8800GT stuff - Page 6  

Sol and Rockin get a clue shyt happens you spent an ass load of money on cards that are only giving you a small bump in performance that is life when it comes to computers. Stop posting about how the sites are bogus because your butthurt its old.

Gots to admit that is a great bang for buck card . May have to try one out, the other puter needs a gpu now that I got rid of the last one I had layin around. Some more reviews of what I'd call good sites.

I doubt an informed computer shopper will pay 500-600 dollars for an Ultra/GTX now.

$259

It's offically launched, so go get one or two now.

http://www.nvidia.com/page/home.html Should be on the homepage now.

Bleh I feel like talking to AVA and telling them to replace my 8800GTS with the 8800GT at no cost. F*cking ass hats have been doing nothing all this time and I'd love if they'd just do something nice for me.

Darq.... Money means little to me. If you actually bothered to read my bench post (#52) the one after them showing an Ulta getting 10,100 on 3D06 w/a 3GHz proc at 1280x1024 you might why I was disputing the results. You might have also noticed That I recommend the card to anyone that is building a new machine & wants the greatest performance for the price.

So read before you start talking "shyt" as you put it. I posted facts, and I never said it wouldn't be a good card. I said it would not be better than the GTX or Ultra as far as performance is concerend, which is...welll...true...

Yep my Ultra cost quite a bit more, but I have at least a 15% performance edge over the GT. I think you are forgetting that not everyone can use SLi, or wants to for that matter. Not to mention the GTX/Ultra price will drop a bit now because of this new slim line beast they have released.


I'll take my performance ( which is considerably higher than the GTX they used at 575/1500/1800 vs my Ultra @ 713/1654/2150.) Over the GT for 3 reasons.

#1 At the time of purchase there was nothing more powerful
#2. By itself it is still the most powerful card available. (price not withstanding)
#3. The GTS is right around the corner, with the 9800 series following right behind it.


GQ's post (and the site I base my current conclusions on )

PD, I would tell them that you have been w/o your machine so long that a new video card has now been released & you should be allowed to upgrade to the GT.

Actually, to my surprise, the man I'm dealing with came back saying he had to talk to the CEO about what can be done for me. I'll take that as a semi-good thing since so far the tech has been making all the decisions.

nice I hope you get that 8800GT , that would be a sweet deal for you!!

Is the same 8800GT offered on the Area-51 7500 Configurator?

Hope you get the GT there pd

I think I am going to dump my GTS 640 Meg cards and get two GTs lol

Look s as though the 8800GT scores a 10500 or so on 3dmark06...So as for you saying its better thena ultra, wrong again....Also it doesn't support dx10.1 so thats a big flop.

When was it said that the GT was better than the Ultra? Who cares about a 600 dollar card..

Just think, two GT's 460 dollars.... One Ultra, 600 dollars

p.s. this thread was going great till Rock showed up again.

We went over this. The 8800GT is in no way better than the Ultra, however it is about on par with the 8800GTX (only slightly worse) and as for price, I would say that it is by far the best priceerformance value.

That has been what was said here. Again, throw out synthetics, they are synthetic

Once AA/AF comes into the picture the GT takes a hit...Wouldn't want to see it against my Ultra.

but you are right, you can get 2 8800GT's. Of course it will not matter at those higher resolutions w AA/AF since you are still going to be limited by the 256bit memory bus & 512MB of RAM. So if you want to add another person to your rude rude p.s. feel free to.

Naturally so. However IMO I think having high settings at high resolutions is far more important than what AA/AF contributes.

AA/AF is a huge memory hog, which is one of the reasons it drops so far behind when AA/AF is kicked in. They should have made it a 768MB GT!

Well, I think the reason they didn't is pretty much because of the supposed 9 series that will be arriving they semi-purposely just bottlenecked the 8800GT series in memory so that they can have an enthusiast line naturally

230 dollar card being compared with a 600 dollar card... come on.

It's the difference between a budget minded high performance card & an all out maximum performance enthusiast card for folks a less concerned about cash. I purchase my card because I wanted the highest possible performance in a single card, cost was not an object.

Wow with the AA / AFturned on that GT card is absolutly worthless, my ultra would completely kill it....


THe Card is 309 on new egg for the version that scores 10500 on 3d06...So two of those runs about 620, I only paid 570 for my ultra....Also your done once you SLI that card, I throw in another Ultra and those two gts are gonna get killed.


I think for 250$ its DEFINETLY WORTH IT, but it does in no way compete against the top dog Ultra or even the GTX for that matter with the important AA and AF Turned on...I'll wait for the new cards to come out.
