Ya, the evga step-up program is a great idea. Buy a power hungry monster one month, then buy a less power hungry, more powerful one a couple months later, I'm really wondering how they manage to do that..

I actually have to check my cpu, because the temps went from 42C to 45C one night...

It is the other way for me, buy a 7900GTO 512mb Now, and in 90 days take what I can get.

Ahh, good luck getting one, I know I'm gonna need some luck.. Make sure you check out the step-up program, I was looking at the rules, they look fine, but limited quantities videocards might not be available.

Thought you guys thinking of buying one of these might want to see this . Not a huge deal mbut just thought I'd post it.

Yeah, that kind of sucks!! That HDCP thing is very important in my opinion. Looks like I will for sure be waiting until I know for sure. The little end peice is funny, I am for sure going to miss the old panel. The new one really stinks!!

Hrm, guess its something to think about, but I wont be able to get one until December (so I should know whats going on), thanks for the heads up. I heard 1080dpi or w/e its called is not reasonable, apparently past 1280x720 (or x780 not sure), you have to create pixels, and theres actually some loss in quality, read that somewhere....

Im going to take what I can after 90 days...but it may not be a 8800, just whatever they have that my computer can handle power wise and length wise.

More than a handful is a waste so they say..... :rolleyes:

She looks like half a handful or less...

[GSG-9]

I want this card NOW NOW NOW!!!
It will even fit in my case!
I hope Evga makes a version that small, that way (If I choose) I can get a 8800 now and hope it works with my psu (I know it will run with it...just don't know how stable.) and get a less power hungry version later.
