Here's the whole story. I pre-order a Inno3D 8800GT 2 November. They expect them to come in stock 15 November. Okay, long wait, but nice price.

15 November comes. They are delayed at customs. This was on a Thursday, last Thursday. Friday still stuck at customs. Over the weekend I receive a e-mail. The Inno3D cards got released from customs, but they only got 15 out of 40 of the cards. The supplier messed up. So I will not be getting one. Okay, no problem. They give me a few options. I can for the same price, get a ECS, POV or Chaintech 8800GT in this week or for a slight extra cost, a XFX Extreme Edition. The other option was to wait for the next shipment of Inno3D cards, I decided to go with the XFX option, since I'm not sure on those other brands and the Inno3D will take 2 weeks. According to their ETA, but the XFX would be in this week.

Now, here's the kicker. They got the next shipment of Inno3D cards yesterday and shipped them out. So I would have had my 8800GT in my hands, right now.

Where is the XFX cards you ask? WHO knows??? I posted on their forum yesterday, they replied, but only to say the Inno3D cards came in. No mention of the XFX cards. I posted yet again just now. I hope I get a reply soon...


To top it off, I ordered Call Of Duty 4 a few days ago. Supplier out of stock. Don't you love this country?

I feel your pain. Hope you get your GT soon.

Got a reply. They said the cards have been at customs for 2 days already. They hope they'll release them tomorrow. So looks like I might get it next week.

As for Call Of Duty 4, they expect to get stock in Monday.

Time will tell, hopefully I get everything next week. >_>

10440

e6750 @ 2.8

and 8800Gt @ stock

is that good score?

should break 12k easy with my quad

[TnB= Gir]

I got around 13.5k with my E4300 @ 3.5, so it shouldn't be hard for a quad at all.

New 3dmarks for SLI, both screens CPU @ 3.3, not 3.6 (more stable)

8800 GT Single Stock - 11389
8800 GT SLI Stock - 14621 <--- keeper

And my AS5 settled in and im at 42 Idle and 48 Load! if you could put that in cooling section as Stock W/AS5. lol

for some reason OC cards in SLI give me a 1000+ score decrease. ill test some more and see if i can go higher
