    For the moment, only 3DM06 runs

    First run on an E6400, all stock



    Now, E6400@ 2,66GHz (8x333). The scaling IS GREAT!


    Switched to a QX6700@ 3,2GHz, card o/c 645/1030

    Cool

    Yeah that ASUS 8800GTX really is a great card, 8800GTX in general..:P

    I also tried the ASUS-version yesterday, and was really surpriced over the noise from the fan, which was really quiet!
    And the 11k in 3dmark06 is pretty impressive too, especially since dx9 is emulated - think of what the card can do in dx10

    Isn't there a DX10-version leaked somewhere, by the way?..and a dx10 game?
    Can't wait to see the dx10 performence..
    INTEL Core2Duo e4300 1800MHz@3400MHz on air - that's what I call "value for money"

    Ya, in 2D maybe.

    That motor is bigger than the one in the X1900XTX, so I'm expecting it to be even louder under load.

    No, 120mm is quieter because it spins slower and has bigger fan blades. The blades on the G80 are still tiny, and a big motor only means that it is able to spin really fast.

    I'm surprised everyone has forgotten about the infamous "dustbuster" already.



    The similarities are uncanny.
