Thanks, but I was looking for EVGA overclocked ones, to use the stepup program, not the MSI ones.

Anybody notice that during the day, the EVGA card has gone from 650/1625 MHz to 670/1674 MHz both on Egg and EVGA websites (still listed as 650 elsewhere such as zipzoomfly, mwave, tigerdirect, )? Certainly not earth-shattering, but somewhat interesting. The predominance of stock-clocked and few even announced factory OC cards is somewhat intriguing. Is everyone working on a non-reference design, or is this just going to be an orphan card bridging to the next round?

EVGA's strategy has always been to release the vanilla card first, then the OC'd models.
Someone made a reference recently to Pavlov's Dogs. Add the Skinner Box to the list...

are they faster than 8800GTX ?
I wish nvidia had increased the core speed to 750Mhz , memory to 2.4Ghz+ , 512Bit. Than it would be worth $350.

OT I guess, but how do you overclock video cards? By loading a modded BIOS or is it a program you have to run every time you run Windows?

I was foolish enough, at least in hindsight, to get a 8800 GTS 640 about three months ago, but the new GTS 512 is saving me from getting burned too badly. I went eVGA, and I've got 18 days left so I'm stepping up the 512. Ironically this is a drop from a $395 card to a $355 card (and costing me around $20 in shipping) so I still got a little burned. On the other hand, I've enjoyed the card I have for 72 days now and for just $20 am getting the boost, so I'm just happy it came out in time.
I'm be sad I didn't wait longer when/if the 9xxx cards come out in Feb and there won't be an upgrade for me, but until then I'm going to keep feeling like I dodged a bullet.
