it's amazing how it's like 1/3 the size of the old one because of it's smaller fan.

The site is down for me at the moment. But less than the GTS.

Hmmmm, I might be able to SLI that. . .it might be tight.  But even if I can't, I could just use the extra card to upgrade my computer with the 7600 in it.  It's a file and print server for my network, lol.  It needs the hardware!

The power usage and performance look awesome.  If Nvidia can get SLI working decently on the new cards, I'll have to ditch my 8800 GTX and pick up a pair for SLI.  I refuse to go higher than 600w for SLI which is why I haven't done it with the GTX.

Man, I'm gonna get two of those cards for just a lil more than I paid for my single GTS.

How powerful is your power supply, TVC?  It looks like two of them would still require 400w at load.

Post by: TVC15 on October 24, 2007, 11:43:12 PM
ummmmmmmm, 550, I believe.  Might be 500.

I could put that in my PC right now but it would be super distinguished mentally-challenged CPU limited. Real awesome price point though, jesus christ.

And wow, you should be able to play Crysis at above Wii resolutions for the same Wii price! HONKA HONKA!
