Whos ditching 8800 for new rev?

Thats no better than an overclocked 8800 gts or just a tiny bit better.
I get 11061 odd with my cpu @3.2 and card bumped up you yourself beat that on an 8800 640mb.
Impressive if the card is £150 and at stock but let's see, there is allegedly an announcement at some point today.

Well, that's (obviously) a different world to what I'm getting with my 7900GTO, so if it does come out at sub £200 prices, it looks like I've just found my next stepping stone upgrade, until I can get a GeForce 9.

I do appreciate these posts, if I hadn't been doing some reading in here, I'd not even have known the 8800GT existed, let alone that it's performance seems to be good. Let's just hope the price is equally good, and I'll have one.... unless.... the refreshed 8800GTS performs considerably better, and is also priced nicely ;) Still, £200 max is what I want to spend on a stepping stone card really, just to get performance up on current games, while waiting for the next major card.
V1N.

Its going to be much cheaper though.
 
well i just fitted new seasonic psu today now just need these beautys out.
time to go mr 7600gt :( been a great little performer done me proud.
from what i seen the 256mb one will be in the 125 ish range and 512mb in the 150 range which is great performance for good money.

Can't wait to clock one of these
 
Yes but it can hit much higher clocks look at the cooling fan =it definitely runs cooler so it will beat a gtx especially if you put an aftermarket cooler on it.Even if it doesn't it will be near the gtx at a fraction the cost so glad i never bought a gtx i so nearly did recently phew.

I thought everyone had a p35/x38 by now there's still people on stoneage chipsets?
more likely that it will work on most pci-e than not i think

There are plenty on 965 as P35 offers no real performance gain in real terms other than the abilty to clock quads.

X38 is the same and offers no real speed increase over P35.

P965 stoneage? LOL.

It may be getting on a bit but I think that was a bit of an overstatement, they are still clocking up very well. I've had mine a year with a C2D @ 3.6Ghz ain't missed a beat, without a doubt the best board I've ever had :eek:
 
I was joking, as far as i was aware pci-e 2.0 is fully pci-e 1.0 compatible.This whole thing is a complete debacle it's even starting to appear for sale and still no nvidia announcement what on earth are they playing at ?.

I thought it is was 1.1 not 1.0 what is compatible with 2.0 but might be wrong.
