DNA February 29, 2008 Share DNA Member February 29, 2008 mhen i should get one but would it be worth the upgrade for me??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwEEziL February 29, 2008 Share dwEEziL Member February 29, 2008 (edited) I'm going from two 7800GTs in SLI mode to this. AND I get to just stick the 2 7800GTs back into the box I took them from when I built this one. My only issue now is whether I move my gaming rig to 64bit Vista. I'm currently running XP with 4GB of Ram (thanks to the vid cards and such, only about 3GB gets recognized). Now I'll be getting a DX10-capable card so I have a real reason to move to Vista. Also, I'm curious to see Crysis in DX10. Edited February 29, 2008 by dwEEziL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNA February 29, 2008 Share DNA Member February 29, 2008 Now the 9600gt cards are little cheap but have a few less stream processors but higher clock and core speeds...is the 8800 cards better or is the 9600 about the same just a little cheaper.. What are the 9600 cards for then?? So if I am going from one 7800 card to this that would be a big increase? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwEEziL February 29, 2008 Share dwEEziL Member February 29, 2008 I would have to say "yes", it would be a big increase. Can't give you specs though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DNA February 29, 2008 Share DNA Member February 29, 2008 so those new 9600gt OC are just as good as the 8800 or the more stream processors make a diff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VooDooPC February 29, 2008 Share VooDooPC Member February 29, 2008 I wonder if it's worth SLIing two 8800 GTXs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allanon February 29, 2008 Share Allanon Member February 29, 2008 I wonder if it's worth SLIing two 8800 GTXs. That's what I was wondering... I'll probably just wait and save my money for the new cards ... also my case doesn't have enough room for another one lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonfly March 1, 2008 Share dragonfly Member March 1, 2008 (edited) What are the 9600 cards for then?? So if I am going from one 7800 card to this that would be a big increase? The stream processors are quite important, so that is what is really limiting the card. I think the 9600s are to compete with ATI's cards (AMD I guess). Yeah, you'll notice a HUGE difference going to an 8800GT or GTS from the 7800. I went from a 7900GTX and I noticed a huge difference. And for Allanon and Voodoo, what could you possibly need 2 8800GTX's for? You have better cards than me and I dont need any extra power than what I have playing UT3, COD4, and Crysis looks just fine on high @ 1920x1200.

VooDooPC March 1, 2008 Share VooDooPC Member March 1, 2008 High? Pfft, Crysis looks like Farcry when it's only on High. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroDamage March 1, 2008 Author Share ZeroDamage Member March 1, 2008 The 8800gt is better than the 9600 gt. Keep that in mind when you are purchasing. The 8800gt is very close to the 8800gtx, within 5-10% performance. Sometimes closer due to the speed of the shaders being almost 100 higher than that of the gtx although there are 16 fewer.
