The something NEW I bought thread. (Read 1st post)

[Tommy]

well i got it for my laptop which has a geforce 7000m so its a nice upgrade for meh and im going from 2gb ram to 2x2gb ram so that also helps

You are not saying that you bought that 8800 GTS and that RAM for a LAPTOP, are you!?!?   

[Z]

lol no i wrote it wong XD

old PC specs:512mbx2 ram
Nvidia Geforce Mx 4000
180gb HDD
17in moniter by dell i think

new pc:2x2gb ram
nvidia geforce 8800gts OC
500gb HDD
24in HP moniter(maybe 2 XD)

but i heard the 8800gts was in some laptops...

[Cobra]

i think not cuz mine had a S XD

edit:i think yours is better http://www.winmatrix.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=15721

Then why the heck you bought  a 8800 GTS when you could get a 8800 GT for less $$ ?

[Z]

got it off cusin for $85 he was selling it for 120 but since im family i got a discount lol

the G92 8800GTS (512 mb) are better than the 8800GT's 512.

but the 8800GT 512 mb is better than the 8800GTS 320

its kinda like..

256mb 8800GT < 320 mb 8800GTS
512mb 8800GT < 512 mb 8800GTS (the g92)

the 9800GTX is g92, and 8800GTS g92's 512 can oc' to 9800GTX specs.

but if you bought an OC'ed edition already.. you cant really overclock much more, unless u start changing fans and etc.

exactly, everything that's not G92 or never is something from nvidia you shouldn't buy...

but if you want perfomance for less money you'd want to buy an ATI... the price/performance ratio on them is amazing atm!

.. though there is the kind of people that buy nvidia cards just because "ATI sucks"... even though they've never used a pc with a newer amd/ati gpu

I've broke 2 ATI cards so I'm staying away from them  Since I'm with Nvidia,I've broke 0 cards.

[ProtonXL]

Well, I could've gotten a ATI card, for the money I had in mind (around $200) it was either a 9series nvidia, or a 3/4 series ati.
but i got my 8800gts for $120 ..

At the moment, Intel's are better CPU's and ATi's have the best performance for the buck.
I was probably gonna get the 9800GTX, as I'm a Nvidia fan.
But if I was building a PC for someone, and they'd want best performance for the buck, would be intel + ATI

[Cobra]

Everything installed!Went smoothly & the PC is uber fast compared to my old P4....curently downloading crysis demo & I'm going to get 3Dmark this week end since I don't have the time today to do everything.

[Dan]

I got Crysis yesterday, wish I bought it months ago  totally AWESOME game, love how its just a huge island like on Lost. The water effects are amazing, specially the waterfalls and seeing as I've never owned Farcry I'm damn impressed. I'm just glad my comp can run it on all high lol  Nvidia <3

What's your spec to run it on high?I can play it on very high but i'm getting low FPS.

[ProtonXL]

I run it on High as well

3.5mb ram DDR 1066 (i have 4, but xp only sees 3.5)
Q9450 - Oc'e at 3.0ghz
8800GTS G92 512MB

I get around 30-35 and of course in the easy spots such as inside houses it goes higher..
but out in the jungle i get like 35.

When I was on top of the mountain looking at the village im about to attack (at the beginning of the game). it got down to like 28-29.
but otherwise its decently playable.


check here, its pretty interesting.

all i can say is DANG!

[Cobra]

I was getting low FPS because I was in DX10 mode,switched to DX9 and it's playable now.

[ProtonXL]

did u get ur e8400 and 8800gt?
we're still waiting on results.
i built a pc kinda like that for my friend ( he has the 9800GTX tho).. either 12.3 or 12.8k on 3dmark06..
