I just noticed the lower section of the bench results.

Seems to perform lower at that test >_>

I thought so.

Obvious perfomance improvements at high resolution.

Going to buy the GF 8800GT or GTS.

GT = €160

GTS=€200

Wich card will provide the best perfomance for my money?

Are these cards almost equal in perfomance? I'm going to buy one today specificly for Age of Conan. Going to sell my 3850 256mb card.

I play my games on a resolution of 1680x1050.

Do you think its worth it to dish out the €40 extra for the GTS version?

XFX8600GT

This card requires PCIe 16x does it not? I assume its compatible then.

Sports games in general.

The biggest launch in intertainement history had absolutely no shortages at all. More investment into bigger production doesn't take a whole **** 2 years.

I apreciate your effort to create such a long thread. I don't want to get disrespectfull. But damn.... those prices are insane mate.

I live in the EU myself, and hardware prices are even more expensive here. But still I managed to build a rig that maxes Crysis on Highest settigns possible at 1680x1050. For the price of 700 euro's. With custom Zalman coolers... custom neon lights and high quality case.

Highest settings possible, and 1680x1050 without a single hitch. Everything runs perfect.

700 euro's is aproximately 1000 USD... but due to overpriced hardware in EU. You can build yourself an equal rig for about 850 USD or even less.

And having seen the American version of mario-kart commercials just a few minutes ago. If that is how Nintendo wants their marketing department to achieve good sales, then I think the Wii completely deserves games like this.

You love those commercials because you view your childhood days trough rose tinted glasses. The human mind mostly reminds the positive memories.

I enjoyed the NES as much as any other gamer, but games back then were far from perfect. If you know the Angry Videogame Nerd, you'l know what I mean.
