Also, anyone care to refer me to a writeup on updating the firmware to 6790? Thanks!

Is Sapphire still the manufacturer of choice aside from this MSI model?

Thanks for your input, I didn't mean to reply to this thread but start my own and not hijack it. I'll move this.

Here's a shot of the airflow. You can see the fan in the front, and where the card is. Disclaimer: This was taken during bleeding, I know there is air in there :)

Good stuff on being able to re-use the block. How much heat do you think the ram will dish out and how will it hold up in a SFF with minimal airflow? I run a SFF with watercooling and only 1 80mm case fan, beside the fans on my Radiator which pull across the mobo from the top. That offers...

Think its worth it for me to buy this card, even though I'm going to remove the cooler and WC it? Also, you say its not a reference card, so is the layout similar enough to nvid spec designed boards to use a "8800" watercooling block with it? Thanks for any help. I'm upgrading from a...

Pick a company also. I did some googling to help you out and everyone takes artsy camera shots at angles that make all of them worthless. A few people did 3d renders of the card, so you might be able to snag an image from then and just scale it out yourself.

Installing the card will certainly offer you a large performance upgrade. It won't get the absolute max out of the card, but it will show very noticable difference from your current.

Good to know guys, thanks for the tips.

Heh, thanks for the offer :) I'm out in CA though. I guess I'll just be adding a block myself, I already have a loop with a Maze5 block on my older card. Still considering the stock watercooled cards because of warranties.

I can't recall exactly but I believe there was a benchmark program that is actuall FOR autcad applications. I'll check. EDIT: http://autocadder.blogspot.com/2007/12/benchmark-hidden-in-autocad.html According to this site there is a test program file in your autocad files in some...

Are there any other cards that come with a stock WC block in the 8800 series beside the $600 one from BFG? I couldn't find any at first glance, and I kinda just want to have it shipped to my house and slap it straight into my loop in place of my old card. (Upgrading from a sluggish...
