Help me find a EVGA e-GeForce 8800 GTX w/ ACS3

looks like your out of luck and the only way to get the ACS3 is to get the overclocked version. it looks as though evga found out how good their ACS3 cooling was and deciding that if there going to sell it they should take advantage and give it a higher overclock too...

there e399 before vat

Thats the OC'ed version.  

evga doesn't make a non oc'd acs3 version, but what's so bad about the oc? All it does is increase performance by a large level for the 8800gtx due to all the pipelines it has, and it's covered under evga's warranty since they oc'd it themselves

The difference is £69 more for something I could do myself. In the review they had a 575mhz version with that cooler.

maybe, but it runs a lot quiter and cooler too. Not to mention, one site got the core to a massive 675mhz with the acs3, but the sparkle took the crown for memory at 2100mhz or so. If you don't think it's worth the money, that's up to you, but on evga's site, the difference between that and the superclocked was minimal a few weeks ago (like $10 USD)

I live in the UK. Where they cost alot more.

hmm, I checked ebay, and they only had more expensive acs3's and the prices were higher for the regular gtx's too. Not sure what you can do except buy a regular 8800gtx, then trade it with some fool for an acs3 version after you tell him that yours is better because it comes with the a free sticker on it :roll:

Looks like im not gonna find one. Thanks for you help anyway.

I don't see why you don't want the oc'd version, but I'm sorry if you can't get one

I would love one but I can't afford it. Its £69 or $135.116 more for the over-clocked one and I dont really want one off E-bay

wow, that's a big difference compared to in the us, here the difference is only something like $50 USD. I say just get the regular evga gtx with the $40 rebate (might be in us only though) and enjoy it after you oc'd it to the same speeds and simply put a case fan next to it like a friend of mine did to keep the fan on it silent and happy
