First off I am not sure when I will be doing this, so this is just to see if anybody is interested.
I figure there are probably a few of you out there who are wanting to play S2, and you may not be able to play it very well due to a slow videocard in your computer. Well I am going to be upgrading my videocards here somewhat soon, probably in Aug or so when the next card I want comes out, so this should be before S2 comes out in Sept.
I have two of the cards in my computer right now, but currently I will only be selling one on here since I may be selling the other to somebody out here, or I may keep it for a spare computer.
Anyway though the card is the nVidia 8800GTS. If anybody knows anything about them then this is the older model that has 640 megs of ram. This is the particular card here....

The card comes already overclocked, which means it runs faster than a standard one, and I have overclocked it much farther myself. The normal card has clocks of 550Mhz (Core), 1300Mhz (Shaders), and 1600Mhz (Memory), and I have clocked mine at 635Mhz (Core), 1432Mhz (Shaders), and 2034Mhz (Memory). Those probably do not mean much to most of you, but it just means it runs faster basically.
I have upgraded the cooling on the card as well, so it wont look like it does in the picture on the manufacturers site. The cooler I put on it is the Arctic Cooling Accelero Xtreme 8800 seen here,

Lastly I put better thermal grease, called OCZ Freeze, on the main chip, which is here,

So again, this is simply to see if anybody is interested since I figure I should ask people around here first so they do not miss out on the game. If anybody is interested let me know and we can figure something out. I do not have a price in mind yet, but what I normally do is what I call my friend discount. I will go on eBay and look for the thing I am selling and cut the price in half. It will be a little more than that this time though, but that is just because the extra cooling on it is around 50 itself. If anybody wants more info, such as temperatures, or benchmarks, let me know.
