I just got this card and it has a nice little feature on it that I hadn't seen before, an Open Bios. It's an AOpen Afterburner Deluxe with TV-out. I don't think that it is all that useful but it is still a pretty nice feature to have nonetheless. It also came with an easy to use overclocking and monitoring utility to use in windows without having to use PowerStrip. Using default cooling I can get it to to o/c to 225 core and 393 memory. Not too bad getting PRO like settings with a GTS. Too bad it's only a 32 megger so it still suffers from the bandwidth limitations.

what do you mean open bios?
I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain

Sorry should have been a little clearer. The Open Bios that comes with it allows you to monitor, o/c and adjust the voltage in the bios whereas the Elsa that I had had a closed bios where you just saw the bios screen flash and couldn't get into it. Basically it's like the softmenu option on Abit mobos.
