You're wasting your time. None of the 8800 owners want to believe that they wasted their money, regardless whether they did or didn't.
All that will happen is you'll get called jealous and a troll.
They also all seem to know how much money you have, apparently if you don't buy G80 it's clearly because you can't afford it.
It's easier to just pity them for wasting their money. They're ruining it for everyone else too, whilst they keep blowing £££ into nVidia's coffers, the prices will keep going up.
Makes you wonder how expensive the G80 would have to be before common sense kicked in.
WHAT ????
I just can't comprehend why on earth there are so many people that are moaning about why others wish to own this card, WHY? I've never seen this before on a graphics card release, ok we've always had the odd moaner but never to this volume, EVER, and I’ve been avidly following graphics card releases since the voodoo1, now since then every time a new graphics card is released everyone is interested to see how it performs, if it performs well then usually most commend the card and it becomes an object of desire,
Then another card comes out that runs faster and then that becomes that next best thing and so on and so forth, I mean you can't condemn someone for wanting something that performs better than another card in your chosen field of entertainment, so why is this so different than any other graphics card release? Could someone explain that to me please, this card cost me £500 yes, but it really has taken my gaming experience on the pc to a whole new level.
You see, whats confuseing me is that for years everyones allways wanted a really fast graphics card (I mean who does'nt honestly want their games to run very smoothly) and there have been many times when even owning the fasted graphics card and cpu etc, their system would still not be able to handle new game releases at maxium detail settings, I know this because on a few occasations I have owned pretty much the fasted systems out over the years and have been very disapointed that they could not run these new games at a very smooth frame rates maxed out, and I'd like to point out that most of these past systems cost well over a thousand pounds,
Today you can have the following from OcUk for example
,
Thats 1400 pounds for an emense system that will play ANY GAME currently out @ very smooth frame rates maxed out in every aspect and that's running them on a 22" widescreen @ a respectable 1680x1050, now I've paid this amount of money for system builds in the past and more, and never have I had a system like my current one that could run games that are avalible @ the time of the system build as well as mine does, and never have I got such good value for money, remember it was only a decade ago it would nearly cost you a couple of grand for a top of the range office pc.
yet still we have people on here moaning that it's not worth it
