Has ATI given up the high end race?

Ive been with Nvidia for the last few generations of cards, and I can easily say with confidence that ATI is doing the right thing. There is no place for $600 + cards when a card at $400-$450 (9800GX2) can perform the same or better. The GTX280 is a big ugly chip, they need to shrink it and...

Geforce 9600 GSO

Well the 9600 GSO on newegg (EVGA brand) has a higher core clock, better cooler and faster memory than regular 8800GS cards. It is most likely faster or just as fast as a stock 9600GT, at least at 1280x1024 ish resolutions.

Radeon HD 3800s to be cheaper than 8800 GTs?

price/performance is big to me. I'll just have to wait till the new ATI card comes out in a few weeks to see what it offers.

Who else thinks the 8800GT sucks?

You sound like a financially rich person......the fastest consumer videocard you can buy today is the 8800 ultra, so if you don't like the performance of the 8800GT, which is better than the GTS, leaves the 2900XT in the dust and just about kissing the GTX's behind............then go SLI or quad...

8800GT Review(s) - (18 and counting)

So glad I never buy those $500 video cards when months later you can get better cards at half the price.

8800GT (G92) vs. HD38xx (RV670)

Whichever has the best price/performance which includes overclocking ability as well. I dont think RV670 will be under $199 like the 8800GT 256MB is supposed to debut at, so right now im leaning towards nvida.

Upgrade question 7900GS

Just wait for the 8800GT to release at end of this month. Rumors have it starting at $179-$199 for 256mb version. And you can sell the 7900GS on ebay for at least $60+ to help pay for it. You will get double the performance of your card now and DX10. Hope that helps.

G92 launch this month!

Everyone needs at least a 8800GTS 640? For what? Many games that people play day in and out are perfectly playable with 7800/7900 series cards that were released 2 years ago at moderate resolutions. Not everyone is playing on huge 30 inch monitors at 1920x1200. I'm still on a 17 inch monitor...

8800 GT INFO / Updates in bold / MUST READ OP AND SEE LINKS FOR BENCHMARK PICS

I think that is going to be the case. 112sp vs 96sp and 65nm vs 90nm manufacturing process will most likely give 8800GT and it's standard 600 core clock A LOT of head room. At least that is my hope!!!

You and me both my friend. I have no problem selling off my 7900GS to help pay for this bad boy if those prices are correct. I would easily get at least 2x the performance and DX10 isn't too bad either :D

AT Barcelona previews are up

I think in the most important area to me (gaming, duh) 16% and 21% faster in oblivion and HL2 is a pretty big jump. The chips will be competitive with Intel chips, which will cause more price wars and quad cores to become more inexpensive shortly. Everyone wins.

System can't hold an OC anymore...wtf?

Just to state my setup, I have to run 1.45 cpu volts to get to 2.8Ghz, and my RAM has to be raised to 2.1 from 1.95 to run orthos stable. If the only thing you changed was the bios, I would go back to the older bios. EDIT: Nevermind, I see you tried that already

To AMD or Not AMD that is the question

Well, the Pentium E series core 2 chips are severely starving for cache, it only has 25% of the cache of the conroe 4mb chips, and it shows during gaming BIG time. So, if you want to be the cheapest bastard you can be (like me), I recommend the X2 3600 and Biostar Tforce 550 motherboard...
