    Never mind about the two pin cable, I figured it out. It is a SPDIF cable to feed audio from your MB to your gfx cards HDMI out.

    Nice. I almost ordered a 9600GT, but for less money, I got an 8800GT. Should arrive today.

    Yeah, I got a 9800 GTX ($170 USD) and I'm using the same drivers.

    I had issues with the Envy install on x64. So I did it manually, and it runs great.

    The 8800GT is more expensive than the 9600GT by a significant margin over here.

    That's what I thought but I'm going to have to find a silent cooling solution for this card. My old Gigabyte 6600 used silent pipe technology.I hate fan noise

    Lucky bugger on the 9800GTX.

    I use Arch so I just install the beta drivers from AUR which is pretty easy.

    Going from a plain 6600 to a 9600GT is a huge improvement for me

    8500GT = 9400 series
    8600GT = 9500 series
    8800GT = IDENTICAL to 9800GT
    8800GTS 512mb = 9800GTX & 9800GTX+ (9800GTX+ pulls away slightly)
    8800GTX = 9800GTX (8800GTX wins with lots of AA or ultra high res, 9800GTX wins with more shading going on.
