Had these cards been 100$ cheaper they would look to be very competitive. The only thing I notice, particulary on the Crysis benchmarks, is there is minimal performance drops when increasing the AA compared to the Nvidia cards.
However without any further reviews/benchmarks, questionable...
Not a bad price....but for a few hundred more you can pick up the Panny 720p set same lumens better CR....
Wouldnt focus so much on the lumens depends on the amount of ambient light. I am using an Optoma HD70 with 1000 lumens (4000:1 CR) in a bright room but on a 120 inch da lite high power...
I know there is a separate thread regarding things but BEWARE........any of the cards that require activation at the register will not work! If they are in the plastic packaging that do not require activation at the register they should be ok.
This has been confirmed on the cheap ass gamer...
Never thought Best Buy would be just as cheap but I picked mine up B&M a few weeks ago 279 + 12% of coupon so was around 250 otd.
As soon as another round of coupons and or sale hits Im gonna pick up another one for SLI.
***Update****
Got a new power supply....antec 550 sli computer is still turning off when idle. I run vista 64bit....only thing in idle that turns off is the monitor. I ran a sandra stress test passed fine.
My next culprit could be software/vista? Gonna leave my pc in the bios screen...
System temp is 27c
Cpu 32c
Im using a rosewill 500w power supply with fan on auto....had no problems on my last build (however only a single core core athlon 3200 with ati 1900xt vid card)
i did read rosewill can be shady for psu's
im gonna go out and buy a new psu, as i will be...

I am going to make the upgrade to vista...decked my new build out with core duo cpu and 8800gt sli. Mainly for gaming....be honest is vista 64 bit worth the hassle over 32 bit? I ran xp 64 bit for a month or so and had nothing but problems.
Further distressing....i have yet to see any...
Yea I was thinking about that but too many negative things can happen...
Will probably sell it on ebay (or have someone sell it for me haha I dont use ebay so I won't have a user rating)

Haha looks like a have a free projector. Well, I still feel a bit guilty but the fact that I sat on the phone with them for 30 minutes, asking me to fix there problem, I think I will be ok!
So a few weeks ago I bouth the Optoma HD70 projector online then picked it up at the store.
Last week the item was 100$ cheaper and had a free screen, so I went to the store and they changed my receipt date so I could receive the rebate.
Friday I cam home from work and I had a FedEx...
