Get a Voodoo 1 so you can play Jedi outcast at 640!!!


wait its 2007 not 1997..

Ya get a a 8800 640 from evga.

 

[Munky]

Like other have said, get the 8800gts. However, surprisingly the card seems to have gone up in price recently. I remember seeing a bunch for under $350 a few weeks ago, and now they're all almost $400.

 

[lolper]

well im getting a e6600

where did you see that video card for like 300?

 

[GundamSonicZeroX]

Another vote for the 8800GTS 640MB.

 

[renozi]

Make that six votes for evga 8800gts! i got mine when it was $340 with $30 rebate! AND they sent me a SC! can't argue with paying less for more!

 

[lolper]

i think im gonna get that but where is thr cheapest plac to get one?

 

[renozi]

OMG you're right prices have really gone up on them! guess you have to wait.

Yep. It really is, sadly. No options whatsoever except "evga or bfg?".

 

[lolper]

[HeXploiT]

[lolper]

It does if warranty and customer service matter to you.

Read the system requirements for the card you want. They do take a considerable amount of power and you'll want a quality power supply.

Except that Jedi Outcast was released in 2002-2003? Now a 7600GS can get 125 fps at max settings, old games are so wonderful.

prices drop again!

 

[lolper]

is this a good but howw does it compare to evga?

 

[yuppiejr]

EGVA has a better warranty (lifetime versus 3 years with Leadtek) - both are based on the reference Nvidia design with exactly the same tech specs otherwise.

 

[HeXploiT]

Evga also honors their warranty. I burned out my 680i a couple weeks ago, sent it in and they promptly sent me a new one no questions asked. With this sort of a venture, when you know you will be pushing this card, i would go for the warranty over another vendor with a better software package.
