As you can see they are not cheap, I am testing them to destruction.
So far my PC has not been turned of for just comming up to 2100 hours yep that's almost 3 months. :eek:
And still they run happily but for how much longer we ask.
As you can guess I play BF2 with these makes for a good time. :D

Fairly impressive video there, although the second link is showing a different card from what was used in said video. Not quite sure I would ever pay 2,000 (dollars or pounds) for even one card let alone two ;)

Wholly JEEBUS. I dont think I would ever need that power. Pete you should run a benchmark for kicks on Crysis with the "balls-to-the-wall-crazy-go-broke" settings. lol ::thumbsup::

Sorry, but last thing I want and that's a noisy video card, I remember the old western digital hard drives back in the days, them damn things was one noisy SOB, I use to use them as boot scrappers.

Oh, and with me wearing 2 hearing aids, the load noise would drive me nuttier then I am. :>)
