8600GT just arrived

[pegasus1]

Ive bought this for my sons PC to replace the 7800gtx thats gone to meet its maker.
I'm going to stick it in my rig and compare it with my 8800gtx.
Il run 3D Mark 03/05 and bench COH and run FRAPS on GTR2 at 1280x1024 and 1600/1200 with low med and high AA.

Rather than post the various scores, i will show the difference between the cards as a percentage.
This will stop people cluttering up the post with "my 8800gxt scores more than that" comments.
I'l get the 8800gtx benchies done tonight and probably the other card tomorrow.

Make a video about it and post it on youtube.

You have to.. you just bought the best card in the known universe!

I hope that wasnt sarcasm.
And we all know that the 8800gtx is the best card in the whole universe

 

[Crowze]

Surely you mean you hope it was sarcasm? Or were you being sarcastic as well?

 

[bfar]

if you play Quake 4 you'll be really pleased with your new card.

You'll get great frames to blast those muthas away.

Like i said its not for me but as ive had it delivered here and i wont be back home for over a week i thought id see what it will clock to and how it will run compared to my 8800gtx.
Q4 played well on my 7800gtx at 1600x1200.
