Yay, so eVGA did infact get that 6800GT to me today that I stepped up from the 6600GT.
First test in 3dmark05 got me 4841. Socket A system is definitely limiting me. However, the summer days are definitely already starting here in whats known as the high desert of california. It's like 81F in my room right now and when I first opened I saw it at 65C and just keep climbing. Right now it's sitting at 75C IDLE...yes IDLE...and the nvidia temp sensor is showing that in the yellow bar zone....oddly enough it never went past 83C full load which hell my 6600GT would hit that when OC'd, so I guess it's not too bad.....buuuut my mom said 'the AC isnt coming on anytime soon' lol for electricity cost reasons.
I had considered waiting to see when DFI would release their NF3 board so I could go to AMD64 but I think I'm going to have to go with my original plans and get a WC system to cool this puppy down.
Anyway I'll probably post some more with aquamark and 3dmark03 scores
