when i went to 8800gtx.. awesome

when i used 8800 ultra even more awesome

then sold them off with the anticipation of the 8800gt price/performance ratio freaking gila..

straight sold off all the g80 gts i had.. and made second rig slied with 8800gt

then since i was on maximus and was fedup with all the 680 except for the asus p5n32esli..
tried HD3870 crossfire.. awesome..

then temporarily went back to 8800gts G92 was in a trying mood... . biggest mistake..
hence what happened to me when i had that card, the very next day just packed it back and 3rd day posted sales thread

gaming ure card is good
but other things just pissed me off
dual screen support goes nuts especially when u want to play video on the second monitor
dont even talk about hdtv.. if u enable hdtv on ure second monitor say like mine 24 inch dualie.. so second i made it hdtv.. u can see framerate freaking slow when u play high def movies..
tested with naruto 1920x1200 encoding movie 2.. lousy...and some hd movie downloads

but gaming was good.. but price wise waste of money for a mediocre gain compared to 8800gt.only pros is he cooling

so base on this is what i can tell u.. everybody's expectation for buying a graphic card is different.. and what they expect from it is different.
this is the best i can tell u.

i cannot argue on 8800gt price/ performance .. its just that a good card
for hd3870 .. the price/performance/feature .. is something legendary

so depends where ure expectation meets..
for me daily 2-3 hours surfing while watching movie gaming 2 hours..
i need something that can do both exceptionally well.
the 8800gts G92 didnt fit to my criteria.

so thats y u see sometimes ppl selling off 8800gt to move to hd3870 and vice versa.. its whether they got what they were looking for

geee love ati when it comes to vista performance

[attachmentid=402997]

its on par with 3dmark06 on xp.

will try later with vista sp1

damn that shows that quadfire and trifire scales at every reso.. unlike sli and tri sli

they have price for everything.. even ferraris.
they even have secret R&D department to modify Asus 3870x2 DDR3's to DDR4..

thumbs man
