9800gx

[Zulash]

So do any of you have one of these beasts yet? I have gotten to the point of meltdown with my 8600 now so I'm really considering going for the 9800GTX.

Just want your opinions on it ...and If any of you can hook me up with a sick deal hit me up

 

[The_Techie]

Do you mean the 9800GX2?

 

[killadoob]

9800gtx or gx2

cause i got a sick deal on 9800gx2's

 

[Zulash]

BOTH! =) But im leaning more towards the GTX because I dont have seven grand to fork out on a new gfx card

check out prophecy.co.za

they have one for 3999

if thats out of your budget you could always go for 8800gt 9600gt both solid good performing cards and they will make that 8600 look 5 years old

gaming at 1680 x 1050 on 8600 ahhhhhhhhhhh i would blow my mind haha

another two or three months and the pain will be over its gonna be 9800 all the way...which 9800 card I buy depends entirely if I can get a new job..or a second one

I'm not buying a x600 card again for as long as I live

If I was clever enough to buy a 8800 this wouldn't be happening.

The 9800GTX ia hardly faster than a G92 8800GTS 512MB
Its also quite a bit more expensive, I personally would go in the dir of the 8800GTS. In general it also OC's better too.

 

[Zulash]

well - im speaking to a friend tomorrow who might be able to get me a GTX for about R1,700.00 to R2,000.00 - I'll let you guys know how it feels to go from a crappie x600 series to this

lol Crysis on a 6600 AGP
800x600 all low and played at about 20fps was not too bad IMO tried some medium settings but PC would just reset

Still went from 6600AGP to G31 intergrated graphics can only play GTA:SA at 800x600 lowest settings!
probably going to pop a 8600GT in at a later stage, don't care much anymore for Graphics, it's all about playablity

 

[Zulash]

lol how long does it take for you to mod your weps in crysis with that kind of card?
