This is the main reason I subscribed to this website! I love you're video card reviews because they are so in depth! I'm glad to hear ATI is finally pulling ahead again but for how long?? How does using a nforce chipset with sli effect using the ATI Video cards? (I do understand that for the purpose of benchmarking it doesn't matter) I'm just wondering what the best motherboard to pair up with these cards would be.

Thanks!!

**Also, What are your thoughts on after market non-liquid cooling systems for these cards??!!

Thanks again!!!!

Hello,

Thanks for the compliment.

In our reviews we used a nVidia-based motherboard... ;-)

As for the cooling solutions, we should wait a couple of weeks to hear something from the cooler manufacturers... Basides Asetek CoolIT also launched a water-cooling solution for it.

Cheers,
Gabriel.

Can you make another Benchmark for the latest high-end video cards

? but this time please include all the current upgrades and driver updates for them, specially the Cuda PhysX for Nvidia video cards.

I'm just curious how much score and performance can it add-up to the Benchmarks and current high-end games.

Hello,

I am only one and unfortunately I have far more stuff to do right now.

Because of that it isn't our policy to re-do reviews. We only redo reviews when they are wrong, which isn't the case.

I hope you'll understand.

Cheers,
Gabriel.
