i was like u before, hunting for 8500gt or 7600gs...

end up buying 8600gt...
7600gs will perform better frame rates in games, while 8500gt perform better in HD-movies+wide screens...


tht's nice... then i can play new games now... lost planet...

huuhuu... wonder will lost planet cook up a 2900XT if everything was on max
my 8600gt rise up instantly to 63C in just a minute or so, unlike most other game, it consume the max of the GC as soon as the menu loaded
on everything default (on 1280*720) , its very playable even on 86gt, but with 4xAA on, I no eye to see

from this observation, DX10 games can be assumed to be very 'HOT'

yup agree with you. Play Halo port to PC, doesn't feel special at all. And MAFIA is great game, If only there is sequel for it.....

wah lost planet so terrible meh the requirement................

how is 8600GT compare to 7800GT 256 DDR3 ?

Don't feel bad. The demo's coding might be poorly written, like what happened to DOOM 3 last time.

yeah.. it is strange enuf to see how 88Ultra got chooked running the demo...

It can't be the requirement... else no hope for 8600 series and below to ever enjoy the game..

what most of u think running DX10 graphic card with ageia physix...is there any perfomance boost worth to mention??i myself eyeing for this card but after reading those review, its nothing more than another tonne load 2 ur gpu n cpu.had anyone ever testing the card while playing n benchmarking??

guy what do u think bout my system temparature...

noon time...
room temparature around 40C
due to my room direct sunlight and all door and windows is close..

GC temp 85c
system temp 56c <- after install 8800gts temp increase 10c
cpu temp 44c
pwm temp 56c

what is your guy opinion...i already palce order to for evercool fox 1 and fox 3 to blow the air in from front and blow the air in from bottom of gc..

waht u guy opinion..?

I don't think Ageia Physix card is well worth it (unless you got the money.. lots of it to spend)

Correct me if I'm wrong.. but I thought the game supporting this card is limited right??

is a gimmick card to me. when they first luanch the card multi core processor is not out yet. these days any pc with quaad core can do all the physics processing. i dont think a few more paricle spark and blowing crates will make a game better.. dont really if the chap i'm shooting at really got blown away realistically. killing is killing........LOL

Not to mention even the 8800 already have physics funtion

Well guys... I have some question that has been wandering inside my head for quite some time...

The 8800GTS has two version... 320MB and 640MB.

What did this additional memory on 640MB does actually?? Did it increase the fps?? Because a few times I stumbled with some graphs from 3dguru showing the 640MB version performing lesser than its 320MB brother...

All this time I'm thinking the higher the memory.. the better the fps. But it seems now that is only a myth in my mind

Can someone clear this up for me??

as far as i know more memory means better texture quality........more buffer.. that's all.......

sorry if i'm wrong.......

more memory will unleash its performance when u re gaming in ultra high resolution, eg. more than 1600*1200

Lets see some rebutal..
first so few games supports quad core and thats mainly to supreme commander..
hurray for 3-5fps more... lets rejoice at the extra two cores... so the multi core rubbish on physx ended there.
second it does work and its better than what gpu can offer right now.

i recommend ageia physx only for ppl who has more FPS in their games that needed.
all benches whos that with physx u have lower fps. theory on it is because ure cpu bound and i think this condition will exist for quite some time. therefore u need a lot of fps to spare like 20 fps less for physx.

my case i have too much gpu power and proc with high clocks (aiming at 3.73) so physx no probs for now...

the only game that i know who uses AGEIA are

GRAW 1 an 2
Cellfactor <-- nok even ouk yek..

hey guys just wondering...do i need a vista certified or compliant motherboard to run a 8-series card?

No you don't have to. Any board with PCI-E slot will run the card.

actually im gonna pair it up wif my 2x 8800gts 320mb...n maybe oc up my proc e6600 to the max..is it enough huh??
care 2 tell the difference between using and not using ageia physix @cstkl1 while doing benchie??is it a big leap wif ur current setup??
