What does everyone use to show off their 8800 to their wife/girlfriend/mother/imaginary friend who doesn't get why you spent all this money?

I point to my TFT then to the Window in my room, and then shout "it's real I tell thee!!!! REAL!!!"

Lol but serious, I think the only way to really really really show people will be with Crysis. I think that will just blow everything else away. Do you remember how good FarCry looks with the mountains and ocean (still does look good) I think it'll be like that but even better.

True, true. I'm putting FEAR on my new build as I type, hopefully that will impress

I too will be joining the G80 club soon, probably mid March (when I have saved enough)

I am looking forward to comparing its benchmark results to my Vanilla 6800

I will be purchasing an 8800 GTS

That's the route I went. There is a big change in benchmarks, but bigger change in games. 60 fps minimum frame rate in FEAR, at 1280 x 1024, with everything max.

3d mark 03 hit 999fps at one point, I nearly fell of my chair :eek:

The 8800GTS/GTX can also use NGO optimized driver from http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=1556

I've been running it since yesterday and it's based on 97.92....but also enables the old control panel again

Why of course m8......all G80 owners welcome

The more the merrier I say

This was about the time I started to develop E-PENIS

I had to re-stance in order to take this pic, my trousers were getting to tight

Then I run 3D mark on my X2-4400 rig and had to amputate a leg

9757 http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm06=1031231

So I run '06 on my AM² rig at 2500mhz....with full AA&AF, full QUALITY and at 1600x1200

I like GAINWARD very much.....I only got an ASUS due to circumstances.

My GAINWARD 7800GTX GOLDEN SAMPLE is a great card....clocks like a Seiko and is even more reliable. Not a single problem in over a years use

Mr_T · 24 Jan 2007 at 13:42

Cool, good to know... is all the talk of black pcb only an image thing.. or is a black pcb a more recent version?

Not that I know of....that would be manufacturer dependant. I could be wrong though.

My ASUS EN8800GTS is over 8-9weeks old.

Like I say I ain't sure though.

lay-z-boy · 24 Jan 2007 at 14:10

Cant go sli now due to fear of green pcb
