Hello all gurus.
I waited for the ATI release of R600 and sold my old SLI 7900GTX setup before its release.
I now have no graphic card in my PC.
Have been looking for a replacement card for some time now, but it is so hard to choose. I will post the swedish prices, so you know what I have to choose between pricewise.
My rig is a Dell XPS 700 Core2 extreme 3ghz@3.6ghz with a Gefen Dual link DVI switch connected to a AppleCinemaDisplay 2560x1600. The Dell is SLI capable.
Nvidia 8800GTS 640meg SLI 950 dollar
Nvidia 8800GTX noname 695 dollar
Nvidia 8800GTX namebrand 725 dollar
Nvidia 8800GTX overclocked 626mhz 795dollar
Nvidia 8800Ultra 950 dollar
The problem: A nonamecard is 695 dollar. Only 30 dollar more for a name brand like Asus.
Then it is only 50 dollar more to get a overclocked modell that is 10-15% faster.
From there it is only a bit over 100 dollar to get the Ultra version. The Ultra version has the respinned A3 sillicon that is highly overclockable. 650+mhz. At least 10-15% faster then the OC GTX card.
I have not find any site that has compare an Ultra with 640meg SLI.
What do you think? I really need som help to deside. (I am not an Nvidia Fanboy. Really sad that they failed to release the 2900XTX)
