Yeah...I was just readin about that...but seriously...who buys a new card every 3 months???
Hell, I'm still running on my 7600GT and have my 6800GT layin in a box somewhere in my room
Ah, nice...I ended up going with the BFG 9800GT OC for $130AR from Buy.com. :)
Bastidges still haven't sent me a shipping notice though... :mad:

P.S...
Well right, but I was thinking more along the lines of changing RAM dividers vs CPU Multipliers, etc, based on my memory's and CPU's base speed. I know there are ratios for what these things need to stay at, I'm just not sure what they are.
If I give you guys the specific specs you need for my system, do you think you could help me figure out what I can overclock to? I've been reading some guides, but thus far haven't made any real progress...
Can anybody tell me approximately how much a performance difference I would see between these two awesome deals? I'm pretty much sold on BFG, now I just wanna know if its worth it to drop an additional $20 on something I might be able to do myself. :D...
My God but that heatsink is HUGE. :eek: Anybody have any experience with this card and know whether it can fit into anything smaller than a semi-trailer?
Yeah, I've got a 22" widescreen running at 1680x1050.
From what I've been reading, the 9600GT gives better performance than the 8800GT 256MB and only slightly worse performance than the 8800GT 512MB for quite a bit less money.
Would you still recommend going with the 8800GT over the...
Hi,
I'm getting ready to overhaul my computer to be able to play current generation games (such as Crysis) and was wondering, without upgrading my motherboard, CPU, and memory, what is the cheapest way to get there. Here's my current setup:
AMD Athlon 4200+ x2 Dual Core CPU
Asus A8N-SLI...
Thanks for the helpful replies guys.
After considering my options, I think I'll start off with the 4200+ I found on eBay and overclock it. Then when I have some cash in a few months go for the 8800GT.
Thanks again for the help.
Brian
Well, it's not a 4800+, but it's the most reasonable dual-core 939 chip I could find.
