hey dude... nice!!!
I got the HIS one aswell last saterday... and i must say i was really impressed with the packaging and build quality... its a beast!!! and so solidly constructed... you just can feel its gonna do the business.
looking online at the sapphire packaging.. it looks a bit shabby in comparison... im sure the sapphire card itself is fine though.
bet you gonna have a few restless nights before it arrives.. hehe
prepare to be impressed!!!
I see youre 3Dmark06 score is 6496 at the moment... prepare to double it!
Well i managed this below on a 3.2ghz overclock on my Q6600 (stock GFX):
Then i clocked the Q6600 to 3.4ghz and got this (stock GFX clocks):
its a beast
this card needs a high clocked CPU to really shine but i see you already clocked yours up... ... either way itll be the most powerfull piece in your machine and the best upgrade GFX you could get at this point
I am still on the retail cooler on my Q6600, so i only clocked it to 3.4 for a quick benchmark and then set it back down again after the 3Dmark06 bench... after that i then clocked the card to XT standards and have not done a bench with it... it ran comfortably at XT settings for 4 hours while i played "Medal of Honor Airborne" then i had to go to bed
