8800GT Ramblings Thread

Well, its certainly going to up the number of hits on the site :)

Where if people knew it would be at 2pm, then most would just come to the site then. Now people are going to be refreshing constantly
 
Well I guess we'll see as the day progresses.

First shop to get it up (decent manufacturer and good price) gets the money.
 
Nice to see at stock that it has only 3% less raw power than the GTX. The BFG and EVGA pre-oc cards at 700Mhz will have 13% more performance than a stock GTX albeit with 10% less memory bandwidth and 256Mb less memory.

SHould put it up on par with a stock Ultra???????

Imagine what the new GTS and GTX versions are going to be like? Maybe everybody by xmas will be able to run Crysis on very high settings?
 
Oh the GTS 2nd hand prices are going to drop like a stone.

And after the 12th when the new Ultra beating GTS comes out and if they keep the GTS current prices then GTX cards will plummet as well.
 
Got about 5 e-tailers sites open with search done, which I keep refreshing...

I feel like a sad ******* right now. Oh well, guess I am looking forward to gaving a quad core... (by selling GTx and getting this and Q6600)

No swearing, JG
 
I was surprised how well the 2900xt was holding up and notably thrashing the GTS when using AA and AF lol. Was very surpised how well it did on Crysis as well.

The GT certainly looks to be an impressive card though given the MUCH more sensible price range :) THG (US site) mentioned the lack of overclocking (only 680Mhz on core), but this may be down to reduced voltage (lets get flashing) and the lack of a decent cooler (cost cutting?).

Yeah - similar here:D

8600gt's keep making my heart jump.

Going to get really sick of this in a few hours.
 
[TW] FOX > And I believe you need to reduce yours to only 1 line below you image, perhaps it would be better as:
C2D@3Ghz|4Gb OCZ Platinum|BFG 8800GTS OC|Abit IP35 Pro

:p

Oh, hi from Plymouth as well :D (although living out Tavistock way nowadays).
