It looked good for a while, but now it looks like crap. Guess I'll save another $50 or so and get a 8800 gts. I'll need a new power supply however. What is a good power supply for around $75 doesn't need anything special, just around 500 watts.
So you own it and you're complaining? Oh wait, you don't own it? So your opinion is worthless? ;) But yeah, I wouldn't get a Vid Card that isn't an 8800 series card if the money isn't too big an issue, but that's just me. Unless you're patient and can wait for forever and a day for DIAMAT's offering.

Patience isn't my fortay, personally, but good for you! :)

Okay i got it. I dont know why it ook me to a TT page for newegg.com. After reading some on it and some reviews. It seem slike a 7/10 PSU. The TT is good, but its not overly exciting. The Toughpower series is there best series.Â
This is the PSU you want in your price range. FSP is a great PSU company and in that range there, I would trust them first.Â
Well, guess I won't be getting any GTS this year. I've almost hit my budget for upgrading, as I have to use evga's step up. The 8600GTS is $219, compared to the $150 I paid for my GS, making the total $70. Darn. Too much. THe only thing going for it is it's low temps and good OC's.
I was just reading the Guru3.com review, and is it just me, or does the GTS kinda suck compared to the x1950pro, and the 7900GS which it is supposed to replace...

The 8800gts is around the power of a 7800gt it looks like.

I was reading on the Evga step up forums, and all the people who complained about their missing cards all got their problem fixed. Just don't lie about how much the original card was..y'know?
id still wait to see what ati has in store. the 8800s will still be here if it turns out they suck too, but from all we've heard, they shouldnt be as much of a dissapointment.

My computer would badly bottleneck the 8800 gts... maybe I should just buy an 8600 gts. I just want something that can play dx10 games... not at any outrageous resoultions of aa anf af. I think the 8600 gts might be fine. This is so confusing for me, and I'm guessing all of you guys too. I think we should let this thread die. I need time to think.
I'm starting to think the 8600GTS isn't that bad of a deal. It won't do some of the stuff that the high end cards can, but it's got a massive 2k mem clock, compared to my 8800's 1.6k clock.... ;) and the oc'd one is at 2.1k...I think it's a pretty decent deal for 200 bucks, actually, considering I paid nearly twice that when I got my 640MB 8800GTS -_-
Haha what a pos. Been working a lot lately, first I'm seeing of the legit reviews. Sure does make me glad I'm working a lot and can now afford the r600.

[QUOTE="Staryoshi87"]I'm starting to wish I would have saved 400 or so bucks on my system by going a bit more midrange...It stinks to be medium-high end =Pel_carl
It sucks to be 14 with a $20 amonth income :(
Add 6 to your age and about 480 bucks to that income and you've got the part-time working college student you're talking to now ;)
Yeah... Since I am on such an limited income, I've been stuck with intergrated ati x200 garphics since christmas... :( Don't ask why I didn't buy a gpu then... I was still a little pc nooblet.
for me the 8600 gt is pretty much where i expected, somewhat around 7900gs performance but much lower power consumption. its pretty much the only upgrade i can get from my 6800 since i'm using the stock 305w dell psu.

It serves you guys right for hyping the 8600 cards endlessly without really knowing anything about them. What were you really expecting from 128-bit cards anyway? It looks like they aren't signifcantly better than the X1950Pro and 7900GS they are designed to replace, other than that they support DX10, and are actually worse in games that stress memory bandwidth. I'll reserve judgement on the R600 for when it's out, but something being this heavily delayed is usually a bad sign.
On another note, I'm glad I bought my 8800GTS back in early February. It's looking more and more like my impatience paid off.
Indeed, age means nothing, you can find ways to earn $100 in 2 months, no, a month if you try hard.
 A 8600GT can probably OC to GTS speeds for a budget card, so give that a shot imo. I'm waiting until DX10 games actually come out though to save plenty of green and face.
Here's an idea, go sell stuff. Or go ask your neighbors to let you mow their lawns. And to YourOldfriend, I hope you recover so you can go back to da Gamespot more often. =))))
Regarding cmdrmonkey....hyping the 8600? What the fsck do you call all the hype here about the radeon cards? -_- I don't think there has been much hype since the rumor of an 8600 Ultra was dispelled, just a lot of questions.

he's right, it was over hyped for no apparent reason. people thought it would outperform the likes of 7900 series. Serves them right!Â
