Congo Goes Burko and Spends Money!

Postby congo » Tue Oct 24, 2006 10:05 pm

I saw this video card and I just couldn't help myself, sent the money and it should arrive in a day or two.

This card is factory overclocked quite a bit, comes with a factory fitted Zalman GPU cooler, it has special high quality components for stabilty and overclocking use, dual DVI and is SLI ready.

It's bundled with a Western shooter called "Call of Juarez"

Out of curiosity how would you mount two cards in SLi with that size fan on it?
I have the same MB as you Congo and my two 7800GT CO barely have room in between the two for the fans on them let alone a fan that size.

I reckon that'll do the trick... enjoy!!

I'm still champin' at the bit to get this here 7950 up and running...shore is fancy-lookin. Cost me a peck o' pesos, too (spits on ground).
 Unfortunately it came with Hitman: Blood Money, which I already have (although it is a slideshow on my present system). ::)

Cool, already fitted with a Zalman. How do you liked it compared to a 6600GT?

Far Cry was my first non-sim game, I had a lot of fun with it.

I hope to get it by stagecoach at sunrise, but it might be the day after if they get attacked by injuns, let's see then shall we?
