If you were going to build the best gaming tower? ($1700 budget)

sorry dude. ok the r3/4/5 is the code name for the diffrent generations of ati GPU. the x is for the model, for example, a radeojn 800 XT was r420, whilst the x850XT is r480. so, r3xxs series cards are: 9500/pro 9600/pro/xt 9700/pro and 9800/pro/xt r4xx ( ati confuses even me with all...

SATA vs. IDE

i considered the raptor, but the i realisesd the diamon max 10 gave me the 200Gb of space for £5 more than the 36GB raptor, yet only slightly slower. I think the raptors price per GB is VERY disprapotionate to the actual diffrence you will see performance wise. karlos

no your right, it is above the 6800NU. However, going on my own personal experiance, x800 pron is around the same price, in fact, MORE expensive than the GT in my country ( UK ). NoT good IMHO. as for the doom 3 jibe, yes, doom 3 isnt in the same league as HL2, doom 3's performance is far...

Going from R360 9800 Pro TO either a x800 Pro or 6800GT

maybe its just me but i really dont like the x800 pro. its not cause its ATI, i actually think that although the nv 40 architecture is technicaly better than r420, r 420 is still really very good, and the sheer clock speed of the x800 -xt and above power trough 3d graphics really well. i had a...

ATi cards are ahead significantly in Halflife 2 over Nvidia cards

So ok the 6800 ultra gets beat by up to 22% by the x800 XT (no PE ) from what i have read on some internet sites. bear in mind that this is with 8x AF and 4x FSAA @ 1600x1200, and without the FSAA things ar a lot more in line. Things look even worse for nvidia by the fact that the 6800GT, a...
