How Many 8800GTX Rigs Left

[Crowze]

Nothing a bit of underclocking can't solve . Still very happy with my pair of 8800GTS 640MB cards, yet to find a game that both interests me and struggles in performance.

my 8800GTX is in the next room sitting on a dusty shelf

its been replaced by a shiny new sapphire 4870X2 baby

just hope this card plays farcry 2

Does it want a friend lol, mines dying to make a new pal lol

Most people i know are staying with the 8800gtx still a great card waiting for a real reason to upgrade my gfx so im waiting for what comes out just after the i7 CPUs
Nice and cheap to get another 8800 now days 2nd hand is easy also

nVidia 8800GTX is a power inefficient BEAST!

If you enjoy paying large electricty bills then by all means keep burning your 8800GTX, if you want better gaming performance and much cheaper running costs then pick up a Radeon HD4850 and sell your circa 2006 GPU's. . .

If you don't have a GTX then what are you doing in here, get-out of this thread - GTX's only

Mines back in it's box, supplanted by a shiny new gtx280. Got it for £240. Depending on what you play, it's worth it, but I'll admit the 8800's are more than enough for most games.

Thinking about holding onto the old card as a reserve That 8800gtx was the best money I ever spent on the PC!

8800 GTX SLi here, but Im temped to upgrade to a pair of 260 in SLI

 

[PwnDirect]

260 in SLI

Thats the problem the 260 is no good as a stand alone card unlike the 4850/4870/280 & 8800 are cost wise this is ofc

Well my SLId 8800GTX OC2s are out and on the desk - my new 4870x2 should be here sometime today

I only had my GTX for about 3 weeks(got it off the MM) and its great.

I wont be upgrading for sometime.

My 8800GTX is just fine sitting and using very little electricity considering its in my rig that hasnt been turned on since June and wont be until Dec.

Can some one tell me, does the SLI flexi conector come with the card
or with a Nforce mobo.

I never got on in the box of my XFXGTX so I need to know when I go SLI

 

[toucam]

Not gaming much these days so an 8800GTX is a bit overkill for me

You should have had an sli bridge with your nforce board if you have one

How does the 8800GT compare to my old GTX? think my old GTX had 700mb?

Thanks for the info.
looking at getting a Nforce mobo.
I have a P35 DS4 atm going to sell it or swop for a Nforce.

2 x bfg 8800gtx oc2 in SLi here.

No need to upgrade just yet, although I just wish they'd allow me to use two monitors with sli enabled. I hate having to mess around when I enable it for a game, and then disable it after.

I have no plans to upgrade from my 8800GTX Plays everything fine including latest titles.

Upgrades from an 8800GTX would only benefit users of resolutions > 1900 x1200

The 8800GTX is simply the best buy ever.

indeed, having said that im playing at 1900x1200 and that works fine for me. It might run better with a new card but meh.
For a card that ive had for about 1yr and a half and still runs games perfectly fine now = Best purchase EVER !!

I'm still gobsmacked how long it has lasted.

 

[Steedie]

im still using an 8800 gtx plays everything fine. Why upgrade when theres no need too

 

[ten80p]

wow, am surprised at how many other owners their are who are also happy, thought most had jumped ship already

I've noticed the last couple of drivers have really made an improvement to smoothness and IQ, for games I always have fan at 100% and despite decent o/c it's been very stable, had some probs a couple of weeks ago when playing COD4 MP but it turned out to be punkbuster issues as well as firewall and virus config / rules etc

Recently played all three FEAR titles maxed out and it owned them
