Finally got one ... and what can i say .. besides WOW ... and this actually makes a hell lot more sense than the MS BS ... anyway ..

Had to shell out 13.8k's for the card .. XFX 512 MB Alpha Dog Edition ... and guess what already running at 700/1750/1900 out of the box .. and considering the kind of oc people are getting on this card , mine is such noobish *www.orkut.com/img/i_funny.gif ... i tested the core over 750 MHz , didn't have guts to go further *www.orkut.com/img/i_funny.gif .. for now i'm more than satisfied with the performance *www.orkut.com/img/i_bigsmile.gif .. which would be like :

3DMark06 : 12302 ( ORB ) (varies a bit , darn driver *www.orkut.com/img/i_sad.gif)

And as for ingame performance ... well .. u know about the only game i'm concerned right now *www.orkut.com/img/i_bigsmile.gif .. well .. running at 1280*1024 , very high , 16x AF etc. etc .. no motion blur ... and r_TexturesStreaming set to 0 *www.orkut.com/img/i_funny.gif ... lowest fps i saw was around ~27 .. avg. FPS 33-34 *www.orkut.com/img/i_bigsmile.gif .. here are some screenies :

And the funny part it .. people are actually swearing that the newer drivers are actually better .. now only if nhancer and rivatuner didn't have any problem with it ... coz i'm stuck to 169.04 right now ... 17x.xx anyone ??

Oh btw .. fan speed set to 80% from default 30% ... and i hardly hear any sound (good cabby , or rather noisy ceiling fan *www.orkut.com/img/i_funny.gif) .. load temps with oc <70c (this is due to the cabby *www.orkut.com/img/i_bigsmile.gif) ...

Will update with pics later ... now i'm off to drooling

8800 is really bang for buck. Just read the detailed review at anandtech. This card beats 8800 GTS hands down. :D

Darn my 6k budget so had to settle for 8600 GT but its still rox for all the RTS and Car games I play :D

yeah, bang for the buck ..

but you still need to be rich to have one :(

still 13.4 k makes me think twice :))

but id better go for ATi 3850 for 179 $.. underclocked version of 2900 XT with a narrower bus but who cares....
best bang for buck till date... closest competitor is 8600 GTS which is thrashed by the card :p

will be good dx 10.1 solution until the 9 series of nvidia arrives :)) :)) :))

I am surely getting a ATI Card for next upgrade as AMD seems to have hit the sweet spot 3800 series and nVidia cant compete it in terms of Cost to Performance ratio.

GeForce 9x better be good as ATI's big ones sure gonna rock cost wise :D
[ATi seriously needs to concentrate on India alot more]

:D .. after loads of testing , i finally have settled for 650/1650/1900 on the card , temps are well under 70c with fan set to 75% ... and fps in Crysis is still roughly the same .. maybe ~1 fps diff ...
