You finally saw through?

irenic, not everybody needs an expensive card to e-p3n15 wagglery.

When the HD 3850 256MB reaches RM500-550 and 512MB, RM650-RM700 with non-official boards (look out for Palit/Xpertvision), nVidia can't beat them in any way. Even the 8800GT 256 non-official is still 200USD.

Crossfire 2 3850 512MB/3870, and you get a system that can beat the new 8800GTS in Crossfire by a lot. Don't underestimate AMD, they're still in the game and by the looks of it seemingly winning this winter in sales.

I won't say all, but keep in mind that the 8800GTS "New" is still bandwidth limited. Performance will whimper when you go to 1920*1200++. Dual crossfire cards are the way to go in high res.

256-bit is 256-bit. You can't bypass that unless you get GDDR4, or you do multi-GPU.


The GT doesn't have any problems with resolution scalings. They seem pretty fine besides for Crysis.
