so what are ya gonna do with those old outdated GTX's I mean I could go out on a limb here and I guess I could take one from ya and thats only cause I'm feeling nice right now
anyways you should hopefully see improved resutls along with the new drivers, not saying what your seeing now is bad

I feel stupid right now. A few days ago I ordered a new computer with 2x 256mb 7800GTX in SLI. 
Oh well, guess I'll wait for the next Nvidia family to make its appearance. With my 256mb cards on the way, the price of the 512mb cards just can't be justified.
If I may ask - Marcdaddy, what kind of program are you using to get your fps and game benches?

We're talking about CoD2 e.g. not quake3 modified engine...
Hey Marcdaddy, are you planning on putting an aftermarket cooler on those things? I'm curious on how many ram chips this thing has. (I'm assuming 16) May pick up a pair depending on how much of an improvement is seen over the 256MB cards, but I plan on WCing them.
Ok before i run off top work real quick, a couple of things heres a pic of the back of the cards, Yes my womans folks are paying for the wedding its only up around $16K which is crazy! my family is paying for the open bar for 5 hours. And yes im gonna take all the money i get from the wedding and spend it on aftermarket cooling for my video cards..well maybe not that lol. Also im using mostly in game FPS counters or timedemos i also use Bench Em All, Farcry by the way at 1600X1200 4XAA and 16XANIS with everything max, Supersampling and Gamaa AA on got 81.6 FPS using Benchem all. Be back with my benchs around 1 PM central leave me some more stuff you guys wanna see in the forums and ill run it for you.
Heres where my wedding reception is gonna be, its in a historic train station. LOL just noticed my girlfriends ass crack is almost hanging out, like the wedding planner i think he loves his job too much.

Really.

Every single one of the images are not working because of all the hits this thread took. lol. Congratz MD... you were the first I saw with SLI'd 512s... whew.
OMG the SITE IS UP!!! Just when i was gonna post mopre screens the site is down, for like 2 days. Im glad to report BF2 runds TITS at 1920X1440 All max details 4XAA 8XANIS with Multisampling and Gamma AA, Thats the seet spot. Thats all i been playing that and FEAR. Anyway kinda lame that the site took a dump lol.
Oh ya, i bought 2 more from TD, when i left they had 5 left and i dont know if they waited to sell them, Sold the other 2 for $850 a piece, so between selling my other 2 XFX cards and the profits from the other 2 i broke even for this upgrade. Know im gonna order a New Dual 16X PCI mobo for these cards and not sure if i should get a X2 or a Dual core Optoron.
Marcdaddy - can you check the airflow on that cooler and let us know how it works?
IE: Does it pull air in through the fan and blow out both ends or pull air in from the ends and blow out from the fan / center?
Depending on how the air flows - this could potentially be an issue for anyone with only 1 PCI slot width between their cards....

It blows right out the Back, So my card #1 in sli which is sandwiched between the 2nd card and the CPU runs around 75C to 80C while gaming while card #2 is at 58C to 65C, this is with the case all closed up, when its open it drops around 2C to 5C. The air flow out the back is pretty consistent with a small sized case fan but is very very quiet. I cant even hear it, i had to visually look at it to make sure it was running.

=======================
Okay, so it was'nt so much a question...
HEHE, if i gave you one of those 6800GTS id have to take 1 of the 2 PCs i use to have Lan parties, i got a couple of systems set up to have some nice Fragging fun. The worst setup out of the 4 is a Chaintech 754 Mobo with a A64 3000, 1 gig of Corsair 3200, 6800GT and a soundblaster Audigy card. So peeps will be dissapointed looking at a black screen while we play lol.
