We made it. You bought it. Let's see it!
Here are my two XFX 8800 Ultra XXX (685M). They were both ordered as consecutive products (I wanted serials close to one another), and as XFX 8800 Ultra XXX (675M) products, but I got (685M) versions instead. They both cost me ~2560 USD, with current exchange value between DKK and USD. The price was 6285 DDK at the time per card + shipment.
I would have purchased a third one, if it wasn't for the fact that these beauties are no longer possible to be bought. XFX AFAIK, made these cards the most powerful aircooled cards on the planet, and they still are in effect just that.
Before these, I had two standard (575M) GTX also from XFX. They cost 5130 DDK each then, back in december '06. The Ultras was purchased in June '07, if memory is correct.
(if the pictures are too big, then I'll correct it at any notice to do so)
My RMA 8800GTS "Alpha Dog Edition" - It's hard to beat XFX for warranty support. They are very nice people and you know what's going on every step of the way by ongoing messages.
XFX 8800GT
With the really random layout unlike any other I've seen. Am I special?

So XFX's warranty is really good? How good? :D
XFX 8400GS
http://img.techpowerup.org/080604/uberpron_xfx.jpg
^HAHAH!
Im not so sure the warranty covers extreme abuse... But they sure should make an exception for XS members. :)
wat the hell did you do to that poor card?
Lol, not that good a warranty...you COULD say your dog ate it lol...
sweet ownage, looks similar to an Ultra i once had where several RAM IC's ripped off, and a group of caps broke off
Here's my current XFX product... notice the red team graphics cards cast aside in my eagerness to hook it up.

8400GS vs 9800GTX :D
Are we placing bets? I think that fight is a little one sided.
I am going to have to go with the 8400GS... It totally beats the 9800GTX on power consumption. We were talking about that right?

It's great in XP as it can emulate Mouse movements and clicks, assign Keyboard keys to it, run Macros (apparently). It seems to be quite responsive in games such as GRID and is a bit heavy (which I like because I like to feel my peripherals)

^^ no idea why, vantage scores are all over the place for me, i was at 7,775 with my 9800gtx.
8800 Ultra XXX bought off of Fugger a while back. Card runs great i don't OC it though cause stock HS sucks arse. Other then that, no issues. runs around 65-72 idle/load.
bought an EK block for it recently. Will eventually put it under water. Should drop temps to mid 30s even under load.
These are from when I was GPU folding:

The 9600GSO's took 1 month of solid abuse and didn't break a sweat!
Here are my XFX GTX 280 XT and my XFX nForce 780i SLI:)
Ive only got a Pic of the complete PC.:p:
Im sure a second GTX 280 is going to be added next month:cool:
http://img3.abload.de/img/pc-b25b-19guk.jpg
That is one VERY tidy rig. Nice work. :up: The Second 280 would go really well on games like Far Cry 2, The Crysises e.t.c.Quote:

If you have anything, monitor wise, 24" or above you'll probably notice some improvement also.
Thank you!:wave:Yep i'm playing a lot of shooters like Crysis and Far Cry and I even have got a 24" Monitor, and these are the main reasons for adding a second GTX 280:up:

Anyone using the XFX PSU yet?
Would like to see it in a case.
That PSU looks pretty good. I like the specs. Especially the single rail design similar to the PCP&C PSUs.

Great minds think alike ;)
I have the same GTX260's running on an XFX 750i SLI motherboard. I'd love to get my hands on that power supply too.
Great performers and excellent value too.
as you can see in my sig I have a pair of 285 as well
of course the performance is better but I can play any game I have, and play it well, on either setup.

I'll have to post up my 4890 here. the XXX version does the same speeds as the guy a couple posts up. but XFX wont honor my warranty they say someone else registered my card in their name ??? :confused: im the first and only owner.

Brand new XFX Radeon HD 5850 & XFX XXX Edition 650W Bronze. In a Lian-Li PC-K58W.
bob did you get those two from the newegg deal last week?
Not last week; I got them on Newegg special last month. I think the total will be $202 AR--when I get the rebate checks in 8-10 weeks.
nice! i was mistaken, the deal last week was that psu but bundled with a 5830 for $165. I really wanted it.
