I LOL'ed.

Go to nVidia driver download website and see if you can find driver update for those graphic cards i've listed above.
The last nVidia driver updates for those graphic cards i've listed above is Forceware 169.25 which were released December 20, 2007.

And look at the date now, it's 5th March 2008.

The latest Forceware release is only made for GeForce 9800GX2, 9800GTX, 9600GT, 8300, 8200, 8100.
Try downloading them and install them on your system that uses either one of this card below and see if you can pass the installation.
8800GTS 320MB, 8800GTS 640MB, 8800GTX, 8800Ultra, 8800GT, 8800GTS 512MB, 8600GTS, 8600GT, 8500GT & 8400GS.

They are using the 174.74 BETA driver, not the WHQL driver.
There's two version of Forceware 174.74. It's Forceware 174.74 WHQL [Official release] & Forceware 174.74 BETA [Tester, still under experiment].

I know why they removed the support of 8800GTS 320MB, 8800GTS 640MB, 8800GTX, 8800Ultra, 8800GT, 8800GTS 512MB, 8600GTS, 8600GT, 8500GT & 8400GS in Forceware 174.74 WHQL. Obviously they do that because they want to push the market for 9XXX series. dry.gif

Nahh, later.
I'm going to concentrate with the opening of my shop first.
Once it goes stable, then i'll go with it.

Owh wait, no.
I will only be back with PC when graphic card manufacturers have engineered real dual core GPU on a graphic card.
Not like right now which they just put two GPU on one graphic card. laugh.gif

7950GX2 is not real dual core.
7950GX2 is 2 units of 7950 connected together.

What i meant by real dual core is like the Intel Core2Duo processor or AMD Athlon X2 which is two cores in one processor.

7950GX2 is two card connected together and it use only one PCI-E X16 slot.
9800GX2 & HD3870X2 is two processor in one card.

bro, i think 9800GX2 and 7950GX2 is similar in terms of two card connected together.
Unlike HD3870X2 which really put 2 gpus in 1 card.

If you open the 9800GX2 outer case, u will notice there are 2 cards also nod.gif

Yes, you are right. The 9800GX2 is almost the same as the 7950GX2 but instead of needing 2 HSF, Nvidia basically stack 2 cards to use only 1 HSF. So, its still basically 2 cards with 2 GPUs. smile.gif

GPU's are inherently multicore. They are parallel and modular by nature. The amount of shader, vertex and so on actually can be refer as 'core' if you want.

There are a lot of thing that you should compare..not only the memory of the card

core clock,power consumption,etc.....

Depend on what you want dude.... thumbup.gif

crap.....guess NVIDIA knows their 9 series are utter crap so they decide to kill the previous series...

theyre turning into another Creative Labs.

i even tried checking out the latest 9 series driver release notes. did a search for "8800" and none found.

oh well...whatever laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

ive decided that ill be waiting for 10 series now...most likely not gonna bother with 9 series as its not worth the money..... yet

check with guru3d. the only difference in the new driver is that 9series receive the WHQL status while the 8series still in beta. its the same driver though
