hmm good question, I have had a member ship running there also, but I never could find that site anymore, that was the ultimate resource for the Volari people.

How are the XGI's cards in games? Noticed that alot of you guys have either posted about having them or wondering about them like Garry was with the Dual 8 series. Just wondering about games like CoD2, Half Life 2, AA, Farcry, Splinter Cell. Just wondering how it handles some of these games and what card your actually using from XGI.

hmm interesting indeed, here a XGI Volari Duo V8 DDR with a different cooling Thandor:

on the left ABiT Volari Duo V8 ULTRA , on right Volari V8 Ultra, they have a red brown like PCB :)

The Volari Duo V8 Ultra with DDRII has a green PCB:

and the Volari Duo V8 Ultra with DDR has the black PCB!!! Which is your Card Thandor ;)

here the Power Color DDRII version of the Volari Duo V8 Ultra also that green PCB again:

here a pic of the Volari Duo V5, don't see any difference with the Volari Duo V8 U DDR though:

and here the Volari Duo V5 Ultra ;) and yes a green PCB it's non ultra version has the black PCB:

Thanks Thandor, I seen the first one at a Micro Center where I live. No other stores have carried any models from XGI before so I thought I'd ask about them. I don't remember what one it was just remember seeing it and going "Wow, finally another card on the self." Just wanted to see what they were like first hand before potentionally getting one.

Hmm dunno what your problem is but all pictures works perfectly here lol ::) ::)

hmm okay do you have a link from where you got that info?

I'm not so sure that PCB colour does tell the dif. from what is DDR or DDR II , but where does it say that it doesn't?

haha lol I posted them with my Laptop and now I'm, on my AthlonXP 2700+ lol rather a different PC if you'd ask me, smartypants :-X anyways I posted them yesterday, so even then they should work.

ohwell it's that I use Mozilla FireFox, might be some thing IE does not like lol. Oh well What ever.

I do recall that the Volari Duo V5 Ultra had Aluminium Cooling though
