    Q6600 or wait for Nehalem to get cheaper?

    Likely not as i7 isn't buyable yet. I would seriously consider if you need a new computer right now. Does your current machine fail to perform? I know my Opteron @ 2.6ghz still pulls very playable frame rates in that awful benchmark known as crysis. Its still a faster rig than 90% of the people...

    8800GT @ PCIe x8

    Anandtech did crossfire tests on P965 asking exactly that. Technically SLI won't work on that board without outdated, hacked drivers.

    8800GT @ PCIe x8

    AMDZen, Thanks for running these tests and confirming my thoughts! I really think we are cpu bound, considering anand is cpu bound on Crysis with a quad @3.3 and 3 8800Ultra's (yeah, that test rig is insane but so is the cost/performance ratio). I'm looking at better cooling to push for...

    Need help deciding video card

    That is completely incorrect doclife. The HD3850 in all flavors is just as fast, if not faster, than the 8800GT 256mb version. The 8800 needs 512mb to make a very good showing (which it does, I have one). Trouble is, the 8800GT is overpriced (well, all the cards are overpriced atm). For anything...

    8800GT goes to 11 hours on ATI tool until error WITHOUT overclock...

    My card does the same thing (fails ATITool artifact scanner after several hours) basically with fan set at 74% and temperatures never breaking 75 under ATITool. In essence, I don't trust ATITool on these cards, since my temperatures are more than reasonable and it still fails. You are just...

    8800GT falls apart at 8XAA

    I will end this argument right now. In the older titles you claim people are going to be running 8x AA and 16x AF, both cards are going to produce playable framerates (read: look at the HL2:Episode 2 benchmarks) all the way through 1920x1200 with the AA and AF maxed out (for the most part), in...

    Do you have a Desktop, a Laptop, or both? (POLL)

    1. Homebuilt desktop (rig in sig). 2. HP/ Compaq nx9010, falling apart with p4 @2.6 (= a lap burn, wtf were intel thinking?), 40 gb hd (dying if not dead), 512mb ram. 3. Planned purchase: Dell XPS M1530 notebook-I want small and light but can't stand small screens after staring at my 22"...

    To clarify: Crysis timedemo, average of the three scripted runs, all settings on medium, 1680x1050,rest of rig in sig. A) 8800GTS, 163.75 drivers, x16, 612 core/1600 shaders/900 memory, min of 25fps, max of 40fps, average of 32 fps. B) 8800GT, 169.02 drivers, x8, 675 core/1674 shaders/950...

    8800GT @ PCIe x8

    My numbers in Crysis, all settings at medium, 1680x1050: 8800GTS 320mb (x16) (163.75): Average of around 32 FPS 8800GT (169.02): Average of 47 FPS Thats a 15 fps increase. Yes, the GT drivers are newer but...

    8800GT @ PCIe x8

    I will have to say I agree with the other posts over at DIY-Street. I don't think there is a drop so to speak, considering this card is much more CPU limited by our dual core AMD processors than by the available PCIe bandwidth. If it helps, I am running my card in the bottom slot, x8 (same exact...

    EVGA STEPUP: 8800GTS 320MB to 8800GT 512mb or 8800gts 512mb?

    The GTS offers very little tangible benefit over the GT (for purposes of this discussion we will completely ignore the old GTS series, by GTS I mean G92 gts)-at stock clocks, the GTS gives you an extra 5fps in demanding titles such as Crysis at demanding resolutions like 1920x1200. At 1680x1050...

    *** 8800GTS 512MB VS. 8800GT 512MB ***

    I upgraded (through eVGA step-up program) my 8800GTS 320mb to the 8800GT 512mb. I knew the "new" 8800GTS 512 was coming but my step-up was ending, so I didn't have a choice. Here are some things based on Anandtech's latest review (which I pretty much fully agree with, the 8800GT is still the...

    Good cheap upgrade; what do you think?

    What zalman 7700 do you have? My Zalman 7700 AlCu was hotter on a single core AMD64 3000+ @1.8ghz and 1.4v, full speed fan, mounted probably 3 times total (it was mounted properly, I am meticulous when it comes to cables and fans) than my Opteron 165 @ 2.7ghz with 1.3 volts and the stock amd 2...

    BFG OC 512 MB 8800GT Fan Speed

    Rivatuner supports any driver out there, just not "offically" (I mean, this is freeware we are talking about, nothing is ever offical), meaning it will give you a warning the first time you run it with drivers that it doesn't technically know about. Not a problem, but I'm still using 169.02 as...

