Been looking around and the 8800 series is supposed to be released later this week but just wanted to know whether this was a world wide release or does anyone know how long it'll take them to get to South Africa?

Thanx in advance

It's 8800GTS :)
8800GTX will be available with no hiccups :)
 
I hope all you chaps eyeing this card have Core 2 Extremes to run it properly and not those crappy Athlon's FX's or P4's :).
 
Erm... no AMD bashing allowed. That was totally out of line tibby.

The FX's will surely be fine for this card, those are damn powerful processors. Totally agree on the P4 though.
 
My AMD rocks with with my 7600GT, last lan i was at beat 5 other pc's in bench mark 2003, and all the other pc's wher INTEL! from a Server Board 2.8ghz to a 3.6ghz P4 :P

Go AMD! :)
 
Erm you'll hold on.
I've tested both 8800GTS and 8800GTX on a Core2Extreme @ 3.9GHz, Core2Quad @ 3.3GHz and on an AthlonFX62 @ 3GHz.

All! Yes All! These CPU's are not capable of bringing even the 8800GTS to it's knees. Yes the Intel's score higher in the 3DMarks and what not, but surprisingly enough the AMD does better in Fear. 59fps vs 55!
;)
 
The 8800's are going to be quite tough to get hold of. We had some on pre-order, but a few of the guys have now recalled some of the cards...so now we have to wait and see...

If you manage to find one on any site in the USA, let me know and we'll add them to the site.

With a bit of luck you should be able to be one of the first guys in SA with the card ;)
 
I'm a little in the dark here, what this with the processors keeping up with the card or something? I'm confused :confused:
