My Asus board is revision 1.01 as seen here in the upper right hand corner.

The heatsinks fall off, the asus forums are full of complaints.

I can't seem to locate this card, revision 1.02

All the sites that advertise the card have that picture, but when you ask them what rev it is, they say 1.01 with the 2 heatsinks.

does, it really matter what 6800GT you get?

Well, they are getting hard to find and I have a short compatibility list from nvidia's sli zone site.

The Asus card seems to be the only one availible for me to run with my other 6800GT, but as you can see in the pics, the rev 1.01 board has problems.
It's a cheaper board that runs hot and the heatsinks fall off.

So YEAH, it DOES matter which one I get.

It's all over Asus's forum.
