Nvidia NX8800GTX

[WebhostingTalk]

Hi guys

I am looking into buying this card. Is it true that it already supports Dx10?
Can get it for R6570 is that a good price?

Thanks in advance

It does indeed support DX10.

Its a OK price, you can get a XFX 8800GTX 768MB 384Bit DDR3 for R5700 (incl VAT) at http://www.pcinternational.co.za/components.asp though, they so cheap because they import direct themselves.

Got my XFX 8800 GTX yesterday.

PLEASE NOTE: Nvidia are still in a beta of the driver for this card. according to http://winqual.microsoft.com/HCL - miscrosofts hardware list the 8800GTX is not supported out of the box, so at first you get a "Standard VGA adapter".

So looks like i will be waiting till they release drivers for vista

They have got drivers for Vista, i have it installed and it seams to run fine, no problems.

I think a 8800GTX without a fully optimised driver will still kick any other graphics card @ss.

So tell me how does it run? WOW or just Avarage

Query on Geforce 8800GTS XFX

Hey guys,

Just want to know what your opinion on the whole Vista system with these new cards that are apparently the only ones supporting DirectX 10. I have a great rig, but have been disappointed by my card, so I'm looking to upgrade, and I just want to know your opinions on whether to sit back for a while and see where this whole Vista thing takes us, or whether that 8800GTS is a precedent in it's own, Vista aside.

I just don't wanna go and drop R5000 on this card and in 6 months time find out the market has gone in a different direction.

I've looked up a lot of stuff on google etc, I just wanted to find out what some fellow gamers (I hope, talking about a card like this ) felt about the situation.

Thanks.

Dude if u can afford that card go for it!!

Get the card it will be fine. There are some issue with the current vista drivers. But a new driver to address these issues will be out end of the month.

I think like 99% of games at max res, max details, 16AF, 16AA at 60+ fps speaks for itself

i can`t wait! Want to see what it can do...

So tell me how does it run? WOW or just Avarage
