It's a PowerColor, whose 9800 Pro I have dearly loved ('cept it's LOUD). I also have a Swiftech waterblock coming for the XT. Is there anything in particular I need to know about it? I'll likely use Omega's drivers on a clean XP Pro install.

Yeah, most likely, put a bucket with ice cold water next to you computer. In case you get a reaaaallly strong erection from the speed of the beast, put your doodle in the bucket and cool off! :D
 
haha good idea with the bucket of ice.

then is onehellofacard you got there, and with watercooling it will be SICK!
 
You see this? This is my jelousy Face.

Checking your specs: Wow, one hell of a system your getting there (ME BURN WITH JELOUSY!!!) I noticed you got an SLI Mobo, was your original plan SLI? If so, good choice by sticking with the X850XT

also, what CpU?
 
I THOUGHT about SLI, but I like image quality, and this board has more SATA ports than the non-SLI version. It gets a 4000 Clawhammer on it :D The 2 PCI-Ex16 slots may also allow dual ATI cards in the future if needed for their SMR (doubt it, but maybe)
 
Anyone know where to find pictures of ATI cards next to pictures of SLI setups? What I mean is I am interested to see what, in game, a pair of 6800gt's look like next to an x850xt pe. LMK if you know where to see such a screenshot comparison.
