Yukon Trooper Posted March 22, 2008 Posted March 22, 2008 You could probably get away with it, but I sure as hell wouldn't do it. Especially if you're going to overclock the card. To each their own, I suppose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
uneedav8 Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 Well considering the fact that I am going through the step up program through evga the GX2 is my best option atm. Well the other question that I should have asked does anyone think it would be safe to use a 6 pin to 8 pin adapter? The funny thing is that the BFG card in the review at guru3d came with a 6 pin to 8 pin adapter. Considering that the two extra pins are grounds, I can't see why it would hurt to use the adapter.

red930 Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 Early drivers for this card has shown NO GO. I'm hoping the drivers will mature to see a much better performance gain. If this card isn't all that as it was rumored to be i would just get 2xGT's and put them in SLI, which would be cheaper even. Just my opinion....

uneedav8 Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 Still would have rather seen a 9800GTX....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailindawg Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 Still would have rather seen a 9800GTX....... I believe the Anandtech article stated that the 9800 single cards would be available in April. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
snugglealufacus Posted April 9, 2008 Posted April 9, 2008 Sucks. I am in the step up process (just waiting for my payment on my internetz credit card to go through) and the only reason I got by is due to their extended step-up process. Figures, my step-up ended march 20th, the card came out around what? the 25th? lol. I'm not much of an overclocking-elitist, but I will try to see how she does.
