Either this guy is psychic and can see in to the future... or he's a complete dick. Believe me, you don't have to be psychic to guess which one I'm thinking ;)

Your artifacts are due to your graphics card being essentially... knackered. Either it's getting too hot or your powersupply has knackered it, I can't say, but either way, that is a graphics card problem for certain.

He does realise the X1800XT gets pussy whipped by the GTX doesn't he???

I'm really thinking about getting an X2, how much did you spend on the chip? Do you think it was worth the money? Also what were you upgrading from? One more thing... get overclocking!!!

That's BS. If anything they both overclock similarly, while you might get a P4 to 4.4GHz, you can get the Athlons to 3GHz. Say you were using a 3.2GHz chip to get the 4.4G that's an improvement of 37.5% And if you take a 2.2 GHz Athlon and OC it to 3GHz that's a 36.4% improvement, either way...

You make it sound like a bad thing?! I agree they could make faster but the added complexity is not worth it, at the moment they're dealing with cards that have between 8 and 10 layers, with twice the number of traces to memory that's going to cause some serious problems!

I'm dying to get my hands on the 8800GTX! I'll kick the crap out of the G70 no problem, 64 pipes! Wow! </crack>

Well ok maybe not in a couple of weeks, but still reasonably soon. I think both companies are going to try and have products available to buy soon after the launch unlike last time. I've heard from a different forum (overclockers.co.uk) which is also an online retailer that they will be for sale...

Why don't you wait a couple of weeks and get a G70 (next gen nvidia card) which will be as powerful it not more powerful than 2 6800Us in SLI. Then you can sell your 6800... or seeing as you have so much money to spend anyway, you could just give it to me for coming up with such a great idea! :D

While I'm sure one card will be faster than the other in certain benchmarks and vice versa, the difference will be marginal - I personally have no need for an NV40 or R480 at the moment because I only play at 1024 but even so the difference at 1600 with these new cards should be pretty small -...

While that might be true for some people on this board, I really don't think it matters, they can go with whatever card they like, no to mention that both cards are probably going to be similar in performance anyway, it just depends if you prefer red or green PCBs.

Exactly, the Quadros have been doing it for ages.

I'm selling this console because I won the thing but have no use for it as I prefer propper resolutions! I don't think I have the box anymore, but all the console's been doing is sitting around collecting dust, but that can be sorted out pretty easily! There's a standard xbox controller...

Remember if you do upgrade your video card that the PCI-E standard will be the only thing for high end cards reasonably soon, so if you are planning on upgrading your CPU then you might want to do that first and get on the PCI-E bandwaggon with a new motherboard then you won't be limited by card...

I can see it being a good thing; however that's only if it's done properly. If Ads are incorporated then it really does give the developers much more money to play with, which should mean that the overall quality of the game will be higher. HOWEVER, I can see it being somewhat of a viscous...
