Finally!!! My XFX 6800GS Video Card has arrived!!!

[zachig]

Hello guys!!!

I just wanted to inform you that my XFX 6800GS Video Card that I've just won in January Contest has just arrived!!! :D

I was so excited that I finally got it that I wanted to share this moment with you guys. So first thing, I ripped off the package and took some photos of the card and its accesories.

So...here are the pics :wink: :

I'm sorry that I can't give you some benchmarks as I currently don't have a PCI-E board to support it. BUT...I have a surprise for you guys :lol: KEEP READING!!! :wink:

This is time to tell you guys that I've also won recently a NF4 Socket 939 Motherboard from EVGA!!! :shock: Yeah, you are reading right!!! :wink:
I won it in a competition that was held over EVGA website about a month ago. I had some problems with the shipment (package lost but finally was found :lol: ) so I just got it recently.

It is a "EVGA 133-K8-NF41-AX" nForce 4 SLI Motherboard!!!

To be honest, I always thought that my next NF4 mobo will be definitely a DFI NF4 Ultra-D or SLI-DR board, but I'm not the one that will say NO to a FREE board. Oh...and beside that, after reading some reviews about this board it seems that it has the same design as the "Jetway 939GT4-SLI" board, which is known as a very good overclocker!!! (comes pretty close to DFI performance or at least that's what people say about it :wink: ).

Anyway, I decided to give up on extreme overclocking and probably I'll keep that board along with my pretty XFX 6800GS, of course, and I'll buy a nice X2 3800 CPU to go along with them. I'll even make a slight overclock, I guess :) .

Anyway, here are some pics of the motherboard as well:

You can also view ALL the pictures in high resolution inside my Picture Gallery (http://www.bjorn3d.com/photos/showgallery.php/ppuser/2200/cat/500).

So...meanwhile, I'm still saving for the X2 3800. I guess I'll buy it in about a month from now.

I'll keep you updated guys!!!

I would like to thank again to both Bjord3D and XFX for providing me this wonderful Video Card!!! THANKS!!! :wink:

Sweet news zachig; thats 2 steps closer for your upgrade with the board you also won; and you said I was lucky with everything I won. All you need is a CPU and RAM unless you have some great sticks already :wink:

Heres a few reviews of that board for those who are interested:

[zachig]

All you need is a CPU and RAM unless you have some great sticks already :wink:

I currently have 2x512MB of OCZ Gold PC3200 2-2-2-5 with BH-5 chips. I really hope that they'll work properly with the EVGA mobo, since I've heard that not all OCZ sticks are working properly with it. :?

Of course I wouldn't mind having (...or winning :lol: ) a set of brand new 2GB (2x1GB sticks) RAM. :D

now all you need is the 4600 X2 from newEgg contest and your almost done.

Hehehe :lol: I wish I won that one, but I guess the contest is already over. I'm still not sure if any winner as been announced yet, so maybe a still stand a chance. :wink:

Anyway, THANK YOU all guys for your greetings. :D
