I ordered 2 (don't ask why :p) Nvidia 6800 Ultra cards (agp not pci express) and expected deliver date is wednesday 23 juni 2004 :bouncy:

I need to buy a 480 watt psu because 350 watt is to few to run the thing.

Will post some screenshots off some games :p

p.s. finally I will be released off ATI drivers after 3 months :p

A *decent* 350W PSU should be sufficient (not a crappy one that comes with a case though) as long as you don't have lots of stuff in your comp. The 480W-thing nVidia originally stated as a requirement took into account gamers with multiple hard drives, disk drives, overclocking and such and went overboard with the requirement a bit.

I must. You don't know me, but if you divert one of those to my address I promise to remember your name a week from now. ;)

I'd say it's worth it anyway. Get a decent quality PSU, your average 350 watt will be struggling with any of the current cards + the rest of the PC anyway.

Searched your address and didn't find it, sorry, no card for you now :p

(ok the other card is for my brother ¬_¬)

A solid 350W psu is fine for the card
