GeForce 8800GT 512meg - Whose getting one?

Post by o'dium »

A nice DX10 card, not the best performance but still, all for £170? Count me in, I need a new GPU and I cant be arsed to pay above the odds for something that will be dead in a years time or too old.

£170 is a fantastic price.

Anybody thinking of picking one up? They launched today.

I was gonna get one of them, but the price difference is a lot, and the GT is 3%* slower... So I think I'll manage with the GT ;)

*toms hardware reckons anyway...

the downside of SLI is needing to always buy two of every GPU

the upside is then having two GPUs >:)

SLI is worth fuck all if you're not gonna play at resolutions higher than 1600x1200.

And I'm happy with my 8800GTS 320 atm

according to the benchmarks i've seen, 8800GTS in SLI outperfoms the 8800GTX single card, though not by much, and that's at 1600x1200 or less. the single GTX is slightly cheaper though...

It's the only company he has, poor guy.
Thick, solid and tight in all the right places.
