So, I've had a question on my mind for a while now. We all know how game changing the 8800 GT was for the masses. It would have been even more game changing if pricing stayed where nVIDIA claimed it would be. Sadly a $250 price at launch wasn't... quite the case. Still, it basically made everything but the 8800 GTX obsolete. At least, until memory constraints became apparent. That said, what is the case when you take two of the last single slot consumer GPUs from nVIDIA and stick them with a Q9450 with low latency DDR2 and a RAID0 array to back it up? What about throwing an E8600 in the mix in lightly threaded titles? You may think this is old ground, but you didn't get to see in reviews how these cards would fare 2-4 years down the line. There is another angle I would like to look at...
What about two of the fastest GPUs of the previous generation, the 7900 GTX? Will the previously unavailable CPUs help these older cards shine to at least meet the performance of one G92 GPU?
More to come...
