Yeah, I might buy one of those 8800GS', because mine just fried, don't know how exactly, but it did. It wasn't overvolted or anything at the time, I just opened up atitool, and after about 30 seconds my computer shut off. No bam, pow, crackle, or anything else.

I've already e-mailed them about RMA, lol, I bought a cheap pci-e card to hold me over in the mean time. It was like $18 bucks. lol, one of those older quadro fx cards.

Pros: I loaded up Bioshock and maxed out the settings, but this graphics slit the game's throat then ate it's entrails for dessert. It slammed Assassin's Creed's head onto the curb then stomped its head into that curb until it was nothing but a bloody pulp. This card is one bad mo-fo. It'll backhand your sister and degrade your mom, but they will still love it and want to date it because it is just that good. I love this card so much that I burned my tongue trying to french kiss it, and I still keep trying.
