But surely a fast runing big fat guy.... BTW, im already on the dark side...using ancient 9550 here..so still stick to ATI   |

QUOTE(akachester @ Jan 24 2008, 12:29 PM) The question for me now is, would the 9600GT be any better than the 3870? Is it even better than my current 8800GTS? NO you cant compare new mid range with old high range  |

QUOTE(sukhoi37 @ Jan 24 2008, 01:01 PM) stick with your 8800gts. Well, new technology is always tempting neither card will give you much improvement in gaming. The 3870 is indeed very sexy..  QUOTE(skylinegtr34rule4life @ Jan 24 2008, 02:16 PM) NO Which is why i am surprised in the first place when people are saying, "don't get the 3870 first as the 9600GT is coming soon".. you cant compare new mid range with old high range  when they are not even in the same league. Unless if there are any rumours/facts that the 9800GT is coming as well.. This post has been edited by akachester: Jan 24 2008, 02:54 PM |

BTW HD3800 is great and all...but have anyone tried playing older games? Any anomalies? Mediaval 2 Total War has one where trees cast no shadows at all!
 Happens to new NVIDIA cards as well(8800GT)...Said to be a driver issue...but kinda sucks if i need to move to 7.9...since i play WiC moving to older drivers will kill my performance in it... |

I rather you can change that part to "fuuuuullll" instead cause it seems like you are telling us to be a "fool" instead when using Ati well..ATi chip give you "more live" (izzit life??? ) in your gaming experience..aka beeeyooootiifooooollll image quality... . |
