I actually have the 295 now ;)
i need to post pics of my computer with the rocketfish in it. it lights up the room at night
I just took mine back before the 30 days ran out. The hissing was kinda annoying me anyway. This evga 295 does not have that problem. I do want to get the backplate though as the 295 gets up to 90C after being under load for a while!
Also driver support (at least in windows 7) sucks for these cards once you do SLI. The only one I can run that doesn't crash is 185.2.
Edit: Still just a little bit more to get over 20000 GPU in VANTAGE ;)
Passed 20000 on the GPU section 702GPU/1512shaders

Not possible without an i7. Next CPU upgrade may be the 6/12 (cores/ht) one ;)
Not gonna take any crowns, but here's an updated score w/ new video card. CPU's changed awhile ago since I last submitted scores.
This was the only run I did, using catalyst 8.12 hotfix. Just went to ATI overdrive, maxed it, and went for it. I think I need a 3rd party util, it can go farther.

Lol, over twice what the x1900xt was doing in 06. Sweet card so far.
