3DERR_DEVICELOST) :(


I will do a fresh install of XP when I get my new motherboard at the weekend.

Well ive had that error before when I went from a X1800XT to a X1950XTX and all I did was uninstall the drivers using the ATI uninstall thingy then just install the latest. Then it ran fine.

This time was from 7950GX2 to 8800Ultra.

Ill have my new motherboard on Monday so Ill do a fresh install then. :)
