nice card, but the price, isnt it a bit on the higher side??? anyways congratz on the card.....

john_the_ultimate · 11-06-08

Can you guys see the pictures? My mistake the folder was not made public.

Anyways, yes the card is a bit costly due to the included heatsink. Maybe the overclock would justify the price. Lets see.

Thank you guys.

@KiD0M4N
Will do that, as soon as I get some time.

@forum67
Fans and CCFL's are of Logisys. Got it as combo offer. The chipset use the push-pin type installation.

BTW,finally got some time to o'clock the card and got these results.
Default are:
Core: 600
Shader: 1500
Memmory: 900/1800

After overclocking:
Core: 730
Shader: 1840
Memory: 1000/2000

Idle temps were: 47c
Load temps were: 57c with fan speed set at 70%

Got 12101 in 3dmark06. I think that my cpu is holding me back. What do you guys think? It's E4300 @ 3GHz
