Videocards.. which to buy and whatnot.. simply videocards!

[Stereo]

Still, I wouldn't get an 8 series. They're the first ones with DX10. I'd wait till the 9series come out.

[S2000_Skyline12]

the 8800GTS/GTXs are the only ones worth getting =P

[viper16]

what is better for the comp im getting
VGA Diamond HD2900XT
Radeon HD 2900XT
GeForce 8800GTX
GeForce 8800GTS
GeForce 8600GT

[BrontoX]

8800GTX (if you plan to get SLi then this is the better choice, but even without SLi this is the best).
HD2900XT only if you plan to get a crossfire motherboard.

I got a 7600GT AGP in December.

FEAR:
High FPS-
CPU - Max (3.2ghz Northwood)
GFX - High

Oblivion:
High FPS -
Medium-High (outside) - High(inside)

NFS Carbon
High FPS -
All GFX max, but no motion blur (annoying), res 1280x768.

Great card if you desperately need a decent upgrade.

[baumaxx1]

A 2900XT ATM for the best performance & Price (vs 8800GTS)... however...

Nvidia drivers will improve... and they have physics processing too. I'd go Nvidia 8800GTS(640mb) unless I had a Physics card already. You can OC them and they chew less power and heat less too. The 8800GTX and 8800ultra are unbeatble though.

OMGWOW! Learn how to use the "edit" button. =D

yay.

[BrontoX]

The new 8800GT is out and it beats the shiznit out of the 8800GTS just look at the attachment pic.

[Lan.Evo.III]

My card is so crap, it doesnt even make it on the list.

1 FPS on a single benchmark @ 1280x1024 is "beating the shiznit" out of the 8800 GTX ?

Sorry typo, i meant the GTS cuz the "Family Tree" should be GT< GTS <GTX < ULTRA but it seems it is GTS < GTX < GT/Ultra.

[PSZeTa]

It's clear that the GT stands above the GTS, but whether it's GT<GTX or GTX<GT isn't clear. The resolution is too low anyway.

Exactly ... No one in their right mind drops $500 on a GTX and plays at 1280x1024 ... Not to mention it's only 1 game ... and they're probably using an engineering sample as opposed to a retail sample ...

Until there are results at 1920x1080 or higher over a range of different games using different rendering engines, saying GT>GTX or GTX>GT is really moot ...

[Carcrazy]

The reason the res is so low is because they were trying to get the lower cards in there, and it also make the 8 series look much more powerful when compared to a 7- series.

[PSZeTa]

Pretty useless when we're looking for the performance gap between the highend cards.. The difference between a high-end 7-series card and a high-end 8-series card would be more significant on a higher resolution anyway.

[ravenclaw]

well a card NOT to buy, my gfx card, its poo, very poo, ati sapphire 9550 agp 4x 256 mg, shader model 2.0 a 4 geometric pipelines :S

[The Gravedigger]

shiznit?

Either way, I forget where I'd seen the fps scores for the card, but it did quite a bit better than the 640MB 8800GTS (which really... pisses me off... meh, I'll live with it and probably buy one myself, or 2 ) at really decent resolutions they were using for the test in F.E.A.R., PREY, etc..

Can someone give me tips or website links or recommened tools so i could overclock my graphics card, or just infomation about it since my graphics card is peeving me off & ive been hearing from my friends that they do it and it helps them out when playing games and stuff like that.

[YaelDjiel]

pretty sure you had a nvidia card... so -> Rivatuner
take care though, OC'ing is done at your own risk!

[race_invader]

Thanks YaelDjiel for that program. Own risk? hmm.. Well ill take that chance. thanks again.

[GINIX_2007]

I overclocked my old ATi Radeon 9200SE some time back! I got like 10-15 frames more out of it

[YaelDjiel]

np, if you need any help feel free to ask
its fairly simple though

Okay ive had a look around with the program, ah good thing you said that if i need help ask. Cause i need help.

[Lan.Evo.III]

Alright, I'm now in the market for a newer VC. But I dont need one that can end all, as I'm not an avid PC gamer.
Currently, I have a nVidia 7300LE 128MB. I'm just wondering if it is worse than the nVidia GeForce 8400GS 256MB. Or should I go with the nVidia GeForce 7600 GT 256MB?

[GINIX_2007]

I recomend the 8800 GT. They go for maybe $250-$299 or the 8600GT $150.
For me i'm waiting for the Radeon HD 3000 series They looking pretty good.
