HAVE FUN GUYS... CANT WAIT TO GET MY HANDS ON THEM!!! Wakakaka. but i still like 8800 more... LOL!!!

Well 8800GT's design are still pwnage xD

lol...couldn't wait your 8800GTS???


any idea how long the RV630Xt is??


Chow.

RV630XT rumors said june 2007, some say may 2007. Not quite sure.. amd-ati can always change their dates to release... so.. all we can do is just wait... We cant write a letter to amd-ati regarding of releasing their GCs faster right? haha... so have to be patient.. anyway.. since nvidia's DX10 is out first.. so i might get my hands on 8800. but currently waiting for pc fair first.. wanna see whether got price drop or not.. coz im not in a hurry to use it.. haha.. not playing any games which requires DX10 nowadays.. unless C&C3 is out!!! woo hoo.... p/s: sorry out of topic.

, 8800 series cooler more "cun" than this one ...

I like the 8600Gt coz 8800 series price still quite high.....

C&C3 is DX10 game???

Dont think so. A friend told he he can play the demo at 1280x1024 with most on high setting using just 7300gt 128mb

I personnally will opt 4 d MSI 8600GTS wif heat pipe cooler

ati Rv630XT look like current x1950xtx, it fan looks same... romur sait it will pwn curreny x1900gt or maybe able to pwn x1950pro as well...

hv experianced sli before, now crossfire turn...

Pheeww...no need to upgrade yet.

Maybe i'm one of the few strange one, but i much prefer EA's C&C:Generals over the old WestWood C&C which i actually hate. Hopefully, with this, EA will be able to improve on the old and new.

btw, gamers.com.my is taking pre-order until 21st March only...a few days to go only. RM99...i think i'm gonna book mine already.

why both the 8600Gt and GTS have different colour PCB ???
significant difference in terms of the design and components ???

anyway judging from the fan size, is GTS a higher end version of 8600 series compare to GT ??

well i doubt the price would be cheap for 8600GTS and GT, i still remember 6600GT and 7600GT came time the price hitting 1k......

but 8800GTS price around RM1200 at launch may just force them to come out lower

High-end = Card name = *9**
and suffix = GTX,GTS,Ultra,GX2

Mid-end = Card name = *7** ,*6**
and suffix = Ultra, XT, GT

Entry-level = Card name = *5**,*4**,*3**,*2**,*1**
and suffix = MX, Ti, GS, Le

well..atleast this is what i think..

neways..no 8600Ultra???

It's interesting dat PC hardwares nowardays consume more power than earlier
Even mid-range card nowardays like 8600GTS also required external PCI-E power supply
New hardware not power efficient as their ancestors?

Performance/watt wise, newer hardware is a lot better. It's just that the performance has grown so much. The other problem with parallel processing is you can easily increase performance by increasing parallelism (more hardware) which leads to more power.

All I want to know is whether the rumours of the top flight RV630 outgrunts an X1950 in 3D Mark is really true or not. If yes, FTW

For situations where it is not bandwidth constrained, i would not be too surprised if it outperforms the x1950. This is assuming it is a half R600 part (evidence strongly suggests that this is true).

8600gt!!! the return of the black PCB!!!!! wonder wut would be the pricing like....

is halo2 for pc is a Direct x10 game? if yes then have to buy 8series gc to support dy.

so is it safe to assume that the prices for cards like 7300/7600/7900 will go down?
