Im also thinking getting 8800GTS 320mb, was thinking getting 8600GTS at first... but kinda not much difference for those has 7600GT and above... so kinda felt 'not-worth'.
Unless, u have a completely new rig and needed a budget 3dcard. Heres Geforce 8800GTS 320mb Round Up ------------------------------------------------ http://www.tech-hounds.com/review32/Review...ml#Performance_ Cheers  This post has been edited by TomatomanzSeedlezz: May 30 2007, 06:15 PM |

QUOTE(RevolutionWorks @ Jun 18 2007, 12:24 PM) I'm running 8800GTS 320MB with CM extremePower 430w. running wthout problem until now. Aaaa... i guess if ppl can run 6800GT/Ultra, they can run on 8800GTS, since i heard 6800GT/Ultra are pretty high in power-consumption.btw, its on stock clock/memory speed, no factory overclocking or I try to overclock it. Planning to upgrade to 8800GTX and change PSU also~   Anyone else has 450w or less running 8800GTS?.. and maybe did some overclocking... heh Cheers  |

QUOTE(Phoenixwunin @ Jun 19 2007, 03:42 AM) LoL.. that particular reason has forced me to get a Lian Li PC-7S.. YoooHOooo!.. Any TT Tsunami Dream owners here..?... which are using 8800GTS on it But I've read somewhere in the signature of someone in forums where there is a combination of TT Tsunami and 8800GTS.. so I believe there won't be any problem for the case to fit it in.  QUOTE(aidlover @ Jun 19 2007, 03:51 AM) why u all say till the 8800GTS is taking alot of power? Soothing to hear that... heh.. esp. u somemore did some o/c there ...heh i am using CM Real Power 450W + spec from my sig and there is no problem even when i OC my processor abit  Cheers |

Aight!, my worries are over!..
 Juz had confirmation it will fit my casing considering GTX can fit in there too esp. since GTX its longer than GTS, which means GTS will fit juz great  Heres the proper picture of GTX in TT Tsunami Dream :-  Gotten that pic from forum which hes using GTX on his TT Tsunami Dream  Its funny that alot forums thought that TT Tsunami Dream or similar (Soprano and etc.) can't a 8800GTX. Imo, all that its juz speculation that they thought it wouldn't fit, considering as u noticed those who said can't fit in are those doesn't even have GTS/GTX fitted in TT Tsunami Dream casing, all juz using sketches\diagram\drawings... cis..

QUOTE(zhen^wei @ Jun 19 2007, 06:08 PM) i using the same card. the fan noise quite ok. not loud. dont worry. my vizo fan spining louder than it. How does the noise level compared to 7600GT cards?.. (juz curious)if u looking for 8800gts 320mb, then can try get from arc_archive. 2nd hand RM930 really good price. i just bought from another ppl in melaka as 2nd hand also, if not i sure grab his 1..with lifetime warranty rm930 nice price, but as the rest said the warranty claim its troublesome and im in KL and i dont do "bank-in" deals, i only COD (refering to karom/arc_archive). As dattebayo said, the new one cost rm990 in shops, so not much difference in price. If less than rm900 i might consider.. lol Btw, i heard MSI 8800GTS OC Edition has 3yrs warranty, izzit true?...

QUOTE(akachester @ Jun 20 2007, 04:43 PM) Bear in mind, i have asked many people regarding this (not directly from shops though) that MSI 8800GTS in Malaysia are NOT bundled together with COH Aikz!.. u replied too fast!.. i juz chged my post 2mins ago nia.. lol, and dam abt it doesnt comes with COH... =_=", pretty anti-climax to me there... ..Anyway, i have not adjusted the fan speed as of yet because the temperature is reasonable with me (around 58 - 60c on idle). Maybe i will test it out tonight and let you know about it ok... The thing about the more expensive price for those brand are because they are hardly available here. People who are bulking in here needed to take into consideration as well about shipping and their own profit. Therefore, it accumulates to be more expensive than those obtained by local distributor.. Besides, their great warranty is also a plus point if you are eager to get them. I was also shocked to see that XFX 8800GTS is going for as low as RM1k in Singapore as well.. I see, thx for yer quick replies anywayz.. lol Hyde`fK :Aight, thx for the info Wasted s[H]sIkuA doesnt do COD...  Cheers This post has been edited by TomatomanzSeedlezz: Jun 20 2007, 04:56 PM |

akachester: Im kinda between MSI 8800GTS-OC and Winfast 8800GTS..
Coz my fren can get it at the same price for either MSI or Winfast I think im more towards to MSI due its pre-oc and Winfast has "meh" bundles.. but i do confess... i do like its "Transform'ish" heatsinkfan... heh By the think of it, i never actually owned/have any MSI products before.. so far all my gfx cards are from Winfast Leadtek since Geforce2 era to Geforce7 era... heh So, thinking of trying MSI this time , wutcha think guys?..Cheers |

QUOTE(akachester @ Jun 21 2007, 10:16 AM) EDITED: Have u disabled vsync for COH?... i heard the new patch has enabled vsync as deafult (afaik previously COH doesnt enable vsync as default).Installed COH yesterday, tried to push everything to MAX. No AA. Resolution 1650 * 1050 (Widescreen). Using the game performance tester, only got an Average with min. FPS around 10fps and max is around 60fps. Average at 26fps..Is this even normal? I am starting to feel my processor is dragging the performance of my GC down.. To disable it, juz add at the icon target "C:\Games\THQ\Company of Heroes\RelicCOH.exe" -novsync QUOTE(akachester @ Jun 21 2007, 11:33 AM) Well, the reason is, there is no point in getting a good GC without fully utilizing its potential. In my case, if i were to stick with my 17", i could easily play good games at MAX setting with either the 7900GS or 8600GT/GTS. There is no need to play using 8800GTS.. Yea, even 7600GT would be sufficient for that task on a 17" monitor.. lolCheers This post has been edited by TomatomanzSeedlezz: Jun 21 2007, 01:54 PM |

QUOTE(sniperwolf @ Jun 21 2007, 09:50 AM) My pny 8800gts 640mb had the default fan speed set at 100% and I can say my aircond sound is more noticeable than the graphic card fan spinning sound. Wait... its yer aircond split-unit?.. If yers really aircond split-unit, thats really comforting to know its quiet enough for me coz im quite picky in terms of noise Btw, weird abt MSI 8800GTS OC here, doesnt comes with COH, considering SG has it bundled (coz i thought its juz asia region only, apparently its juz here )... hmmmz...Anyone knows MSI HQ tel.no in KL?..

Yea.. thats another explanation.. different batch...
If so, i think first batch has it bundled, after that no more bundled with COH... to reduce cost?.. Hope not... Cheers |
