I got a 14% fps boost over series 181 drivers on my Geforce 260 in Crysis Warhead. Pretty happy with 'em.

[OOS] BFG GTX260 OC - $200 AR + S&H

Ordered card and registered today. Got confirmation that bundle is on its way in 2-3 weeks. Will update. So it appears they have quantity as of today, 11/3. Will update when I receive the goodies. Not sure why they couldnt just email the 3dmark download code but whatever.

[OOS] BFG GTX260 OC - $200 AR + S&H

Is it worth it to upgrade to this from a 9800 GTX? 9original version, not 9800 GTX+ or 9800GX2.

e8600 not OCCT stable: too much or too little voltage?

http://www.xbitlabs.com/misc/p...-e8600/temp-e0.png&1=1 This graph from an xbit labs review shows that the idle temeprature is around 39c going up to 70c at load, which is comparable to my own experience of around 401c idle, 75c at load. So I don't think something is crazy wrong, though...

I will try slowly scaling back the voltage. It probably is not necessary. I just feel a little disappointed that I paid for a premium cooler like the xigmatek s1283. Wasnt the point of doing that so I can run high voltages without worrying overheating? I just ran occt again and it was stable...

e8600 not OCCT stable: too much or too little voltage?

I've been really happy with my new e8600 on a DFI Bloodiron. I thought it was stable because it passed 8 hours prime, 4.1ghz at 1.32v so I left it as my 24/7. On a lark I decided to try OCCT and left it before I went to school today. I came back 10 hours later and my computer has shut down...

EVGA 8800GT 512MB @ MC $224

I also wanted to point out eVGA has the step it up program, where if a new card is released within 90 days of your purchase, just mail in your old card and pay the difference and you can get it. So if you were planning to get a 9800 series anyway, there's no reason not to get the 8800 gt now if...

Where do credit cards companies make most of their money?

If you mean the high interest on credit cards, that is incorrect. They earn most of their money, as previously described, by a percentage of credit card sales charged directly to the business. Then they INVEST that money and earn the INTEREST from those investments. Fees and credit card...
