Some advice for anyone thinking of getting this card first off the size its 13 inches long and because its so long they have put the power connectors on the top of it and not at the back this means that you will need a fairly wide case or you wont be able to get the side panel back on, secondly the card requires a 6pin pcie connector and a 8pin connector with a recommended power supply of 700w, If you do buy this card dont install the drivers of the cd in the box there not to stable go to the official website and get the latest drivers. other than that its a great card my 3dmark06 score has gonr from 12000 to just under 16000.
 
Its not the best pic but i didnt think to take any before putting it in the case

I dont think you can get a cooler for it because its incased in plastic but it has a special fan of its own and i havent had any overheating trouble so far.
 
I dont think so when i installed the card i ran my q6600 at stock to see what difference it would make and it made none the card is amaizing i played crysis with 4x anti and everything on high and i got a frame rate of 53fps, but if you are concidering getting one please read my first post in this thread !!!
 
yeah i read your first post. i just wanted to ask if a 9800gx2 would bottleneck a q6660. i might settle for the newer cards when they come out, the GTX 280 if i remember correctly.
