if you are not a serious gamer, or you don't have a big size monitor, 8600gt is very enuff for your gaming..I am using a 8600gt now, although I am going to change to a 2900 soon but I stilll like 8600gt..it can just simply hit 10k with this 8600gt card after oced.. it's cheap for this card but it can play most of the game in high setting...I am using a 22" LCD running very smooth on oblivion, stalker, aoe3, c&c3 and dark mersiah.

LOL.. you're making me drooling over the XT lorr... hopefully the price is cheap. I still not clear on the price...
For now my choice for my new rig is still 8800GTS.. but who knows... if XT is that good... I might change though...  if the price is cheap that is.. |

Judging from Shamino's review, X2900XT doesn't seems that great for the price to be paid. And somehow ATI's IQ lose this time. But my my, 1Ghz core and 1Ghz memory for 16K 3DMark06.

dunno laa guys, from my point of view, the gts is already enough for your everday gaming use.... by looking at all the reviews, i say that insane power requirements, extreme heat. and ridiculous mod is not (for this 2900xt) is not worth my money... just my 2 cents.

bro take note of ure PSU.
Added on May 14, 2007, 2:08 pmhttp://www.ocworkbench.com/2007/asus/EAH2900XT/b8.htm take note... kekek they are using the older driver 97.something heck didnt they know the new drivers like 158 so on gives like 10 percent boost on most the games i play?? ... kekek some even close to 20 percent more..kekeke.. QUOTE Temperature Monitoring As there are no applications are available to read off the GPU temperature, we used the most traditional method. We attached our multimetre's temperature probe to the metal plate of the graphics card. We recorded the before and ater scores of the graphics card. The test is conducted in a room of an average 28 deg ambient room temperature. We let the card to stabilise as we don't run any 3D applications. The recorded temperature is 42 Deg Celsius. After that, we began running 3Dmark05 which is more GPU intensive. At the end of the test, the recorded temperature is 53 deg celsius. We did the same thing again, this time round, we connect the probe to the exhaust of the graphics card. The temperatures before and after are 50 deg celsius and 55 deg celsius. Considering a plus minus of 5 deg, we would expect the GPU to reach around 60 degrees under intense usage. Note that these readings are taken off with mainboard and graphics card in open air whats their ambient temp 10C??if according to what shamino review  http://www.tweaktown.com/articles/1100/10 this review terbalik.. haiyo y cant they use the latest driver for xt. and errr the card only overclocked can beat the gtx so.. y dont they compare with the gts.. funny larr this two reviews... like two dumb asses.. oh yeah u can see the difference in the 158 driver from looking at both reviews and also see the difference with the 8.37 drivers.
