I just ordered a 8800GT with 1024mb of vram for only 244€. Very nice deal.

thank you geizhals

I want two in SLI under x64. It is good to see manufacturers understand what customers want.

Oh, and twelve points for calling it the STFU edition.

Please, just a couple of minutes research even if you have no idea about the topic you are writing the article about...

"We haven’t seen anyone actually sticking a G92 card in a PCIe 1.0 or 1.1 slot, but it makes for an appealing selling point for upgraders."

Have a look at the marketshare split between PCIe 1.1 and 2.0

I searched the EVGA website looking for the updates so that I could tweak my video card's fan speed but couldn't find it anywhere. Could you provide a link somewhere?

Thanks,

Merry Xmas

I'd say this card is for anything *but* an HTPC. HTPCs are usually built around mATX-size enclosures, which are pretty hard to cool as it is. Throw in a passively cooled high performance graphics card and you have the recipe for a meltdown ...literally. :)

Why is it strange that the cooling solution moves the heat to the back of the card? Isn't it stranger that in a normal tower case in the upright position (and most are) that the heat usually rises through the card from the fan side to the backside? A lot of the heat is trapped on the underside of a tower case GPU, fans be damned. We need to design a motherboard and/or GPU layout that puts the GPU chip on the top side. Heat tends to rise, and trapping it under the card is a poor design that has been tolerated for too long.

LOL! Love the biting humour. Not just here but in many other stories too... namaste

Actually, I do have a 8800GT stuck into a PCIe 1.1 slot, since I do not own a X38 nor any fancy nForce 7xx or other future products.
