bit-tech.net — I'm glad that someone has finally got round to reviewing this card - the cooling performance is absolutely awesome! Load temperature with the card heavily overclocked were lower than the idle temperatures using the default 8800 GTX cooler at stock speeds. Woah!

In the Oblivion tests,<a class="user" href="http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2007/01/03/bfgtech_geforce_8800_gtx_watercooled/4.html">http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2007/01/03/bfgtech_geforce_8800_gtx_watercooled/4.html</a>How did they get Anti-Aliasing AND High Dynamic Range on?It doesnt let me. I have a eVGA 8800GTX too.My specs are the same as the test setup except for the processor which is a e6600 OCed to the speed of the x6800.But I get only about 44FPS at 1280x1024.This is with only HDR on, not AA.Thanks.EDIT: From their article here, <a class="user" href="http://www.bit-tech.net/gaming/2006/03/31/elder_scrolls_oblivion/2.html">http://www.bit-tech.net/gaming/2006/03/31/elder_scrolls_oblivion/2.html</a>"Straight from the off, you'll spot a couple of things. The first, and possibly biggest issue, is that you cannot run HDR and Anti-Aliasing together, regardless of your hardware. No NVIDIA card, no ATI card on the market will do AA+HDR in this game. Which you pick, therefore, will depend on whether you can handle the frame rate impact of HDR or whether or not your card is man enough to handle a high resolution. We believe that it's better to have HDR in this game rather than AA, even at relatively low resolutions."How did they get AA and HDR working????

Same type of graphics? Are you f**king kidding me?The 8800 series can do way more than the 360. The only reason consoles generally look nicer is because all consoles use more or less the exact same hardware, allowing more specialization of software to fit the hardware needs. PC games needed to be coded to fit all 1,000,000,000+ combinations of hardware. Consoles are usually 1, maybe 2 combinations.

If the sky and space and infinite galaxies are really just detailed illusions being created by God's computer servers, then this is the Video card he would use to run that computer

If anyone has a really high-end card, and wants to see what kind of graphics their card is capable of, have a look at X3's Rolling Demo, with a benchmark feature. I envy someone who can run this demo at more than 60 fps, 1280x1024, all settings maxed.

lol crysis is coming out for the PC and UT2007 and GoW use the same engine so of course they are the same

500fps? I know you were joking but once you get above the refresh rate of your display, what's the point?

musnt surf at work is waiting 3 months for the r600 to come out, why? so He can buy it for $600, or buy the 8800 for half? Oh by the way buddy, its now 9 months since you posted that, so seems like a waste of time to me. Then what are you going to do when you here rumors for the r1000 or 9800 gtx, going to wait a "few" months again? u will wait your whole life that way, while I am having fun!!!
