Looks promising.

ktr · Mar 1, 2007, 05:17 PM

meh...doesn't look any different that the other 88's...

i would like one from gigabyte becuase they use solid caps...or xfx for the higher stock clocks, or evga for their warrenty.

Agreed KTR. Nothing really has the "jazz hands" or "wow" factors.

C.Ash · Mar 1, 2007, 07:29 PM

Still no reason to switch from eVGA with their lifetime warranty and trade-up program.

Looks OK, but what really matters is performance, and whether the card will give way to some gay pride type monitors.

Zotac sounds more like a prescription drug rather than a graphics card company...

Well nVidia is a GPU designing company, they do not actually make their own cards.
