NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All hope is lost if you go to the evil AMD side!

btw what will you do with your current x800 XT PE if you get an x900 ?

Probably give my brother it, hes stuck with an 8500. Assuming i go for the upgrades, might just get more ram and stick out till next year or something.

ive been wanting to upgrade too, but if i want to upgrade to any new stuff, i have to get a new video card, cpu, and motherboard. snice my cpu is socket 940 and there are no other motherboards that support pci express with a socket 940 cry:

Upgradings getting to be a real pain in the arse. Intel, amd, ati\nvidia can all suck my balls. Intel and amd for changing their fucking sockets so much, and ati and nvidia for more or less trying to kill off agp before its even near past its prime with pci express. Only good thing about pce-e is the sli\crossfire setups, but these motherboards seem to be getting made in lga775 socket 939 exclusivly at the minute. cuss:

So to upgrade, new board, new cpu, then the upgrade i wanted of a new geaphics card. Fuckers. cuss: cuss:

Well ive seen some stuff on the nvidia 7800gtx or should that be the nvidia 6850-ultra. Slightly faster in games, bit faster in 3d mark..nothing really special about it at all besides this new antialiasing mode which antialiases alpha textures (like the railings in cod). Seems to be not much more than a refresh =/. Thats only from one translated site though, official reviews tomorrow.

Faster than SLIed 6800U is a bit faster? A review in Chinese that shouldn't have been released until tomorrow is no review I'd trust. Look at the specs. I double the speed of a 6800GT and it will probably beat 6800U SLI.

$600 card that beats $1000 in 6800Us... sounds good to me.


Edit: Not to mension the drivers... Remember that a X800 Pro beat the 6800U with the original drivers.

[geRV]

Well the drivers are entirely down to nvidia and their release schedule, and their fequency of releasing certified drivers pretty much blows compared to the drivers they like to release as "leaked beta's". If they release cack drivers and its shown in the reviews that kind of press can cause a lot of damage to a product through word of mouth alone on various forums. No real excuse for it though, if the performance is not upto par they should hold back till they have drivers that can cut the mustard.

The numbers ive seen for the 7800 are around 7900-8000 in 3dmark 2005, which obviously isn't faster than sli'd ultras.

Guess we'll see tomorrow what the story is though.

Well I am majoring in electrical engineering....

Well, putting in the ram and card was easy, the PSU was hard. It seems that my case is too small, by a fucking inch, so I had to bend and twist the metal in the back so I could actually fit in the new psu. Now the only trouble is, is if I close the case completely, the wires touch the CPU fan, so I will have to twist the frame into perfection.
