Crysis for one eats my 640mb card clocked to 650/2000 @ 1680-1050.Yes there's a new revision of GTS GTX coming.
None of this matters as you say your bro is getting the gts so just hang in there for monday see if all the hype holds water if it does i can't see the gtx staying at it's current price levels.

what ave ati coming up in the next period, would be interesting to see what they bring to the graphics card scene, ive only ever owned nvidia cards (have an old download box using a gf4 ti 4800se agp) thats how long ive used nvidia lol i have always avoided ati because iv been told they run a lot louder and hotter than nvidia cards

Ohh that card look awsome!, shame you'll probs pay full amount for that game in it, I hope OcUK or some other retailers have some with there own brand and as said at £140.

Can someone link me to a post where Gibbo stated how much the 8800gt will cost?

Mmmm, Very tempted to replace my 8800GTS with ones of these

willhub · 27 Oct 2007 at 14:19

£130 inc VAT for the OcUK one, thats very good, I'm thinking of getting one around the £140-£150 price range providing that they come with more stuff than the OcUK one, if not then OcUK one will be best and hopefully these will overclock nicely

a lot of the time it works out cheaper to sell your card and buy a new one rather than the "step up" programme i believe

Definitely as EVGA use their RRP price of the new card less the "discounted" price of what you paid for your donor card.

Only worth it probably if you bought your GTX from EVGA direct in the first place?

For example. Say you got your EVGA GTX fro £350 from ocuk and it was £450 on EVGA website. When the new card comes out and it's £350 again from ocuk, it will be £450 from EVGA so you will have to pay £450-£350 = £100 for the step up.

Another downside is you have to send them your card first and it's two weeks plus for your replacement.

Me too, running x1900xt now. Wish I held onto it for one more day, Crysis demo looks crappy now

Troop · 27 Oct 2007 at 16:52

Thought there would be more leaked reports on the 8800GT by now, they are very thin on the ground

Yeah, very bad timing since ive waited for so long for the Demo

If heard the Demo runs bad on very high on the GTX so I might wait until i've got a 9800 before playing it so I can see it in its full glory. Trying to avoid spoilers until then might be too hard though.

Things change I've changed · 27 Oct 2007 at 17:23

I still don't know what to do

, if I sell my GTX I want to upgrade to a faster card so theres no point buying the GT, the only card I think I would be interested in is the new revision of the GTX but I can't be without a decent gpu for that long

, this is complete conjecture but going on the current posted results of the GT the new revision of the GTX should be at least 20% faster than the current gen GTX's, ARGHHHHHHHH what to do,

is there no info anywhere regarding the new GTX's ?, any idea of a release date ?, are they definitely 100% doing a new revision of the GTX ?

Devious · 27 Oct 2007 at 17:30

im tempted to try SLI'd GT's for the roughly same price as my GTX, SLi's GT are getting 18k+ on 3D06 at stock with a Q6600 @ 3.6. I would have to change my mobo though for a rev A1 680i

Sir Random · 27 Oct 2007 at 17:33

It looks like a great card performance-wise, but I don't see the logic in using a noisy single-slot cooler instead of sticking with the proven silent dual-slot design.
Most modern mobos have a tiny PCI-Ex4 slot beside the primary gfx card slot, so I don't think a dual-slot design would have put anyone off buying it (except maybe shuttle owners).

Zalman, Arctic Cooling, etc., must be delighted, since the 8800 range hasn't been great for the after-market cooling companies so far.

Lol, funny how the GTX owners, selling theirs to get the GT

Yeah, i wonder which will be the cooler to 'have' for the 8800GT.

Yeah, i cant remember anything like this before, history would tell us we would normally be selling our GTX's ready for the 9800's

Well I certainly won't be switching to a GT, or even a revised GTX. I like a noticable jump in performance when I upgrade, so it'll be next-gen for me.
