Title: Odd triple heatsink V2 on Ebay.

Who the heck made that? Not a configuration I have seen before...

*ugh*

I actually owned a Card looking exactly like that, but I (currently) don't find it (?)

IMHO, I still should have it, but it's vanished for now *scratches head*

If it ever turns up again, I'll let you know.

- edit -
Patience was first, and now I know what to look for in my house *g*

Heh, I own TWO of these (yup it's SLI time!) ;D

BOTH of mine are boxed with original stuff (inc. demo CD in one of the boxes). ;D

Also one of my cards is in a FRENCH box! :o

Only problem was getting two of them as they are RARE! ::)

(And they STILL need a fan despite the heatsinks!) :P

I managed to purchase one on ebay from under FalconFly's nose last week, with all the retail boxed packaging and everything. ;) ;D

Paul, what's the performance like on these cards mate?;)
Kick Ass or blow? ???

You had much time to test them yet bud?

Hmm, they perform as well as any other V2. ::)

However...the best bit is the 'built in' heatsinks! ;)

This means that with a nice 80mm cooling fan and (maybe) a Zalman fan mate or pyramid fan limiter...you'll be SET! :D

Set for what? ???

For REALLY smooth 1024x768 GLiDE gaming! ;D

I've tested these cards in SLI and they run nice and smooth playing UT, Unreal and Return to Na Pali! ;D

(which, let's face it was what the V2 was INVEVTED for, mwahahahaha!) ;) :D ;D

==edit==

Forgot to say that mine are currently idling in their boxes at the moment (my new mobo is NFORCE2 400 ULTRA, so no V2's allowed!) :'(

Also, it's quite hard to get a matching pair of these (took me about 6 months to find the second one...) :o

You're right about the Unreal games, it really does bring out the true colours of the V2. ;)

Shame to hear about the V2's not in action. How come? What is with the nForce2? No compatibility with the mobo (different PCI bus?), no room to fit them? ???
