I'm sure many of the gamers out there, including me are wondering what are the best GPU to date that will fulfil all gamers needs - Fastest speed, significant decrease in load time, highest frame-per-rate (FPS) possible for smooth gameplay experience, etcetera...

What I know so far is, every GPU has it's own pros and cons. There is NEVER going to be the BEST GPU available as games nowadays are designed in such as way that we'll never know. Games that ultilize DX9 or OpenGL such as F.E.A.R., Half Life 2 and Doom 3 will definitely run smoothly with the latest nVidia based GPU.

Hopefully the list below will help you see for yourself the hardware performance guide for each GPU so far:

Doom 3
The Sims 2
F.E.A.R.

To conclude, games like The Sims 2, GPU, CPU Clock, Memory are definitely the most important issues you would like to consider before turning on the MAX setting for graphic performance.

For games like Doom 3, nVidia Geforce 6800 is sufficient enough to run it with max resolution with no FPS drop.

Dude, DX9 is so lame.
There's already DX10 liao.

And the best GFX available for end users nowadays are Nvidia 8800GTX 768MB.
That's the best right now, no other cards can beat it's performance.

But as you yourself said that there will be no "There is NEVER going to be the BEST GPU", so there will be a better card in the future, but in the present, the 8800GTX is the best for end users like us.

SLI 8800 GTX , habis celita

True...
True...


But that's if you have the money to afford.

A single 8800GTX is RM2200, buy two means you have to spend RM4400 just on graphic card

a single 8800GTX is enuf lorh..still nid SLi burn a big hole on ur pocket

errr...did TS copy/pasted last year's article?

Which article you're talking about?
Share share laaa...

plus another rm1000++ for 1KW PSU..
ahaks..

-adios-

wow DX9 and Geforce 6800.

I think TS forgoted sum thin... I think d hardware which affecting d loading not those stated alone, but a performance hard drive will also affect game loading time

i even thinking that this

as for me, gaming with 8800GTX SLI, RAID-ed Raptor X, 4GB of DDR1400 RAM but too bad, bottlenecked by Pentium D 9xx (for example...)

the market price now is 2200 a??i thought that price is 3-month-ago price...maybe it when down already

care to share why is it lame?

even though, i knew it was meant lame, but i decided to take it as old=lama, ...DX10 AFAIK, is quite new, and not today's game support this DX10...

8800gtx sli rocks but ahem u need to game at 3.2ghz min to appreciate the raw awesome power...

still long long time that DX10 and vista fully support

Because it's an old technology, that's why.

I'm trying to explain to TS, that there is already DX10.
So DX9 is an old technology.

So i called it as lame, as there is already a card that supports DX10

Jgn salah faham la

nope, the thing is, u dun get it. today's game even hardly use SM3.0, there will be a long time b4 game developer start to utilise SM4.0. therefore, even if u have a DX10 card now, u cant expect to play DX9 game using DX10 sm4.0. DX9 will be here to stay for at least a year & half or more, the technology isnt new, and yet it isnt old. after that, u can expect games to have a mandatory for DX10. please note that the crysis demo that was shown in E3 is using ATi 1900 card, and it is a DX9 card.

See, i know you will misunderstood what i said.

I said the DX9 is lame coz it's old.
I'm stating that DX9 is just old.

I'm not saying that DX9 is lame.
Aiya..

Read the TS firstpost in this thread.
He takes the DX9 as a new technology.

I'm only stating that there is graphic card that there is DX10 ready.
And stating that there is already DX10.

Aiya...
Once again, don't misunderstood what i said.

Pointless thread, really.

In before t3h lock!
