3~ agonizing weeks to see an RV670 comparison
for all the ones complaining about non working link, the site it goes to does not work in firefox, they are working on that as explained by op in first post in thread.
It is working with me on FF but you have to scroll to the rightQuote:

Looks like I will try the Zalman FC-ZV9 first on this bad boy
Wow, I'd be pissed if I just bought a GTX (suckers) :D
whoa u failed to mention the hot naked pics in this review!!!
I don't understand posts like this. For the last year the 8800GTX has been the fastest card you can buy. It still is the fastest card. You buy hardware knowing it that it is already obsolete. Something will always come around that is faster and cheaper. Frankly, the 8800GTX has had a long life span. It will most likely reign supreme for a total of 16 months which is quite long in this industry.Quote:

The awesome results of the 8800GT should be exciting to everyone. To think that GTX owners are crying because a newer, better card has come out is naive at best.
he is talking about people who bought GTX less than month ago ...in this case he is right ....
well, im in the predicament that everyone else is in. i want dx10.1 but i have no confidence in amd's card lol.

Well think of this way.
The gt is clocked at 600 while the specs are showing benchmarks are gts cards clocked at 500.
Why not show the gts clocked at 600/1800mhz to show a true comparison of the cards.
I personally do not think this is worth the upgrade to go from a gts to a card thats 10% faster for the same price.
I will wait for the newer gts or gtx.
You're missing the point. You can get more for your used cards now and have money left over after buying a 8800gt / rv670 for less money. dont think of it as an upgrade. think of it as an even trade but you would be getting cash on top of that.Quote:

This is obviously why there is a 8800 GTS 640 Rev.2 coming out, because having the 8800 GT beat the 8800 GTS 640 stock "most of the time" is not acceptable. It needs to perform better to justify it's price point.
LMAO, and i bet you're ready to slit your wrists with your $450 AC3 GTS. Good job (sucker).Quote:

But this card seems kick a*s for the price.

what is this?
i also noticed that the testing temps were 86C!!! jeez thats pretty high.
is that sheath thats covering the heatsink made of aluminum or plastic?
VIVO chip area maybe?
Looks like plastic to me
It looks like a place for Vivo chip.
What is the length of 8800GT? Is it longer than 8800GTS? Is it going to use less power than 8800GTS? I hope my NeoHE 500W will do the job. Thanks.
this is beast!
I think the review mentioned that it was an open spot for an expressport chip.Quote:
