Well, it's just for 2-3 secs, and that's it. Even at full load, the fan is quiet. You can come by and check it out if you want.

IMHO, the best value card in the GeForce 8 series. Far better than plonking down money for the GeForce 8600/8500 series.

I wish was more of a gamer so I could justify getting one for myself. Damn, what a sweet card.

It is really a sweet card. Take a look at the benchmark results - Tech ARP - NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT Graphics Card Review

So far, the best value GeForce 8800 series card.

Now I would like to see if this card paired with a hd-dvd/bluray drive could do hi-def on the pc with good performance.

Oh, the GeForce 8800 GT comes with a new video processor that takes over the entire decoding of HD videos from the CPU. So, CPU times are apparently around the 20% when decoding HD videos.

Of course, you will need to use a HD decoder software that supports the NVIDIA PureVideo processor. The newer versions of Cyberlink DVD player and other DVD players should support it. Otherwise, you will have to buy the NVIDIA PureVideo decoder...

that only applies to h.264.

purevideo HD cant handle the entire VC1 decoding.

Oh yeah, it can't fully decode VC-1. If I'm not mistaken, the GeForce 8800 GT's VP2 processor can handle all but bitstream processing for VC-1
