Heya I bought an Antec Earthwatts 430W along with my 8800GS. It's VERY quiet and I think you will be very pleased with it :D... got it for $60 but it would be $30 after a MIR. It does make some strange noises from time to time but I don't think it's nothing too concerning.

Well I don't know how ATI got by with a single slot cooler for the HD 4850 one of my friends has really good airflow in his case and it got as high as 89C... be bought an aftermarket cooler from Newegg and it dropped as much as 30C. Stock coolers are pretty bad IMO. My 8800GS goes as high as...

In notebookcheck they seem to be pretty even. I would like to side on the 8800 but given the circumstances a 9600GT will beat the living crap out of a 8800GS so I guess it's similar with the 9700 and 8800. The 9700 only has 48 shaders whereas the 8800 as 64.

I was actually thinking about getting this but in the end decided it was too small and un-upgradable in the future. I don't think there's a problem with the PSU at all there was a review at PC mag on a a6460t tower similar to what I have except it had a 8400GS, a TV tuner, and a Quad Core and it...

If you sent in the MIR that only means you can't RMA it to Newegg if that's what you're wondering. The original manufacturer can handle it for you. Make sure you never get a card from Sapphire... when I got my Sapphire HD 3650, a day after I sent in my rebate the fan started to buzz. I...

The 8800GS part or that my GS is running faster than the broken HD 4850 or that it can actually run Lost Coast at 101.15fps with 4x fsaa and 8x af? :p According to what AZN said his HD 4850 should be blowing my 8800GS out of the water at 190fps. A 90 fps difference can't be justified as a...

Hey all, new here :D There is something definitely wrong with your 4850. I just ran the bench myself at 1680x1050 @ 4x MSAA / 8x AF. I got 101.15fps on a GeForce 8800GS. There is something definitely wrong with your vid card.
