Hey there, everybody. I thought I'd post some pics of just how advanced IMO the 6800 GT is, especially when compared to my "old" vid card, a Gainward Geforce FX 5800 (yes, 5800).

I attached a massive heatpipe to the 5800 'cause I hated its leafblower-like sound. It's amazing to see the difference between the overly-complicated 5800 and the elegant (and astoundingly fast) 6800 GT. The pics are attached.
