[Vaanish]

w0000000t im picking up my Inno3d 8800GT tomorrow i cant wait...

Buy 512MB Inno3D GeForce 8800GT*8800GT-H5GTCDS from CCL - Online Retailer of the Year 2007

£145 for a 512MB version, what a price...

Gutted to leave ATi, but im in the market for a new card, and I just couldnt pass up a deal like that (on par with the 3870 in terms of price)

pics tommorow!!! and ill bench it against my PRO in terms of temps and performance, ill upload some nice graphs for all of you

EDIT: After this, ive promised my self that I wont upgrade again within 12 months... I hope i can mamage.

Re: OMG, Ive got a new toy

grats, 8800GT is truly a great card!

Heh, good luck with that. I just sold one of my GT cards, the other 2 hopefully will sell this weekend.

Do you guys think that the rest of my system (in particular the CPU) will be a bottleneck for the card?

What resolution do you use?

Can you get your e6300 any higher than 2.8ghz?

 

[Vaanish]

I use 1280x1024. My e6300 can be pushed to 3.3GHz, but that requires some scary voltages, i would only be really happy pushing it to 2.9GHz.

It shouldn't be a bottleneck, or at least a noticeable one. Have fun with your new card!

 

[Invisible]

ya not really a bottleneck as core 2 duos are great

Good luck and have fun with it.

Scary voltages?

Scary voltages on a C2D are 1.55v+ ....I highly doubt it takes that much to reach 3.3ghz.

Anyway you should be very pleased.
