Really considering upgrading from my 8800GTX to this. The HDMI out is a bonus so I don't have to use an adapter anymore.

Because Quad SLi is dumb for everything except Crysis, and is almost always CPU limited.

So unless you have a 30" LCD or a quad at 4Ghz+ quad sli is bragging rights and a fuckton of money.

Haven't been a fan of SLI since I tried it with 2 7800GTX's back in the day. Wasn't worth it then and it isn't worth it today, unless you just have the extra money to blow.

my E-vga setup is done, they just emailed me asking for a copy of my receipt so I took a photo of it and uploaded it. I am guessing next week I will have to ship back my old card... that was very quick.
