8800 gts 320 MB waste of money ???????

The next generation of games won't be so kind to your card. Keep it.

Keep the card you have now. Once DX10 games come out, you'll be glad you kept it then.

thanks jjknoll. i play Dark Messiah too but at 1440x900 beacuase my lcd doesn't support more then that. and it runs at that resolution at max setting. well i am really happy too. this is my first highend card i always used mid range card. will stick with it. i think i got pretty good deal though i got EVGA 8800 gts 320 MB superclocked for 279$ . it's pre overclocked card. GPU core runs at 576 MHz and memory at 1700Mhz.

hey RobsX2 i am not a hardcore gamer as you man. and i don't have that much money burn too. but if i had i would sure buy two 8800gtx

You should have bought something from the 7series maybe the 7300LameEdition. Then you could have the low framerates you really want

Chill, man I was just playing. the 8800GTS is by no means a waste of money. Although I did find funny that you thought a 8800GTS a waste of money and then you went jumping on the GTX SLI bandwagon :?

Its a waste of money as far as u are paying $$$$ for a dx10 card, when dx10 doesnt yet exist in games.

Having said that... the 8800's ARE the best cards currently on the market, and in demanding games like Oblivion at hi rez it WILL hammer any 8800. It should never drop below 40fps tho. Also spending that kind of money on a card u will want to keep it for awhile, i can promise u games like Crysis will take a huge $h!t on the 8800s.

So expensive yes, but if u run 1600-1900rez and want max settings to be playable, its either an 8800 or 1950 x2

Hi dude 8O

first of all that card is not a waste of money cause i own it . Its Freakin awesome .

You think you wasted your money then return the card you obviously cant afford it and have stretched yourself to far.

Also what games you play, okay let me be honest with you not many people here would tell you this but this card does not effect your gaming if you only play SOLITAIRE okay .

Otherwise i dare you to find a better card for performance vs price . This card rulez

Try buying glasses then you wont get confused while actually reading a article and not just looking at the pretty pictures

We buy things not because we can always afford them but because we WANT them .

Anyway man Peace i was just joking , no insults intended unless required

I think that crysis would run just fine except at the resolutions .

The 8800 right now is the high end of the g80 graphics line up.

So logically speaking Nvidia is not going to be selling cards that cant run atleast everything that is released in 2007 on high or uber settings.

Our 8800 should be fine , just purring along like a fine tuned Ferrari .

I mean if crysis or DX10 games cant run on these cards then who hell is going to be buying the 8600 series .

Think about it , there are only so many people who can afford the top end 8)

They are the premiere customers who blow huge amounts of the green stuff on there Vcards.

So my dear fellow you are riding in a "S" class of graphic cards .

Rather then worry when it wont be able to do what i would suggest just enjoy the ride .

I LOVE MY UBER 8800

Yeah at that res you are going to be alright for a long time . You have made a wise decision , my young jedi i sense the force is strong in you

I KNOW i saw your rig 8) in the other thread .

Awesome stuff man real cool , so what games have you tested on that 8O .

Besides oblivion of course.


i cant afford anything like that but maybe someday .

That is just too cool man awesome stuff . 8O

So tell me something do you work at Nvidia or some gold reserve

But seriously dude that is a dream machine no 2 ways about it .

So how long did it take you to build and like did you already have the money or you planned it over some time .

Just wanna know cause i am already saving for my dream machine , which i am going to building in 2008 . long way off i know but i should have enough money by then Kaching .

Also one more question what make of ram do you have and processor monitor .

Thank you , i am definitely a fan of your machine 8)

I'm kind of surprised that noone told you this yet but...
The refresh rate of your computer and your eye are two slightly different things.
First off if your computer is running a game at a steady 28 fps you WILL notice lag.
You'll simply notice that your commands aren't being reflected in the game fast enough.
Also your eye can tell fluctuations in FPS like going from 40 to 50 and then down to 30.
This is what your trying to get rid of. Anything over 60 though and your eyes can't tell.
