This coming from a guy who buys a sub par 8800gt, and then bags on every single 8800Ultra...Way to troll yet another good video card thread with your crap about low priced budget video cards.

They all logged out on you Rockinfella2k...but I'm still here.

Pdonket did have a point that the conclusions of the three reviews you posted to bolster your argument in Post #132 were 'so- so' on the diff between the 9800GTX and 8800GTS 512 so far as performance/price..."Hold it", you should say to yourself, "Leroy taking pdonket's side"?

I can't speak for hulioni but I don't think he meant you're an idiot. Probably a typo on his part, I think he meant you're an idiot (SP?).

If you'd play nice with others, I'd be willing to bet you could learn allot from hulioni and other members first hand experience...or not if you continue to be combative.

I could go on picking on you when an initial "Killin' Me" would've sufficed...but I feel long-winded Tonite.

Come on folks. Rock you called someone a name in another thread, should I temp ban you?

Chill out people. This 9800GTX is just a rebadged 8800GTS and the 9800GX2 is two 8800GTS's in sli on one card.

Play nice folks.

Just move on man, leave the 9800s alone, 9900s and any other series that cost over $300, trust me we get the idea that you don't like better performing cards.


I would most DEFINETLY buy a 9800GTX over a 8800GTS, sorry!
Not an accurate statement. This would be inflammatory remark #1.

Inflammatory remark #2.

9800 IS CLEARLYYYYY TOP DOG, if you want to compar it to a 9600 SLI, then compare it to a 9800GTX SLI, or a 9800GX2 Quad setup. Otherwise leave it alone...The 9600 is a great card and I do believe you when you say 2 x are better then 1 single 8800 Ultra, but again your compare two cards to 1 single.

You don't really post anything positive to these high end vid card setups, you always say well its a 100 more, or 200 more, or you could sli a cheap A## card and get almost the same performance and bleh blah.


Notice your last remark, its cheaper to buy a 8800....Again, get a better job or something, cause i'd rather take the newer card then the lower, this is a 9800 thread not a 8800, so drop the 8800s already and 9600s.


heres a hardcore gamer site, not sure you'd qualify, but if you look at the actual specs it is actually a faster card:

Again look at this link, now the 9800GTX is faster! WOOHOOO


http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/...ew/default.asp

OOOH AND ANOTHER WEBSITE AGREES 9800GTX FASTER!!!


http://www.hardwarezone.com/articles...519&cid=3&pg=1


YET ANOTHER WEBSITE Agrees the 9800GTX is the way to go, and offers tri SLI unlike your 8800GTS:

http://www.tweaktown.com/articles/13...hts/index.html



Shall I continue, I can get review after review stating the 8800GTS is a slower card, as it should be. You can't compare same clock speeds just cause the GTX has a higher card to begin with...May as well compare a OC'd version 8800GTX to a 8800 ULTRA stock speeds, same principle huh?


As for max performance...Are you mentally retarded, this thread is all about the 9800 not about how some low rate unknown website says there oc'd lower card performs almost as well as a underclocked GTX.

And #6


Rockin, all PD was trying to point out was the fact that the 9800GTX is a re-branded GTS. This is a fact. The ONLY advantage the GTX offers over a GTS is it's tri-sli capability.

I am not editing or closing this thread because I believe there will be quite a bit more to talk about when the 9900-series is released.

End of discussion.

Rumour control: GeForce 9900 GX2 and GTX set for July

some 9900 news...kinda old but say what...

http://www.custompc.co.uk/news/60233...-for-july.html

Posted at: 11:45am 1st April 2008 by Ben Hardwidge

New GT200 chips could be out in just a few months, says the rumour mill

Although Nvidia's GeForce 9800 GX2 has only just been released, rumours are starting to circulate about a successor to the card that could be released as early as July this year.

The guys at Expreview claim to have spoken to sources in the industry who say that Nvidia has a new G9x core codenamed GT200, which will be used in two new cards; the single-GPU GeForce 9900 GTX, and the dual-GPU GeForce 9900 GX2.

Expreview says it doesn’t have any more detailed information than that, but a forum user on Anandtech called TulipGTX claimed to have 3DMark scores from an Alpha GT200 GPU in February. In a GPU-Z screenshot of the supposedly benchmarked chip (see below), the card had 512MB of GDDR4 memory, but GPU-Z couldn’t probe the card for any other information. The card scored 16,646 in 3DMark06, but TulipGTX said that he would expect a score of up to 21,000 using the final silicon.

Expreview claims that both cards will be released in July this year, but we’ll have to wait and see if this turns out to be true. In the meantime, you’ll be pleased to know that another big hardware NDA (non-disclosure agreement) expires at 2pm this afternoon. If you want to find out what it is, then check back here later this afternoon.

Sorry for possibly inciting a fight in here, I didn't intend on doing so just thought it should be apparent to visitors that for many people the 8800GTS 512 will work just as well as the 9800 GTX

NP buck, thanks for the info.

Just have to decide what I am going to do.

I am either going to go 2 x GX2 GPUs or 2 x 3870x2 GPUs

or just wait until the new 99xx GPU release lol - unless I go via upgrade route with EVGA or BFG

Is this true, will we have physx on the geforce 8 and 9 cards:

PhysX coming to GeForce 8/9 owners soon

"When nVIDIA bought Ageia Technologies in February of this year it was clear what nVIDIA had in mind - to make the PhysX API independent of separate hardware and instead offload the work to the GPU. Well, only two months on and nVIDIA have announced that the conversion of the API to CUDA(Compute Unified Device Architecture) is almost complete.
What this means is that owners of GeForce 8 and GeForce 9 cards will be able to download and install driver written in CUDA which will enable PhysX (for PhysX-enabled games - expect this list to grow now nVIDIA is on board) without having to have a separate PPU."

Pretty bad when you know your product runs so hot that you feel compelled to make your own water-cooling solution for it.

---> GX2 <---rest of your system

Not that I'm sure they won't over-charge for it, and use it's existance as justification for the pretty craptacular thermodynamics that are coming our way with the GT200 series.
