8800gtx!

[DaJe]

It's here, and it's all installed now. I was sleeping when it arrived. So wewt for me, I get DirectX 10. I got it through eVGA's step-up program, so I got $500 back on the 7950GX2 that I already had. And now, pictures!


It's here!

A notice about the insane power it will consume

And there it is!

Wrapped up in protective radiation shielding (it has an internal nuclear cell you know).

A warning about the dangers of it exploding

I was just trying to make sure it would fit in there

There's the bug that delayed my installation. Fell out of my processor's heatsink.

Unwrapped, in all it's glory

There appears to be an Nvidia label underneath the eVGA one

Massive heatsink

Massive fan

Two power connectors, of course

This thing is a beast

http://codeinsurrection.com/pics/8800/PICT6669.JPG


It has a blackish color, like gunmetal

Finally installed!

All plugged in

excited much?

[DaJe]

Oh, and I forgot to mention that I had to move my hard drive down one space to make room for it.

[DaJe]

The card actually goes over the hard drive a little bit

http://codeinsurrection.com/pics/8800/PICT6695.JPG


And the hard drive is actually slanted a little so it doesn't touch the card

That thing is beastly. Buy another and SLI them.

[DaJe]

My motherboard doesn't actually support SLI (I know, I did a bad thing). But it does support crossfire. Asus P5W DH Deluxe.

[DaveW]

No insects in there this time, right?

-Dave

[DaJe]

If an insect attempts to crawl into my video card, a small nuclear detonation will be set off.

[Zephik]

rofl

Will that be caused by the power of the card or the security device you installed to prevent theft?

Why would you need SLI anyways? Isn't that card already more powerful than most SLI setups for around the price?

[Ronyx]

it's like pr0n for geeks lolz

is it loud? the fan that is...

w00t can't wait til i get mine
