    I should have waited for the GT or the new GTS's but what do you guys think I should get? I'll be running SLI

    Why return it? Your gtx's are still faster than the new gts in sli

    Unless you can get full price for the GTX's I wouldn't think downgrading to the new GT/GTS would be worth it.

    Really? Hmmm, well I run games at 1920x1200 and such. I'll just keep the GTX's then, still need a better cooling solution for them though. These stock fans just don't keep them cool enough for me.

    weird post , the poster didn't say why he wanted to trade down in the 1st post, then later said his gtx is getting to hot...2 gts's in close proximity will get even hotter. now he wants to keep his gtx, it only took a couple of posts to change his mind...now we need to lead him in the direction of getting that gtx cooler... so lets go guys...

    what pc box do u have and how many fans are in it?

    haha sorry for the confusion, i haven't kept up with all the new info on the 8 nvidia series and was just under wrong assumptions on card performance. right now i'm using a thermaltake armor case, 2 exhaust fans in the top right, one behind where the cpu sits, 2 intakes, one lower front and side fan.

    i've been thinking about the zalman xt water cooling kit and getting those gpu water blocks for the 8800gtx/ultra. or maybe i'll buy a window unit AC since my computer is right in front of it ^_^

    I've got a friend who got 2 8800gtxs and then went out and got gts 'on principle' because its better value for money.

    We all think he's just being dumb though.
