Another 9800GTX or a GTX280/285

I would suggest getting another 9800gtx because together they can outperform a GTX280 really easily lol, i am not sure about a GTX285. However at that resolution, any setup, the SLI9800GTX, GTX280, and GTX285 can easily max out crysis no problem. Therefore I suggest going for the cheapest solution being getting another 9800gtx and making them SLI which would be your best choice.
-However in crysis 25-30fps is very smooth buddy, even at 20fps, it feels like 30+ so you shouldn't feel lag, I really don't know why you want more speed??????????????????????????????. But anyway 9800gtx SLI is your best bet, but beware, it might be cheap and it might look awesome in your case, SLI has its cons.

Exactly my point I think 9800gtx SLI would be the cheapest/most powerful setup which is the best combination. MAKE SURE YOUR POWER SUPPLY CAN SUPPORT THESE CARDS before buying, this is very important so dont forget .

Than you guys So much!

what Power do you suggest?

will a 750W Xigmatek do?

Thank you!

Hay! Cool.

Thank you so much um BlueScreenDeath? oh no I hope not.

whats this

Downgraded to:
1.5GHz Intel Celeron M
512mb RAM



Thank you!

Yep, I've decided to sell parts of my main rig. So for the next couple of months, I'll be using
a 4 year old HP laptop with a 1.5GHz processor.
Takes forever to load up firefox XD

I don't think they're a well known brand, but Xigmatex should be fine.

The 650 watt version has an 89% 5/5 reviews on newegg...which is very good.

No.

Corsair, OCZ/PC Power & Cooling, Coolermaster, Thermaltake, Zalman, etc are usually the top of the line GPU companies.

Some of their products suck, but most of them are good.

Well!

Thank you so much guys!

Good info!

I'm not sure?

I have an E8400 as you probably know by now,And I'm not sure in I should get a Q9650 ? witch the price has not gone down on yet!

Or a 9800GTX+ ?

I saw many Benchmarks the show 2 9800GTX's can beat a GTX280 and shame a GTX260.

So?

Or hold out and see if the $$ go's down on the Q9650.

Do you think the price will drop on it any time soon?

Thank you!

Also.

I do lots of gaming,some Video editing,And music,But mostly Gaming.

Do you think a Q9650 would be worth getting?

Do you think 9800GTX SLI will Slow my E8400 down any?

Main thing is,Do you think its worth having Quad Core?

Thanks!

Sweet rudimentary ranking! Good idea!

Hay ? what else can I learn from you?

So you think I should get another 9800GTX?

Thank a lot !

^that's a good point. I know someone who almost ordered an 8600 and an 8800 due to some kind of typo . I'd really recommend the two 9800 GTX+ cards - I'm running a pair myself and they do really well on most stuff (can't comment on a few games since my PSU tends to crash SLI in certain apps - looking into upgrading to a singe 12V rail model). They'll definitely beat the single card, plus it's less money.

ChannelWellTech makes the Xigmatek. It also is a submanufacturer for some of the Corsairs, Thermaltake, Gigabyte, and others. It should be fine.

That is incorrect. I have/had a XFX 9800GTX (65nm 675 mhz) SLied with a PNY 9800GTX+ (55nm 738 mhz) and it worked perfectly.

Nvidia's website states that the GTX and GTX+ will SLi without any problems whatsoever.

9800GTX can SLi with the 9800GTX and 9800GTX+ but NOT GTS250

9800GTX+ can SLi with the 9800GTX and 9800GTX+ and GTS250

GTS250 can SLi with the GTS250 and 9800GTX+ but NOT 9800GTX

+1 BSOD

9800GTX will SLI with 9800GTX+

That is what I used before I purchased my GTX260.


Also, +1 Hawk I also us the E8400 and it handles everything I can throw at it. I’m running @ 4.02 on air ( 24hour prime stable ). The E8400 running @ 4.0 is a monster. I definitely recommend staying with your current CPU.

Yup, I subscribed with nvidia to update me on their new stuff. The 300series are coming out soon, in some months from now so yeah, not to much information about is around quite yet though.
