7300GT gDDR3 vs 8500GE gDDR3, 7300GT still own , from the specs at Galaxy's site, seems good though... and the card even similar to 7300GT

seems like the 8500gt is very value for money....but i thought that the 8500gt stock clocks is 450mhz??

8500GT is 450MHz, but Galaxy took on its way to create even better, that comes the 8500GE with 600MHz on core, 1400MHz on gDDR3, memory clock, this is same goes to it's 7300GT, when every manufacturer using gDDR2 on 7300GT, but Galaxy did a great job putting gDDR3 on 7300GT...

Hi ppl. Just got my 640megger yesterday. Havent do any testing since I'm having some problem re-installing windows. Actually I was about to grab a 2900xt since there's no 640meggers found, most shops only carry 320mb. But then, I walked pass Techdos and notice this card sitting on the shelf. After some thoughts, I think it'd be safer to buy this one instead coz the 2900xt isnt really that good of a choice due to some driver issue

7300gt pawns the 8500?? I would have thought it was the other way around...interesting...

anyone having problem installing the official driver 158.18 from nvidia.com? it cant recognise that im using vista.. the error keep popping out. i have even tried using the international version. still cant work for me... anybody has encountered this problem before? by the way im using 8600gt.

damn.. palit 8600GT SONIC nowhere to be found in LYP.. if only i could get my hands on it!!

yeap, but i only comparing with my 7300GT's 3DMark03/05 score... it's 13028 and 5232. roughly, 8500GE's specs isn't big differ from 7300GT, but i think... in terms of future proof, better get the 8500GE...

lol..Not to forget your 73GT is the OCed kaw kaw one ler..If you get the GE and OC it kaw kaw as well, then maybe the GE is better...

eh, but i actually set to 600/1800 GPU/Memory clock ... anyway, how much the 8500GE? because, if it's ok with the price, i might get the card and try overclock it... well, i'm kinda miss my 7300GT already

Palit 8600GT Sonic you say?

i saw mika is selling it for RM480 ..but that's bulk .. not at LYP
http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/313989

preliminary round of ocing E6600 and 8800GTS produced 9.8k score on 3Dmark06...

running 8800 GTS at 570 Mhz core and 1800 Mhz RAM
PROC oced to 3.15GHz .. 350 x 9 with RAM oced from 667mhz to 700Mhz.

Will try a 400x9 and 800mhz on ram later.. once orthos is stable at this speed.

There is alot of deep pockets in lyn

hey need some advise.. is it ok to take 8600GTS? or it's better to top up a bit to get 8800GTS 320MB instead? is there any big difference between 8600GTS and 8600GT?

top up and take 8800gts 320mb if you can afford it. 8600gts is a neutered to fit into mainstream market.

It is about RM350 which is the same price as the 7300GT when its launched.Gosh, you making me miss my 7300GT as well..LOL..already one month and still not back yet..Damn..

count me in

anyway i need advise here.can my 450w psu support the 320mb 88gts? i m planning 2 get the card this coming months n i dun wanna risk burning my whole system again after getting the horrible experience during my 66gt days bcoz of using cap itik psu.

Is your PSU True Power?I have seen people here powering up their GTS with a 430Watt Extreme Power PSU..

Better get 8800GTS... the performance gap is quite big.. yet the price difference isn't that much...

wow, mine can only do near 9k on 3dmark06, e6600 std, gpu oc to 550/1800... but after oc to 400fsb not yet try, trying to solve heat problem of the proc 1st...
