how will this run today's games?
 
It should run everything great! Just out of curiosity...why get an SLi board then not go with nVidia?
 
probably just likes the board. plus its nice to have a few extra features just in case.

ahh and very nice rig. i just put one together for a friend, same exact thing but with an Ultra
 
Looks Nice Man! :)


Only thing I can think of is more Ram. Even 1Gig is low these days :(
 
If you're talking about the X800 and not the X800 XL or X800 XT or X800 Pro, then you have a card that is less powerful than the 6600 GT according to what I've seen on the cdrinfo.com web site. I think it's equivalent to the 9800 Pro (not sure, but one is PCI-E and the other AGP if I remember correctly).
Anyway, for the price, I'd say it's a good choice because you're talking the minimum to run this year and next year's games.
It still remains to be seen how tomorrow's games will perform with dual core processors. But eventually I think we'll all be forced to upgrade to dual core.

that's what i was thinking as well. also it seems like having no less than a gig of memory is the standard in gaming these days.
 
Yea i would have gone with 1 gig of memory but my money ran out :(, but overall i think its a preatty good system. Are their any benchmarks comaring the 6600gt vs the Vanilla X800?
 
Everytime I see a "My new system" thread...I think I'm gonna see pictures. When am I gonna learn :confused:


Looks like a nice system though....I mean the type...you know, the words I didnt mean nice pics cuz **cough** there arent any :(
 
Don't get that ram. You will need 1Gb. Get value pc3200. Here's some good stuff:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820218060 (get 2)

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820227204 (get 1 because it's a twin pack)

Either of these can be run at high voltages (which your dfi board supports) to give good timings and speeds for less than usual. If you think it might be over your head technically, then get the second thing, because it is guarenteed to perform at 3.2-3.4v (hence the slight price premium over the twinmos), hopefully you can afford it.

^^^ What he said. (Emphasis mine....)

I would choose a 6600GT or a plain 6800 over the X800 in this case. Either that, or get a non-SLi board....
 
Thanks for all your replies guys. I was about to buy an Leadtek 6600 gt pci express gddr3 128mb, but i saw the sapphire radeon x800 256mb 256bit. Are their any benchmarks which compare the vanilla 6800 and the vanilla x800? thanks.

No offense, but um...why dont you just do a "Google" :confused: more than likely any answers you get will be the result of others doing just that.

I'm just wondering...I mean is there a NEW way to get information off the web?
 
The advantage to buying a 6600GT? For about $70 more than the X800, you can get 2 6600GT's and SLI them together. If you can't swing that now...get one, save the $75+ and get you one in a few months.

A 6800NU PCI-e would be a nice way to go as well.
