I wish XFX offered a step-up program.
I find it funny that you were worried about your 7900GTs dying, yet you can't wait to do a voltmod
Lifetime warranty! I wasn't worried about them dying so much as they were DOA. If you haven't been keeping track, since the 7900s came out, they were bad. Nvidia screwed up on the memory clocking or such, so the majority of them would artifact on their very first use. Incredibly common problem. But they've got it taken care of now. As far as I know, all the resellers (XFX, eVGA, etc) are selling the new batch of good 7900s now.
Robkas, sweet deal you got with all the games. HL2: Ep1 is awesome. I played the demo of Messiah, but it murdered the card. They said they have tons of optimizations to do before release... I hope they do. I can run HL2 at 1600x1200, 4xaa, 8xaniso at 80fps average, but Messiah would run at a steady 40fps on 1280x960 2xaa 2xaniso. Bad bad bad!
