The 280 beats the pants off of the 8800. Where is the surprise? The 8800 was a great card, but it's two generations old at this point.

I wouldn't touch Asus with a ten foot pole after what I'm dealing with on my current board. They suck, their forums are slow, and suck. My 650i ultra, however, was sweet in every friggin way.

I think it's either one of two things: 1. get all brand new, top of the line cards, sli/crossfire them, and be able to play any game maxed/eye candy. 2. You HAD a good gaming rig......2 years ago, and instead of dropping another 2 grand on a new kick ass rig, you buy a matching video...

Sorry, they don't work.

I've heard they are good overclockers so it might be worth it to get the el cheapo model. But don't they bind these so that you can't get a huge oc out of them? I have an 8800gt ssc, so it's factory oc'ed, but I was able to oc it even further. When I had the vanilla version, it didn't oc...

Your 3dmark score is low for a 280. Waaayyyy low. A 260 equals two 8800gt's in most cases.

Yeah, I've got a 260 sitting at dell that won't ship til the 6th...:mad:

Vista is on the up and up, XP is on the down and out. 64 bit anyway.

Wow, you must have a lot of money to blow. Very nice.

Hopefully a 260 can run this 1650 x 1080 with decent settings and still look and play good.

So I jumped on the PNY 260 deal from dell, but it isn't going to ship until 10-6!! I have a 24 inch screen, but I game at 1680 x 1050. I'm worried a tad about future proofing though, so I was wondering if the extras two hundred and forty bucks is worth if for the 280. Oh, and do you think...

Yeah, I think it can go either way. If the person you are speaking too is a douche bag, it doesn't matter what you do. The trick is to find out quickly whether or not the person you're speaking with is a douche bag. If they are, hang up and try again. If they are nice, suck their dick.

Yeah, something is going on with dell. I ordered two things from them, one, on the 19th that was suppose to ship on the 23th, which now dell is saying will ship on the 30th. And the other, they say isn't going to ship until 10-6. I might just call up to bitch and see if I can't get some...

I've got a silicone case for it now, but I don't like how it feels in my pocket so I want a nice clear case. I know apple have the agent 18, but the reviews on apples own site says the thing splits apart when you drop it.

Love my iPhone way too much.

People like you are funny (and not business majors). ;)

It's possible, but I haven't touched my 360 in about 6 months. PC I game on every single day for at least an hour. Of course, With GoW2 coming out, I'll play that, but how long with it last, 4 days? Then my 360 will sit until the next FPS that is console only comes out. Just my 02

You can pick up a PNY 260 for about $200 from dell.com right now. No reason to get a 9 series with deals floating around like that. If you're really bent on avoiding the 200 series though, I have a 8800gt that is actually pretty kick ass. :D

oops, my bad.

EVGA 8800gt ssc edition, 3 weeks old, all accessories and original box. How much should I be asking for this thing? Thanks! :D

Thanks guys, that is what I figured.

I just ordered a 260 and I have a few questions. 1. Should I keep my 8800gt and use it as physics card? The reason I ask is my board (asus p5k/epu) has two pcie slots, but according to the manual only 1 runs at 16, and the other runs at 4. So obviously the 260 will go in the 16x slot...

It's the fact that these greedy, cocksucking companies don't want you to resell YOUR game after you are done with it. They don't give a fuck about piracy, because they know they can't stop it. They just want to make it a little harder so your average joe blow doesn't do it. This 3 limit...

DHL fucking blows. They delivered something to my house one day, and the very next day they failed to deliever something else because tehy said they couldn't find my house. Then, they said I couldn't come to the facility on the first delivery attempt. After talking to several managers they...

from dell on sale for $199, so I'm stoked about that, but I have a question. Can I just pull out my EVGA 8800gt, leave the drivers, and put in the PNY 260? I know the manufacturer shouldn't make a difference, but should I do it as a "better safe than sorry" type thing?

weird, I have to uncloak before I can backstab someone.

zero problems here.

I think the game was great, actually, so even if it was 20 hours long I'd still complain that it was too short lol.

Hey did prove you wrong, with a big ass pic. How big of a bad loser/baby are you that you'd start your own thread just to cry about how "right" you are. Get over it and get a life.

You have no brains. He linked you the pic, from an article, in a reputable mag in which the main guy talks about the very machine. Admit you got owned.

Exactly. The last time I did it, I overnighted them my card, which I will be doing again.

THIS!! Oh so much this. A holodeck that one could build in ones house, in a spare room, and program anything they wanted for it. I'd never leave the house!

Lol, to some of the people in this thread.....lol indeed. Anyway, the game is still cool, and I got it to play decently by adjusting some settings, which is really all I wanted. When I max out everything and just stand there, it does look really amazing though. Hopefully the aliens...

How does it feel to run your mouth and then get owned?

Thank you and goodnight.

You aren't very bright, are you? Please quote and refresh us all where, in any of my posts, did I expect to run this game on enthusiast settings. So you are putting words into my posts. Secondly, I've read a couple of reviews in which the writer played the game with a 8800gt and said it...

Excuse me? I have to put it on mainstream at 1280 x 1024 to get it to run smoothly. You need to get facts and then a clue before you go assuming.

Of course it is running good for you, you've got 2 280's. Does look good though...

Then you'd be a douche. You ban cheaters first, period. They are the problem. He wouldn't be bitching if someone else wasn't breaking the rules. People like you always get on my nerves....

I actually think it is easier to kill the enimes, which I like. What I don't like is how I have to set it to 1280 x 1024, and mainstream settings to get it to be playable on my oc'ed evga 8800gt ssc....
