yo bro make this thread more informative,what is the latest driver for this baby.......coz my gameshadow doesnt seem to reconize my current driver it says maybe it the 1.69 beta version......so can anybody tell me what is the lates driver n give us some link where to donlot it,by the i just got this baby

it depends on users demand... im using 512mb top edition with 19" as in my signature, but some of the games still have lags such as GoW,CoH:OP, WiC and especially Crysis when it comes to AA .... i always play in native res which is 1440x900...

go to nvidia.com for whql drivers..
and guru3d.com for beta drivers

yeah...8800GT 512mb still win over 9600GT....but both are good in price/perf

Yeah! 8800 GT still worth it today. But i was shocked when saw the performance of 9600 GT, i was expecting 8800 GT to pawn 9600 GT kao kao. Mana tahu, it performs really well. Wondering how's the performance for the next gen high end card

8800GT ownage

hope 8800gt can still survive for another 1 and a half year....so frustrating if always changing,lol

i think 1 year can kua

well 8800GT can last for some time summore......

yup 88gt can play all the games @ high settings fluidly except crysis
damn resource hogging game

Not true.. try playing with a 27" or 30" resolution and see... lag like mofo

when is the new drivers coming out for 8800gt?

Nvidia 174.20,haven't try it because 8800GT on RMA.

17x driver rock!Boost 3dmark by quite some mark.

RMA coz OC too high then bom ?

AFAIK the next 98series oso using G92 core, juz the revised version nothing much.

9600 came a long way...

and i read it on the box of zotac 9600 that its performance is 90% above a 8600GT so imagine that.. 90%

for people under budget and could not afford 8800GT... 9600Gt will be the way to go!!

better u look at the benchies..
96gt is 2x86gt performance..

9600GT is to aimed to hit the midrange market which is held by ATI now so looks like Nvidia is comin up with affordable card with performance

Bros...i am using a XFX 9600GT XT version. Planning to upgrade to a XFX 8800GT Alpha Dog XT version. Both is 512mb..but i have to fork up almost another RM300. But if the perfomance worth it ah ( price vs, Perfomance ratio) ? Will there be a big difference? I play games at 1024x reso cuzz using a crt 17'' monitor only. How ah? Damn confuse should i just keep the RM300 or get the 8800. Hope for a swift reply...cuzz changing tomorrow d if getting the 8800gt. Thanks bro!

try to be objective in your decision. what games do you currently play? if you're getting the highest graphical settings at a consistently high frame rate (anything above 30fps average is good) then you don't need to upgrade. unless you're into benchmarking, if so the more you spend, the higher the score.
but considering you're only playing on a 17", save your money for the 98xx if you really want to upgrade.
