[Rudster8161]

i could never have imagined this thing being as powerfull as it is nothing other than the unbelivable low price jumps out then you look at the stream processors 320!!! and 24X AA is quite overboard though

almost forgot
turn the lights out the parties over nVidia.......

 

[alvino]

You're pretty late. Haha, all the threads about this are almost dead...

 

[Rudster8161]

i know but i had to say my farwell to nVidia and they are all dead

 

[alvino]

Haha, have you even seen the benchmarks? They're good, but not THAT great...

 

[Lac3y]

What are you dribbling about? The benchmarks are extremely dissapointing and don't beat the 8800GTS. And the fact that it was hyped by ATi into oblivion coupled with the fact that it is more expensive than Nvidia's card, I must conclude that you have no idea what you're talking about.

 

[Neodude1123201]

Yeah Nvidia all the way!

 

[lhuser]

Meh, I don't game, so you'll never see me with those cards. I'd prefer All-In_Wonder, where I can put a TV Tuner or something else in it.

I'll stick with my X1300. If the 9600 has equivalency of a 9600, then the X1300 would be a 9800.

TV Tuners are my look now.

Nvidia all the way!! Don't count Nvidia out at all, radeon may have a slight lead but not for long.

 

[lhuser]

Meh, the way I choose my cards is how it suits me. If I can get an 8300GT or whatever it's named, I'll get it, but it has to be cheaper than a X1300 or around 25-35 bucks more.
