Palit? Never heard of 'em.

 

[wolf]

Palits pretty decent as board partners go. personally some of my favourites, in no particular order are;

XFX - Leadtek - Gigabyte - BFG - Asus

most others are pretty good, ive heard a many a good review of EVGA and some MSI's, but havent had first hand experience with any of the rest, oh i had a Legend 6600GT....eh....

[Palit_Guy]

As Damulta mentioned...

I felt the need to brag a little.

Highest clocked 8800GTin our 06 thread is now the Palit 8800GT Super 1GB card.

Palit needs to put money into marketing the name and then a competitive warranty instead they spend there money marketing 1GB of memory in an 8600 or 8800 I can't begin to fathom how foolish that is, in the words of Wiz I don't have an e-penis! nVidia is not on deathrow the products sell them selves. congratulations on the overclock

the 1gb cards as he has said the lower end 8500 and 8600 cards are mostly for CAD and other such users, thats not foolish, its servicing a nich market that are willing to pay extra for the extra ram because it has a benefit for their applications.

as to the 1gb 8800gt, it will show benifit as games mature, look at the 512 vs 256mb x1900 cards, nobody i know who got a 256mb card still has it, most that got a 512 still have them.....but at the time people said the extra ram was stupid and pointless.....

 

[calvary1980]

it shows no benefits, it's marketing please tell me your not that naive CAD users use commercial workstation cards Quadro, FireGL, Wildcat for heavy rendering they do not use an 8600 lol.

[Nick89]

it shows no benefits, it's marketing. please CAD users use Workstation Cards Quadro, FireGL, Wildcat for heavy rendering they do not use an 8600 lol.

- Christine

Yes but those FireGL,Quadro, workstation cards are way more expensive than and 1Gb 8800GT. And they dont play games aswell because there workstation cards.

 

[wolf]

it WILL show benefits, i can guarantee you that, look at PT boats, its a massive benefit there, surely enough who cares, but in a year alot of games may well make use of the extra 512mb

 

[calvary1980]

im not talking about the 13 year old who spends time in maya or max im talking about professional cad users who use CAD boards and Workstation Cards, building a gaming engine they don't even use that much memory 256/512 Wildcat uses a VPU with over 200 micro GPU inside, it's a whole different area of rendering. and i'm sorry if I come off bitchy I have no intentions.

The 1gb 8600 works great for my cad system for my small machine shop.

congratulations your still a minority

can you please come here and explain???

 

[wolf]

the fact is that if they make 1gb cards, people will buy them, and you cant stop people buying what they want to buy.

and if the price difference is negligible why not? it'll very rarely make the card SLOWER, it can only possibly make it faster. a future driven move.

 

[erocker]

congratulations your still a minority

- Christine

True, but there is still a market for the cards. Not everyone is a programmer or designer by profession.

 

[wolf]

well say for example, a mate wants you to build them a new computer (assuming most people her on TPU can) and they say it has to last them at least 2 years if not 3 or more. at that stage do you say yes 512 is ample youll be fine for 2 years? i think not, 1024 is the go in that situation, at least in my opinion.

just one example of why 1gb is a good move over 512mb, and its not like the price is 500 for a 1gb and 250 for a 512mb either....

 

[ChillyMyst]

erocker shes not to smart, sorry to say it but shes kinda....unsmart......

she dosnt get that the quatro and firegl cards are the EXECT SAME CHIP as the 1300/1600 or 8400/8500/8600 when u buy a low end one, but they cost 10x as much..


The Quadro FX 570m is the 8600M-GT for example, same chip, you can eather do a driver mod or mod cards in most cases to get full quatro fetures out of the normal cards.

years back i was making a fortune moding gf2gts cards into quadros by moving 1 resistor from one place to another, buy a gf2gts turn it quadro, sell it for a mint.......took about 5min to mod once u got it down......and u could easly get 5x or more what u payed for the card.

Thats not a very nice thing to say man, to say someone isnt smart.:shadedshu Maby she didnt see the whole picture the way you did. Also its her opinion if she thinks the 1gb cards are not worth it.

I think you should edit your post and apologize please.

 

[erocker]

No that is not nice, and not tolerated.

 

[calvary1980]

your forgetting nVidia plans for GDDR4 and 5. I was speaking of the 3DLabs Wildcat or Oxygen Series I only used FireGL and Quadro as a reference im aware nVidia uses the G9x in the new Quadro series however it offers more than a 8800GT.

[Fitseries3]

is there a softmod driver for the 3870 to fireGL yet?

 

[Nick89]

Banned? I think thats kind of harsh, did you at least warn him?
