Oh I know patton!

I just cannot wait to get my 8800GT and new motherboard/ram!

 

[patton45]

my cousin sold his gts for 400 today i couldnt frickin believe it i dont even think he paid that for it. and his 8800 is here and were runnin it through the paces now. MY gtx is still getting higher fps

Tight that should be a nice upgrade
going to c2d too?

 

[p_o_s_pc]

i want to get a AMD x2 5000+ black and more ram also a 8800GT than i will be happy for a short time.

 

[patton45]

you can get an fx-62 cheaper i would go with that
149 on tiger direct
well not cheaper but for not much more 40$ get you faster proc and more chache and you can hit 3.1-3.2 easily on that chip
the only thing is is your mobo 939 cause i think it is

 

[hat]

But tiger charges around $20 shipping

 

[patton45]

sometimes i got mine shiped free
freeshiping for purchases over 100 at the time
157.48 with shipping from newyork to me in seattle not bad

The C2D comes later on sometime beginning next year. I will probably hold off on a new motherboard at that time cause I saw the e8x00's. They look very promising. 6mb cache 2.6-3.0Ghz 1333FSB. If I do hold off I might as well just wait even longer to get more ram while im at it.

I know it's bad to play the waiting game but I am happy with what I currently have and that is all that really matters though, right?

Although, I do need a new case before anything else.

I'll be waiting a few weeks and slamming in 2 x 2gb ram modules on my notebook...and further more in time I'll be getting probably another 7950 GTX.

 

[patton45]

7950gtx the notbook card? cause i dont think they made a destop one tested them in sli on my friends alienware. there good i would wait they have 8700m gt in sli and as we discussed the 8800s maybe some day and if they do you could put those in sli i would wait

 

[N-Gen]

Probably it would be worth the wait if there would be a reasonable price to. We could say the 7950 GTX (which yes is only a notebook version) is being sold @ $600+ at AlienWare so that's already something. So as the 7950 GTX is right now best on the market for notebooks at that price, the 8800 line will probably be far more better, and probably a lot more expensive. Again we have to take in consideration temperatures. The famous 80*C + range can be easily achieved by a 7950 GTX during gameplay. Probably the 8800 line will need external cooling and if they sell it already set up in certain notebooks (which I'm sure they will) they will probably be selling together with it the external cooling system.

 

[patton45]

where is asus and acer on the external graphics card set ups are they not certified yet? cause they were suposed to be out this fall and that would be my best shot term option since i already have dx10 laptop. i say get one 7950 and a 8800gt for external setup so you can hook up as a desktop i will shoot my buddie and email and see what up with acer on that but i know asus was hella close to being ready they were just wating cert and more than anything external psu cert from nvidia


edit: 600 thats in sli right cause i think when they first had them it was like 1200 for sli and last time i checked i thought th price was somewhere like half as much its not still 1200 from alienware right

 

[N-Gen]

I'd probably get the thing that from AlienWare Customize feature on the VGA selection you se +$xxx amount that's for the additional we don't really know their price for a single. So let's say SLI from the UK is +$660 Us dollars that would make a single card closer to $600 US dollars. The + price is for another card & the nForce chip.

BFG 7800GS OC

gpuz link in sig

 

[p_o_s_pc]

nice OC

 

[[I.R.A]_FBi]

indeed

playing crysis and prostreet demo has shown me i dont need to OC, but the benefit of upgrading soon is that u dont end up with parts that are worth next to nothing.

 

[N-Gen]

I'll be doing fine xD

 

[Morgoth]

OMG! You got it, that would be great if the link is still working!

Yes please please please ...

Then I can give all the low-midrangers some insight on how it runs on my rig!

 

[p_o_s_pc]

I am downloading it right now.

 

[p_o_s_pc]

i have already played it and got first on every level on the street challenge. I can play it on low @800x600 without OCing i am going to try 530/750 on teh video card and 2.5ghz on CPU.

 

[p_o_s_pc]

i get about 50 FPS average with about 1/2 on low and 1/2 on med no AA @800x600 clock speeds
CPU 2.52ghz mem 950 @4-3-4-3-9@2T GPU 530mhz V-RAM 750mhz(DDR 1500)
JR what are you getting?

 

[JrRacinFan]

Blah! 30-35fps 800x600 all low or off. Need to update my rig.
