Link us to the original page for the respective product... not a picture of it. Also, look at the 9800GT card.

Well the truth is i bought this card on Ebay.
The one in the photo 1 is the one they had on the auction.Number 2 is the one i got (its a used card but it works LOVELY) i ask because, i know the initial 8800 had some cooling problems.
Even if you search, you will find the #1 as the flag card.
So im confused.
Many Thanks NNNG

I have an 8800GT with this cooler:

No heat problems here. Temperatures are hot, but nothing unusual especially compared to todays high-end cards. I get 85C MAX when overclocked in a stress test program called Furmark, and 82C during normal gaming.

I THINK some of the heat related problems were due to a buggy BIOS that some older cards had. I believe the fan would be stuck at 30%, so it would roast when under a load.

Well mine is the n 2 picture.So far i had no problems but i was just curious, because i tryied to buy two like yours but for both times they send me the "n2" so i wanted to know what was the more recent one? What i found was, that the one you have the cooler is not over the GPU itself but it cools ok, but i found nothing on mine
Can you tell me so far what you think of the performance on this card? I saw several bench. and it beats the GTS and GTX.Thats why i got it.And if you have any recomendations for fs 2004,teaks PLSSS tell me.
Many Thanks and HAPPYHOLYDAYS