    Don't laugh, I'm finally going to upgrade from my x850

    If you can A) afford it, and B)its available, I would say you would be better off spending the money on an ATI HD3850 ($180 in stock at newegg: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...ion=HD3850%5C&x=0&y=0). It FAR outclasses anything below it. Else, if your stuck at $100, your basically looking at...

    GTX vs. EVGA 8800GT SC - 3DMark06 and Crysis 1920x1200

    Yeah, thats because even the 8800GTX can't handle those settings and get decent FPS!

    8800gt price cut confirmed?

    That's not entirely correct. I was just at a nVidia PR session. Yes, there is a shortage. nVidia didn't underestimate the demand for the 8800GT, TSMC can't physically produce more chips-nVidia is wafer limited at TSMC (as is ATI), meaning if they increase the size of the chip, they have to...

    2x 8880gt 700mhz in SLI or 8800 Ultra Superclocked?

    Thats why I said most :). I would get the KO version and be done with it-25mhz on the core isn't a big deal. The bigger deal is the memory-after bios analysis on the SSC, it was found that they (eVGA) are running looser memory timings on the SSC to get higher memory clocks. Anyway, that site is...

    8800GT - Dimensions?

    As in barely fitting. My 8800GTS barely fits, the power cable has to make a 90 degree bend to fit in between the card and the front drive cage (somewhat cheap Raidmax).

    Socket 939 motherboards still being made?

    you need an Evercool VC-RE. Better than the stock heatsink, lowered my temps 5 degrees and idle and load are now basically the same. This is with a 300mhz fsb speed and an 8800GTS sitting right on top of it. Also, DFI Lanparty's are considered enthusiast motherboards-what that means is as soon...

    Overclocking Issues with AMD 4200+ AM2

    Umm, I will have to disagree with the statement that sleep mode can't be used while overclocking. I accidentally hit sleep in vista the other day on my rig (in signature) and it went into sleep mode perfectly, and resumed perfectly. Now, I will say that when i was running my OCZ Gold (BH-5) with...

    Been asked many times, but another on temp readings...

    I would go with the coretemp readings, which have proven to be rather accurate across a broad range of systems (aka, anything that supports coretemp, the key is this program reading directly off the cpu, thus the motherboards temp diode doesn't matter). I would be concerned with those load...

    Overheating Advice

    I think some a/c for the room would be a good option as well...you can lower the cpu multi's and all the voltages as far as they will go, but there comes a point where even that fails if the environment is too hot.

    Dual core cpu upgrade for socket 939

    Pick up an Opteron 165 for $100 and be done: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16819103588 Clock it to 2.7+ and you'll be set for 6+ months IMO. Otherwise you are looking at $300+ for a C2D board and processor, plus another $100 for ram (which is dirt cheap imo). Edit: just saw...

    How decent is this setup?

    Umm, did you guys miss the Corsair HX520 he picked out? That, and its sibling, the HX620, are arguably the best psu's on the market for anything other than an 8 core machine with 8800Ultra's in SLI (and the HX620 CAN power that system, is it recommended for 24/7 use? probably not).

    This about sums it up:http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3047&p=7 Get the 8600GT....this round of AMD/ATI cards is mediocre imo (not that the nvidia cards are stellar).

    HD2600XT: GDDR3 vs GDDR4

    I wouldn't buy it; the lowest DX10 card I'd touch is an 8600GTS, and even then there is better value in the X1950 based offerings. These "midrange" DX10 cards are pathetic w/ todays drivers and DX10 games.

    XCLIO GOODPOWER 500W - Good/bad ?

    I have a lightly loaded single core AMD64 system running on an XClio no problem. Angry_Games has used one for a C2D+8800GTS rig, heavily overclocked, just fine. My opinion is the XClio is the best bang for the buck 500 watt psu available.

    Are Core2 MB compatible with WIN98/XP dual boot?

    You may have driver problems with Windows 98. However, MANY drivers that are compatible with XP are also 98 compatible. Its been years since I've even installed 98, never mind used it, so I would look at the hardware manufacturers websites to see if a driver exists.

    Will NVidia 8800 refresh bring PureVideo HD to the high end cards?

    I would agree with the comments posted above in that if you have an 8800 series card you probably don't NEED full HD decode ability, because the rest of the system is plenty fast enough (or it should be, otherwise you can mail me your card). However, I think what many people are concerned with...

    Chipset fan dying on my DFI nF4 SLI DR

    I have the replacement fan sitting right here on my desk, because they drop 10 degrees C off the stock cooler (important when pushing 315mhz+ on the HTT). The fan you want is an Evercool VC-RE. You have to remove the board from the case to install (hence the reason mine is on my desk and not on...
