Wah sleepy, your PC spec is almost identical of mine, except for the GPU and mobo. I guess that wipe out my worry if I buy 8800GTS. Anyway, that's a big if since I'm stuck at 1280x1024...

gaji coming out today so looks like ill be ordering the 8800GTS once i settle my finances & bills. hopefuly everything ok...otherwise cant order....

the 2900xt is really attractive...but the driver issues and especially heat issues is really putting me off. more heat means more power and my pc is gonna be on 24/7 for torrents. dun wan daddy to start screaming about the electricty bill

as for the galaxy....i think they OC their cards...coz theres a shop here in MV that sells it...i saw on the box got written overclocked on the corner...just dunno how much OC done to it la...myself, planning on the BFG 8800GTS 320MB OC2. lifetime warranty how i wish i have enough money for the 640MB OC2.

and hopefully next month's pay can get another one for SLi

For 22" WS, 320MB would be sufficient. There's no much improvement owning a 640MB for 1680 x 1050 resolution. Save those money to grab something else you have in mind.

Yea, this is the reason why i would not drop the 320MB 8800GTS out of my mind. To enjoy the potential of 22" WS on gaming to the fullest. Thats what kept me away from the 8600series for a while first..

I tested some games with my card on my LCD, some games are good, some are demanding for my card to handle.

STALKER max settings on 1920 x 1200 is just playable, mouse movement is lagging. 1680 x 1050 is great, although graphics will be not that crisp. NFS series, nice but sad that it doesn't support WS. GRAW is good enough to play with max settings with 1920 x 1200. Test Drive Unlimited also smooth with max settings. CnC3, haven't try it out. Now I wonder how my card will handle Crysis on my LCD. Guess might have to spend more getting a GTX at least.

yeah...good point... might as well stay with 320mb and use the extra money for a new SATA II HDD....since my SATA HDD are all SATA I

oh well....have to wait for gaji right now..boss still busy...

There is a hack for NFS to support widescreen

damn a lot of stuff want to buy.. what geee income tax month.. crap.
i hate april and june....since kena twice

thats the time the government takes a bite back for the last year...

Tried, doesn't really helps much.

Wouldnt a 640MB GTS be sufficient since the problem for you now is support for higher resolution?Need until GTX?

If only GTX price drops alot. But by then, will have more choice to choose from.

I guess you're worried about the PSU huh? I think this FMA II is powerful enough even for a GTX Btw, I bought this card over the 320MB one because from HardOCP's review, it seems like 320MB's sweetspot is at 1280*1024. If you play at higher res, max all the details and use hi-AA and AF in certain games, its performance would drop compared to the 640MB due to lack of on-board memory. So I rather spend RM500 more for the extra memory, just to make it last longer a bit. Besides, I guess Crysis' gonna suck alot of video memory

yep, a never ending cycle it is.

i'm here getting the same card as you. hope that it will rox.

Certainly it will. Still it's one of the best value card available around as for now. Hope you enjoy once the card has arrived in your place.

Can 320MB version of 8800GTS provided enough juice for 1680 x 1050??

If not I would rather halt my decision of upgrading LCD stay with my 1280 x 1024 for a few month to come...

320 will have a hard time running 1680x1050 with eye candies..

reason is simple.. insufficient buffer.. (ram)

8800gts 320mb is sufficient to run games at 1680 x 1050 with all those eyes candies n u can hardly notice different of the 640mb version... i was shopping for a 640mb version b4 but after much reviews shown that ther's almost no performance different between 320mb n 640mb version at resolution upto 1680 x 1050... that's y i settle for 320mb version...

galaxy 8800gts 320mb oc version is running at 550/900... but i'm running it at 580/900 with chrader clock at 1350mhz...

Thanks.. that ease my mind a lot.. dun wan to add anymore money for 640MB... I already spent too much for my new rig... no money edy...

Seriously, just opted for 320MB.

guys....can someone help me and gimme a direct link to the best drivers to use with the 8800GTS 320MB & the Galaxy 8500GE?

planning to get both soon

and im an absolute n00b when it comes to these driver thingys....usually just use the one on the cd and never change again
