Does my 8800GTS 512 G92 fan blows air out or sucking air in? I know its very retarded but I couldn't find anything on the box or on google... If it blows air out does it over heat my gfx because my card is upside down.

It blows the hot air out the back, and out of the case. Much better than the 8800GT which recirculates. To prove it to yourself, dangle a piece of tissue near the exit slot and see which way it moves.

Physical orientation of the card will not affect airflow. :)

So the big fan on the card suck air in and blow it out of the back?

Air comes out on the side where you connect the monitor and all.

Always.

You can use Rivatuner to speed the fan up if you want.
