Sweet!

But no game today uses that much RAM (not even 768MB on the GTX)! But maybe Crysis will! :D

THIS IS MADNESS!

How much did it cost you?

Anyways, enjoy your new card - no doubt that thing will rip..

What CPU do you have? I have two 512mb versions btw lolLouieV13

i've only got an E6420, but its overclocked to 3.6ghz on water. does let the 3dmark score down compared to using a quad core for benching. but i've been happy with the results. most are in, ill start a new thread with a review of how it went. btw i hear that 2x512mbs crossfire is awesome. the bloke that sold me the vid card is getting just over 16,000 with his, but he has a q6600 @ 3.4ghz.

and as for how much it costed, i paid $600.00 AUD for it. expensive, yes. butwho cares? the card does a very nice job.

Nah i wouldnt say a lot for this type of card. Just expensive given that it doesnt really OUTPERFORM the competition. you can get a HD 2900 512mb for about $545.00 AUD (shipped) and its not that far behind this thing. biggest reason i bought it is the overclocking potential.

now, people, HELP! lol im a noob at posting pics in a thread. when you go to upload the images, it asks fora URL for where the picture is.. i dont have a website or anythin, they're just on my hard drive? how the **** should i upload them? do i need to create a picture album in my gamespot profile first? i've done some basic benchmarking, and i've got screens.

awesome, cheers mate. ill be doin that shortly. FYI i just ran Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, with all settings maxed, 4xAA and 16xAF, HDR on,@ 1680x1050 resolution. And also in Catalyst Control Centre, i put AA on 8x, as well as Wide-Tent 16x Samples, AF on 16x, temproal AA on and Adaptive AA on. pretty much as maxed out as it gets. averaged about 80-90 fps. some areas 60, some areas 140. was stoked about that.

LOL, to give you a general idea of prices here:

- GPUs:
8800 GTS 320MB: $350-400
8800 GTS 640MB: $500-650
8800 GTX: $700-1100
8800 ULTRA: $1000-1400
HD 2900 XT 512MB: $500-600

Most other components (CPUs, PSUs and cases) are roughly 50% more expensive (absolute terms) than their US counterparts.
