QUOTE(Joseph Hahn @ Apr 26 2007, 11:06 PM) I'm very disappointed for now. But i shall wait until the actual launch and proper benchmark on the retail version before i actually buy myself a 8800GTX for my new system.  Im in the same situation as you are in now, i got my new system about 2 months ago, then the last thing was my GC, i wanted to put in a POWERFUL GC such as 8800 series into it straight away coz i wanted everything to be "new" as in technology, but then Ati's DX 10 cards are coming out too. So this is making me so confused.. after a little bit of thinking, i asked myself. If i get a 8800 series card now, what games can fully utilize it.. and do i play those games? So.... my point is, buy a card which suits your daily usage, not for self satisfaction only or benchmarking. So at the end,i told myself to wait until Ati pops out then i'll decide which one to buy, ATi or Nvidia.. even though now 8600 series are so tempting too. =p |

QUOTE(Najmods @ May 6 2007, 12:20 PM) What you basically mean is 8800GTX will die faster than 7600GT? Not really, some cards are perfectly fine play at high temps, if not why do they bother release it in the first place? Who say having a power hungry cards will increase electrical bill, if they really do, I don't mind at all Dies faster in the long term, not in 1 or 2 years time, perhaps 4~6 years? It kills the lifespan of the card. Just my opinion. And also for 24/7 users (like me), high heat/power hungry cards is definitely a problem for them. Card which releases high heat affects the ambience in the casing, which means heat accumulates inside the casing. Of course, the solution is to turn on the air con, but we are trying to save what we can save(money of course). =) I wouldnt mind too if it's a high heat and power hungry card, but of course it will be better if it releases lower heat and less power hungry. What do you say pal? This post has been edited by derek87: May 6 2007, 07:14 PM |
