Wondering if anybody has heard anything about these cards and how they compare to other makers such as BFV, eVGA, etc.
600Mhz 512MB
1.8GHZ
DDR3
PCI-E
DVI-I Hdcp Hdtv Out

Reason I'm asking is because I'm looking to replace my 3850 256mb and found a retailer with this card for $229 Canadian, which is the best price I've seen on an 8800gt.
Wondering if it's any good?
 
There are two different types of coolers for this card, the older revision (the round one) has no RAM sinks and supposedly runs at 100% duty cycle all the time, making it pretty loud.

The second revision fan I hear is better (don't know the details, haven't seen the card up close) and is quieter.

If buying from NCIXUS, I also believe that you have no choice in which card you get, either. :(
 
I believe it is the version with no ramsinks, but I already have an Accelero S1 that I would be using along with ramsinks for the memory chips.
I'm more concerned about the performance of the card, not the cooling.
 
I have an early Galaxy 8800 GT overclocked version (600/200/1500). I put a Zalman cooler on it. It's been reliable and solid. Don't let the name fool you. They produce a good product.
 
Thanks DKS
I'm going to choose between this and the eVGA 8800GT superclocked edition.
The evga is only $24 more and has the stepup program available (which I'm not even sure I'd use but the option is nice). It also runs 50Mhz faster on the memory.
Hmmm
$250Cad is a good deal for the EVGA isn't it?
 
i bought evga 8800gt superclocked and love it. good company, good card++ worth money
