8800gtx?

dazftw

Does it matter if I went and bought the cheapest one?

Theres a club 3D on komplett for €550 but the point of view which I would rather cause I feel the brand is more well known for €627

Its a stupid reason I know but I want to be sure cause if there going be exact same ill go for cheaper one!

Thanks

awhir

all the same man just diffrent games and suf come with them.

dazftw

I thought that I was 90% sure just theres this guy on youtube had the Club 3d and was like it didnt work and he had to send it back...

Honestly I didnt think it fitted in his case and he didnt wana sound stupid

Thanks anyways (Y)

lol only came back to this now... yea I was going to buy one but there out of stock of them on komplett so its either going to be a point of view one or an XFX on..

I might go XFX

christophicus

If you go xfx and it is not one of the pre-overclocked cards then keep in mind you may not get very good everclocks from it seeing as they keep the good components for the preoverclocked cards.

dazftw

Its an overclocked one... I think?

The memory clock is 1.9Ghz afaik all the stock ones are 1.6!

I ordered this card yesterday... So thats it.. all parts bought now lol.. Just to wait for them to come to my house

Im going post a picture of all the boxes I have lol stacked up in my kitchen..

IF your confident enough with the system u should go get an 8800GTX off ebay - they usually go for around 350-450 Euro for decent models

dazftw

I already got it lol 627 I think... weeks wages... worth it...? I don't know yet haha

Hercule

"worth it is quite a relative term in this case - u buy every major graphics heavy game for the next year tho and you will get good value out of a 600 yoyo GTX a real shame wud be to buy it and not use it a lot

dazftw

Yea im going use it... Ive about 7 new games sitting on my desk at home waiting to be laughed at by the GTX lol

The main reason im spending so much on the pc.. for gaming, nearly €2500 now...

christophicus

Man you lucky bastard!!!! i'd love that rig!!

Worth it? Oh yes

TerrorFirmer

Ah right, sorry for some reason I thought you were 16...never mind then, and enjoy the 8800gtx...you bastard

I can barely scrape together enough money for a gts...:(

christophicus

O poor HavoK he can only aford a 8800GTS!!!!!

dazftw

lol.. I have everything built now and im waiting for GTX to arrive so I can have picture.. everything comes on just no picture :P

dazftw

christophicus

GRRRRR I hate you !!!!!!! :P

dazftw

were going way off topic but sure what harm ill take loads of pictures after food and make a post about it in building and upgrading...:)

christophicus

Cool, I'll look forward to seeing it. Especially when the Graphics card is in!!

Sorry mods for going ot.

TerrorFirmer

Do you not even have a pci old graphics card to test it out? That'd drive me insane...

also, looks like there'll be no 8800 at all for havok as have to fork out for several different holidays coming up. I swapped my x1950pro for a 7900gs + 60 so that'll have to do for the next few months I think...

dazftw

No I dont its annoying.. Ive went from agp to pci-e lol

It would be handy to have an old crap on so I can update everything!

The 8800 gtx's Are Great peices of technolagy, but from what ive heard they dont run well with Xp nor have much games worked Well on it.


Its an x10 so why not buy a nice 7950 for now and wait till the gaming industry catches up with Nvidea ( So we wont be left playing ****ty games that take graphics cards to the limit i.e "Dark Messiah Might and magic"

Also from a friend , we compaired my x9 to x10 8800 gtx

and the frame rate seemed just as much and just as smooth.

So im going to wait for The gaming industry.
