The Nvidia gods have landed

DX10 will be only in Vista. However getting this card for the support only makes no sense, much cheaper and more energy efficient cards for DX10 with all the shader niceness etc. will come to market even before Vista becomes retail early 2007.
I myself wouldnt mind having one of those cards, and i'm not jealous for the ones that have it either. However i prefer keeping my 3 pc's leveled getting all of them to play BF2 and 2142 smoothly.
The energy consumption of these cards is outrageous. Thinking Intel and AMD are strugling to get their energy consumption down by lowering die sized and all, Nvidia and amd/ati are still in the FPS battle carring not for making more energy efficient cards at all, since they need to be # 1.
Honestly i made a calculation, (yeah i dont live with my parents and have to pay my energy bills monthly) i would have to pay 200 euro's extra every year on energy for this card alone having the PC on and running as much as i do.
Think about that as well, before purchasing it, you need a hefty PSU as well.

LOL - I got an extra 8800GTX free......

I ordered one last week it arrived yesterday in a large box......inside were two BFG 8800GTX cards
According to the delivery note there should've only been one in the box.....and I only paid for one too!!!

It's nice ordering from a company that's fucks things up in a good way....and I'm keeping the damn thing too!

You need to go out and buy your own power station now to run them, christ you will have enough (graphics) processing power to run the economy of a small country.

Are you going to run SLi, or sell the second? I think I'd run SLi and be the coolest kid in the UK.

Diesel boy... why would you spend 470 on a graphics card in the first place? Theres something called life. 470 quid pays for 40 nights out for me.

I'm not going to boast but I earn plenty enough to buy just about anything I want....I work hard and therefore I can get what I please.

Besides, I'm 33, have 2 kids and have done the "going out, getting shit-faced drunk and shagging everything with a pulse" thing at school, at Uni and in the army and it gets tiresome after a while.

No offense......but I'd rather not piss £100 up a wall every week

@OP: what are you doing running benchmarks with a single GPU? that's undoubtedly the most moronic post i've seen in the last 3 years.

single GPU benchmarks are so 2004.
