    Real prices are the only thing that will set this apart for most of us, seeing as all the cards are the same.

    Hi kemo6600, thanks for your comments mate

    The charts ( flash ) should open in the page embed, and you shouldn't have to click on them.They should open up automatically.

    Which browser are you using mate ?

    TIM:
    I always use the old-trusty Arctic Ceramique.

    As for the RAM "pads", you can use them again, but better switch to new ones ( like the 3M Thermal Pads )

    I've got news boys:
    Twintech's sales manager is contacting Newegg & a distributor ( MaLabs ) to have their products on sale.

    She also told me to give you her e-mail, and if you're interested into buying a Twintech GeForce 8 Series card, e-mail her with "Sales Inquiry - from BenchZone Review" as title ( she's really busy, and receiving lots of e-mails, the title will help her "pick up" your e-mails asap )

    Contact:
    Helene
    helene [at] twintech3d [dot] com

    Regards,
    BenchZowner

    P.S. Pricing will be very good

    There's a round-up coming soon
    But there'll be minimal to none difference between 8800GTXs of various manufacturers because...it's the same card, same PCB, same ICs...just a different sticker on the HSF

    [ the only real difference could be...a card that comes with a custom HSF, and...b) a small variation on the max stable & max benchable OCs, but that's just luck & varies from card to card ]

    usually there is some variation between the various OC editions though.

    Ofcourse there'll be a difference if you're comparing a stock 8800GTX vs a pre-overclocked 8800GTX

    Nope.

    Twintech is an independent company ( currently owns Connect3D as well )
