No offence, but I think I speak for everyone here when I say, who cares? This is why blogs exist.

QFT. Blogs exist so that people can spout off about their dull lives and pretend someone is reading.

I got my 8800GT today. It's a real nice piece of hardware. Mine runs pretty cool, too, under 50 idle and under 60 load. I expected 70s and 80s under load. I can hear the fan, but it's no louder than my x1900gt, and it runs cooler and powers oblivion much better. gl man.

I was done with my growing up years ago, and I'm sure in another 10 years I still won't be interested in what someone on the internet just ate for breakfast or just bought for his PC.

You still don't need to be rude, or is that a prerequisite to be taken seriously on these boards? :roll:

Thought i would post my question here rather than starting a new topic.

Right, i wanna get an 8800GT at some point. But wanted to know if it needs a seperate power-connector? If so, what type of connection does it use from the PSU?

Hey, look on the manufacturer's site for more info. My Evga one said on the site that it needs a 400W powersupply with 22 amps on a 12 volt rail. Also, your power supply needs at least one PCI 6pin connector (to power your video card).

Then why do you post on forums, especially the PC hardware forum, if you don't care about what people on the internet just bought for their PC? Apparently you still have more growing up to do than you know, child. Don't post or read the messages if you don't care. Being civil is part of integrating into adult society. Perhaps you'll understand one day.

Hey guys, what's with the hostilities? I only posted because I thought it'd remind people of their excitement/anticipation when they first got their 8800 GT, nothing more. I'll remember not to do so in the future it seems.

You don't need to post then. If you see a topic that says "I ate this for breakfast," don't click on it.

I'm not sure why everyone's being so belligerent, but I'll say that I DO care that you are getting an 8800GT. :) Congratulations and I hope you enjoy the card!

I don't. But this one said 8800GT...nevermind. If you're gonna **** about my answers, then don't quote my posts asking questions like "why do you post." I clicked on this thread, saw that it was a dud, and gave it a piece of my mind.

And again you didn't have to be rude. Have you heard the saying "if you have nothing nice to say then don't say it all"? It's okay to be civil or is that asking too much from you?

Oh will you just quiet down and let it go. I wasn't even being rude at the poster directly, just commenting on what some guy said about blogs. You decided to bite onto the topic and extend it by pages with lectures on forum etiquette.

no offense though, it might have been a slightly better idea to pay the extra 50 and get the 8800GTS. That card is sick. I think im getting it for christmas.
