looking at your sig i find it hard to make a reply.

Dicehunter · 11 Jul 2007 at 23:14

I shall take that as a complement

Im making my girlfriend a really great gaming pc for xmas and i want it to be perfect.

Cyber-Mav · 11 Jul 2007 at 23:17

8800ultra all the way

Gonzo0 · 11 Jul 2007 at 23:17

Your giving a woman a more powerful card than you..... :confused:

The day a woman has a faster pc than me is the day the earth stops spinning :rolleyes:

ok mate, the 8800 Ultra....i'd give her then 2900 tbh

If you really want Ultimate Power then (ignoring multiple card solutions) the 8800ultra beats them both

However if this is a xmas present you would be much better off waiting 5 months. By then prices will have fallen and new, faster hardware may be available.

btw what kind of games does she play? girls only seem to like "god" games lol

2nd in line.

Oh and GTX is faster than the x2900xt, and a 8800Ultra is faster than both.

Why? He would have missed it by then.

Darg · 12 Jul 2007 at 10:53

Damn... and I thought you were going to be recruiting evil henchmen!

8800Ultra is the best performer. But bang for buck 2900XT all the way.

As it's a christmas present then we can't really tell you what to get until you order it in november. There'll be newer better cards and the current ones will have dropped a chunk in price.

My wife (when she was my g/f) started playing WoW just to spend time with me (on my PC!), as I played it way to often. I stopped playing WoW about a year or year and a half ago as it was becoming daft with the time spent on there. She still goes no about how she wants to play it though lol.

I bought an xbox for her as she expressed interest in one, but she doesn't even play on it.

What sort of gamer is she really? Does she REALLY care about quality graphics etc? Maybe you should just buy her some flowers and treat her more often mate. Be more romantic than buying a PC (like treat her to a weekend away somewhere).
