But I think the coolest part is that evga is also selling the cooler separately. Its about time a company does something like that.

EDIT: I just checked the site and evga is selling it for $289.99! Not bad at all!
I bet here in the UK it will retail around £230
Thats way to high - thats why I got a 8800 GTS 512Mb sitting in my PC @ 730Mhz Core & 2100Mhz mem & it only cost me £190.
Would beat that card in EVERY test going.
It would be great if that card retailed in at the same price as other GT cards - but it wont.
Quality comes at a price, and this card makes no exception.
I don't really like factory overclocks, being an overclocker myself, I enjoy getting the most of my hardware by myself.
As a last note: I like the fact they're selling the cooler separately also!
It does work though, and certainly adds value to the card :)
cheers

I can't believe some of you guys got sucked in by advertising :laugh:
I'd get it for the warranty though, can't go wrong with EVGA's crazy warranty.
Great performance tho, i dont notice much difference between my GTX and modded GT.
