haha, well it seems unanimous. Ya, i'm gonna bench them. I probably would have without asking, but the push from you guys always helps.

Oh, and the card i thought was an 8600gt actually is a 9800gt ee (once i pulled it out i obviously saw what it was).
What should be the highest mV i should push the 295 on air?
@Halo: I get the cards as long as i take to fix up the systems. I worked on them today, and both seem to have bad PSU's, but i think i'll wait a week or two to tell my family friend.
@reggie: i wish i could throw them under some DICE. But i have no gpu pot.

I'm still looking for a cheap one. *cough*Nate*cough*
