dmn awesome the price... exceed my budget for C2D + 8800GTS (still pending though... )


Anyway... what is the equivalent card of 8800GTS from ATi??

just wait ATI R600 launched and see the results

5th post! Still hoping to see benchies of the 8500GT DDR3

yes... this 14 march rite? but i can see HD X2900xt in C-zone & pczone today pricelist, but no price, need to ask

14 March... tomorrow???!!!!

Wow... perhaps I can expect some price wars and maybe even the cutting of price tags for 8800GTS??

Though that is still dependent on the performance of X2900XT...

8500GT @gDDR3? IMO, it should kick 7600GT or at least 7800GT

i think, selling 8600GTS now is a good idea

geee bro i ended up getting the asus 8800 ultra..

btw czone did a benchies on hd2900xt

e6320 @ 3.2
HDx2900xt crossfired..

3dmark06 = around the 14200..

hmm where is floppy when i need him... cause that guy got 8800gts 320mb slied.

will post pic of asus 8800 ultra later..

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...post&p=11170143

X6800 2.93 stock with 8800gts 320mb slied...

what do you mean floppy benchies?

yeah if they reli do release it i'm gonna get this over the x1950pro, but still nid to look at the price-performance ratio lah..

member named floppy
i gave the link above for this post with 320mb slied...
also the dude is a admin for vrzone forum

own this one - 8500GT 256MB DDR2 @ 128bit
Asus GF8500GT, core over clock 9MHz (459Mhz, 400MHz DDR2)

Well, not the best for gaming, but the best mid-range GF8 for HD content and the new DirectX 10 features.

What's yours?

The last time I heard about 8800 Ultra, it will be very expensive (of course), and it should be very rare and limited. I guess its not that rare after all. Most of board partners have their version of 8800 ultra and some of them come with different flavors.
