Biostar recently launched a VGA business, with a special card series called V-Ranger. We recently had the pleasure to review one of these boards that offer incredible overclocking headroom and software based voltage control. Even though there were no new V-Ranger models at CeBIT we got confirmation that Biostar is looking into expanding their V-Ranger to more powerful cards as well. The only thing holding them back right now is NVIDIA, who are not opening the design of the 8800 GTX/GTS cards yet, so manufacturers can't make changes to the PCB. Hopefully this changes soon. Future products like G84 and G86 will see a V-Ranger version much faster, because traditionally NVIDIA is more comfortable with opening those designs shortly after the launch.
