So it looks like the new "Beast" is just two 8800GTS bolted together then?



Maybe they just aren't too keen to rush out their next monster yet because ATi aren't really pressuring them in the performance stakes at the moment.

Dont you mean 2 8800GTS bolted together.

Edited.

Plus we already knew that.

So Sorry.

Andy, Andy, Andy .

Yes, Yes, Yes?

nice to hear something different from...

WTF is that all about? Could you translate please?

 

[AndyOcUK]

I was just saying it but meant in a patronizing way because this is old news. (Just having a laugh though )

You gonna get one then? Wonder if they will be mobile GPU's like the original GX2?

 

[AndyOcUK]

Possibly. In the article on vr-zone about the new drivers there's a list at the end of supported hardware.

'G92 8800M GTS' and 'G92 8800M GTX'!

Same cooling issue as last time then - It was only the mobile 7900GTX's they could keep cool when sandwiched so close together

The 8800M GTX looked pretty sweet running Crysis on a Laptop in CES 2008 and that was just one of them (I think ).

Andy, you never answered my last post?.

There's nowt that can touch a top end 8800 card at the moment so I wouldn't consider AMD/ATi at the moment. If I'm honest, I wouldn't touch a GX2 with a barge pole anyway, I'd wait until the next "True" GPU is released (i.e. not two current/ old GPU's bolted together.

My GTX goes like a stabbed rat anyway so there won't be any upgrades until something signoficant is released.

 

[AndyOcUK]

Andy you could just have looked at the one Gibbo has...

Already have

Shirley a G92 8800GTX would be an improvement on the current GTX going on the performance of the GT?

Firstly, don't call me Shirley (Or did you mean "Surely")

Yeah it will be quicker than one GTX (a GX2 G92) but, for heavens sake, I'm running CS Source, Far Cry, Doom 3, Quake 4 etc at 1680 X 1050, maxed out at well over 100FPS.

COD 4 runs sweet as a nut maxed out and I'm running Crysis on very high apart from 4 settings I run on high. Avg 29FPS.

By definition, an upgrade would add benefits in one way or another - The new GX2 will not benefit me in anyway cos my screen won't push it hard enough and my wife to be will surgically remove my testicles with a blunt spoon for blowing what will probably be £600 of our upcoming wedding fund

Unless you run a 52" + screen and want all the AF and AA turned up, buying one of these cards would be the equivalent of buying a 250MPH Ferrari when you live on an island thats only 1/4 a mile long with one road!!
