IMO stick with what you have. You got a killer rig. If you want to REALLY run cooler, spend your $ on a watercooling setup from Petra's, not just a CPU that THEORETICALLY should put out less heat.

Bah! I got you beat! Non-overclocked XP 3000+ here :D My vid card could be a rice cracker and I'd still be CPU limited.

I say the 9700 Pro had the most staying power.

5 degrees is significant if you're overclocking.

Omega, cause the pwn. Everyone will tell u that.

Not really... They're Canadian, they can do anything.

But then again, if you're not sub-ambient, then you're not [H]. RIGHT GUYS?! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I have a sapphire card and I love it. Reliable as a rock. That's all I have to add.

QFT Voodoo pwnage.

Buy now before DX10 comes out and you're tempted to spend $2000 on a single graphics card.

X1900XT.

X1900XT 512MB

I'm sorry but the X850XT blows away a 6800GT. It even beats the 6800Ultra in most comparisons. Heck, my X800XT competes with a 6800Ultra.

I'm not arguing, I'm just seeing how worked up I can make this PRIME guy, he's hillarious :D ATI PWNZORZ!

+1 for Omega drivers.

Yep, but not dual CPU. That's my point. The 7950GX2 is not dual core.

If he's sweating over an extra $80, then he should not be considering an E6600. He should be looking at a E6300.

Really? Would you bench a dual CPU system vs. a single CPU system and call it valid? :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: You could do it for comparison sake, but that's it.

Exactly! And that's just stupid! Back in my day we neverused books and pencils, we wrote on cement slabs using our fingernails. Kids these days... no priorities...

The GX2 is a single card, but it's not a single GPU solution. So if you compare dual GPU from nvidia, to dual GPU from ATi, then that's the proper way of looking at it. You should not compare a GX2 to a board that just has 1 GPU. The only reason it's done in reviews is to show that ATi's single...

I just don't get it. You want to wait for it to drop like $80 bucks? I spend that much on a Friday night on booze alone. Why wait so long just to save $80 dollars? That doesn't make sense to me.

Get the X1900XTX. I've seen them as low as $280.

HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA I mean, yea, sure, you're right, definitely.

Too much AS5 dude.

RD600 will be great, if you can find a board with it. I'm guessing it's going to be rare.

Don't believe anything until they make an official statement.

X1900 crossfire is a pretty good buy right now.

Yes but when the 'next, better card' is a next generation card, then it is worth waiting for and refraining.

I say wait.

How good is powerstrip?

Agreed. I think the best option will be the RD600... unfortunetly it looks like the only place you'll be able to get one is from DFi, however that's not a bad thing cause IMHO they make the best motherboards.

I said this like 2 months ago. We need a sticky please.

Nah, I'm not 'always' gonna wait. Once I get my $1500 in January I'm gonna go out and buy the best of whatever is out there. I just don't think it's smart to buy now when next gen stuff is right around the corner.

We also get better pricing on Hallmark cards which say "To my cousin... sorry for having sex with you." ...oh crap, that's still USA only. DAMNIT!
