Bucket of cold water
PS To be fair, I think nVidia's waranty is one year but is extended to two years with registeration.
Any word on the warranty? I've read claims of 2 years on the GTO2 but, no official confirmation.

Localan, could you (or anyone else) please describe to me what's included in the "Lite Retail" version? I bought a X800GTO2 "Lite Retail" from page computers, and got:
- plain, brown box
- Sapphire X800GTO2 256mb PCI-E video card
- S-video cable
- composite video cable
- S-video -> composite video adaptor
- VGA -> DVI adaptor
- Molex power -> PCI-E power adaptor
- Driver CD
I think that's it. I checked some pictures from other etailers, and it seems the "Lite Retail" version comes in a nice, pretty color box? Did Page Computers send me an OEM card when I ordered a "Lite Retail"? If so, that's a bit annoying, but they did get it to me pretty quickly. I'm mainly concerned with whether or not the OEM's have the 2yr warranty?

Ok, just making sure . Thanks for the quick replies.
Well, I just sold my 6800GT @ Ultra speeds so I guess I have to keep this card, sorry NutDotNet.
Even though supposedly ATI cards should dominate any HL2 Source-based games, my 6800GT @ Ultra outperforms this GTO2 at 1280x1024 at max settings (6x AA, 16x AF, Full HDR, etc.) in DOD: Source. I think it may be a driver issue or something, since I read about some people getting low frame-rates in DOD: Source, even some guys with 7800GTX's. Anyone else experiance this problem with their GTO2? I do get 6207 3dMark05's with the rig in my sig, and I can play BF2 at 1280x1024 res and all max settings w/4x AA (even terrain/dynamic lighting = high) and still get about 40-70FPS, which is good enough for me , so I guess this video card aint so bad .
Good luck with everyone else who's looking to buy this card. (we should start a thread with everyone posting their max overclocks and what-not with these video cards :-D)
