Out with old in with the new 640 GTS

Well I must say this 8800gts is nice. I am very impressed with the software compared with ATI.
First gun on 06' gave me 8801! I thought that was a good omen

Time to OC and see if it will run at the superclocked version.
Another first impression,..the colors seem more vivid and less "washed-out" than my 1900's

I believe the drivers were 7.4 or 7.5 and my CPU O/C was 2.98 I got a 10,590.
I had hit 10610 but I thought I saw 1 or 2 artifacts and for me that is a no-go.

I know,..is was almost a sad occasion as I pulled my "RUBY" twins out. Since the 9700, I have been ATI all the way.But this G80 GPU seems to rock.
At least I got good money for my ATI cards an paid only $305 for my new GTS-640.
