Haha, thanks for all the advice guys. I went with the 285 and hopefully won't look back. I FINALLY found a good chart that compared the two cards later in their cycles on Warhead (turned the internet upsidedown to find it), and it sold me on the GTX. Although the 4850x2 apparently does better in...

Damn, alright. Considering I have an 8800GT as my current card and I don't want to regress or anything, I just went and bought the GTX. Fingers crossed for awesome.

Why's that? Is it because of that microstutter thing I've heard about? Sounds awful.

Yeah but Call of Juarez basically sucks anyways. So I can take it that there's no real consensus on this issue then? And what about the 4890? I'm looking at benches on that and it seems suspiciously good. I don't understand how Radeon can sell these cards for so cheap if indeed they are as...

Hey [H], I just bought a new 23" monitor, which boasts an awesome 1920x1080 resolution. A serious step up from my 19" 1280x1024, and I'm very happy with it. However, my 8800GT is no longer cutting it, and it's time for an upgrade. There's a pretty good deal on this Zotac 285GTX, factory...

I'm fairly certain I'm getting enough power, I have a Corsair 520HX or whatever that thing is called. I get a slight performance increase OC'd (really slight, considering how poorly it clocks), and I get a fair increase in 3dmark. I can OC way higher if I don't bother with the occasional...

I think I must have the worst clocking 8800GT in the world. I have the vanilla version, and the best stable clocks I could get that were stable in atiTool and (most) gaming are 661 core, 1645 shader, 943 memory. Anything higher will cause eventual artifacting in atiTool. I've tested said clocks...

Forget you all, I'm still trying to crack the mythical SIX THOUSAND! :O

Ah, nice. I see ClubIT has the G0 in stock (finally!), so I'll probably grab it soon. Still haven't decided on an HSF though :(

Ah, thanks guys. I guess I'll probably end up going with the Tuniq, but I think it's going to be a while before I have enough cash to build this thing anyways, heh. Does anybody know if newegg is only stocking G0 steppings now? That would suck to finally buy one and get a B3 and have to pay...

Ah, great. Thanks a bunch.

Hello all! Anyways, I'm in the planning phases of a new rig I plan to build. CPU is going to be a Q6600 G0, and I'm going to try to hit 3.6 with this thing. Anyways, that leads me to my next question: which heatsink should I get? From what I gather, the TRUE is probably the best Air Cooler if...
