My 7800 GTX has been crashing and throwing artifacts constantly so it seemed like a great time to move up. I'm really stoked about the HDMI a/v signal processing.

i farted in your general direction....

btw, the lifespan of the 8800's has to be the shortest one yet

Runs like a champ. So far I've played GH3 maxed out with no FPS issues, Overlord on max, and Crysis on its auto-detected medium settings. All played at 1680x1050. Haven't tried UT3 yet but I'm sure it will run well enough.

I don't think my onboard sound card (msi neo4 platinum sli) has pins for an internal spdif connection so sadly I can't setup the HDMI yet.

Mine will be here today. Ill give UT3 a slam and tickle.

For some reason my ass hurts now.

TO be fair, they ARE landslide. and the 8800GT i "was" looking at, would of been faster.

Just not 70ish $ faster.

The 9600 wasn't out when I ordered my 8800gt, but with evga's step up program I'll have a 9800gt around the end of the month or so.
