Alrighty guys got another question. I have a decent rig its E6300 at 2.81 3gigs COrsair XMS2 ddr2 800, Biostar Tforce P965 mobo, 7900GS, COrsair 520w.
Im ready to upgrade video card. Can my psu handle the 8800GTX? Pretty Sure it can but just wanna make sure. It has 3x18a rails. I am debating between the two. Is the GTX going to future proof me alot longer that the GTS willor just a little?? THanx in advance
wow thanks guys for all the replies. To answer why i am sick of the 7900GS its because i want max everything and old betsy just cant do it anymore. It was a great card but her time is over. I want to get a nwere card and im still debating between nvidia and ati. I have had both but most have been nvidia also im am a huge bfg fan but if i do decide to get a 8800 should i save my money and get evga or stay with bfg if i got the money to spend also if i go ati shouldnt i go with sapphire? thats what ihad before when i had the x800GTO. I just want one of the most future proof icards for the money. This is a hard one I know the specs of ati is alot better but i sure wish i could see the future and see if the 2900's are going to be better than the 8800 after better drivers. Answer all you can g uys thanks alot.
edit: also i know there double the signaling throughput (2.5GT/s up to 5GT/s). but is pci e 2.0 really going to be that great?
I thought the 2900XT had to many driver problems i know by its specs its alot better but from what benchmarks ive seen kinda terd. But uu guys know what your talkin about so ill give it a try thanx alot! O also what is ur guys opnion on my computer lasting very long in today fast paced technology? THink i twill last another year?
I like th sig about the free card. LOL... Anyways well i just didnt know because eventually i planned on upgrading to a 22" so i didnt know if you guys thought i would be worth the extra $70 and just bite the bullet or not really. Also you guys think my rig will last awhile in todays and next gen gaming? Also those are good cards right "evga"?
Ok my current rig is E6300 at 2.8, 3GB Corsair XMS2 DDR2 800, Biostar p965 mobo, BFG 7900GSOC, Corsair 520w PSU 3x18amp rails. I am really debating between these two and i was wanting all yours guys opnion. Please help. oh also i have a 19" wodescreen.
