Ya, return 8800 and pay difference for new, better card.

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

Yes I don't have to return it until they are ready to ship me one, so I Over night ship it through work (making them pay for it) wait a 3-5 days for ground! then new card, in the meantime i use my old 7800GT laying around until it comes in.

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.

That review is dumb, quad sli for 1600x1200 reso? what a waste.

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.

That reminds me... how long has it been since consumer CPU's plateaued at 3GHz?

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.

We're talking video cards here not processors, go make your own thread,
