 |
|
Just bought this. Lets just say :OH SHI-
I just can't believe this card. I bought it off newegg.com (the link is at the bottom) for a GREAT price. Installed it, booted up with no problemo. I had to do some tweaking, but it only took me about twenty minutes to get it totally set up. FPS is nice, on Oblivion I had almost all of the settings on "Ultra-High". I cant wait to see what overclocking can do to this beast of a card, and I HIGHLY reccomend purchasing it. Expect 65+ FPS on COD4.
Better than like 2x 8800's

This + the fact that it actually performs worse in some areas. The 8800gtx has a 16gb/s bandwidth lead over the 9800gtx, when you crank that resolution, this is where it's likely to show. Way to go nvidia.
I guess this is what happens when there is no high end competition.
Price not justified.
