Stock fan/cooler is very good indeed,i cant hear it while playing game`s tbh,i would only change my cooler on this card if i was going to watercool it.

that good

first impresion of it is ohh no not another Ultra, but i,m hearing some good feedback about it.

is your system silent build?

 

[Firegod]

I'd just like to add it is nice and quiet, better than my 7800GTX which I thought was quiet to use!

hows the drivers for it?

and is nvidia using the new control panel and cant revert back to the old style.

so you stuck with this http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=2774&p=2

The drivers are pretty good, still a few issues with certain games but that's to be expected this early.
Nvidia are using the new CP but it's easy enough to hack to the old one, and the XtremeG versions have both

 

[Firegod]

TBH the new CP is ok, takes awhile to get used to it but when you re-install drivers as often as I do (with all the beta releases) you get to be a pro at setting everything back up.

[siscid]

[melbourne720]

Just got my 8800 GTS in the case of my new build. Everything at stock 7742 in 3d mark 06...

But most of all I'm so impressed by the image quality - I feel like I've just bought a £400 monitor rather than a GFX card for £290

*Even* windows looks good, ffs!

What does everyone use to show off their 8800 to their wife/girlfriend/mother/imaginary friend who doesn't get why you spent all this money?

 

[Dmack]

*recieves 8800 gts in the post + his g80 club card*

I'm finally here
