This pradeep guy is really a big bloodsucker.I have been to his shop in Chennai and he will always try to push stagnating products down your throat or try to sell you products by quoting some flashy technical terms even he does not understands. Guys, please be aware of him, he is on hell of a sleazy business man. Beware! you have been warned.

Lol why don't you guys test this card with the latest games.Coz what I have heard is all the cards till date are brought down to their knees by the game "Crysis".So buying this card for the future is useless.

yeah but dont worry... crysis is unique... not many games for the near future is goin to be like Crysis. Unless someone buys the license for the very expensive engine... so this card still makes sense...

Yes, G92 is the core not the card. We did goof up a bit with the words. Thanks for bringing it to our notice.

Please provide a contact information where this product can be purchased from. The Nvidia India site's "buy" link redirects to Indian distributors who sell only third party cards based on the Nvidia chips. I am looking for this card originally manufactured by Nvidia.

this review is pathetic, u guyz didn't mention about how hot it gets when its OCed, and its a good OCer too, as karim said nvidia should have gone with dual slot cooler for this. OMG, G92 is know as 8800GT, rofl, where do u guyz keep ur brain while writing the review. for its price , this card rocks :)

a. G92 is not called 8800gt. g92 is just the gpu. the card is the 8800gt. g92 is going to be put on the gts later, maybe q1 2008. also this card is not a poor overclocker. i have two of these and without oc, i can do 15000 3d marks. but with oc i can breach a stable 18000. the only catch is their largely vented thin form cooling is not oc favorable. attach the card to a liquid cooled setup u can easily oc like mad.
