Wez Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 You should be able to clock the one i listed to that level + it has a lifetime warranty I just asked that very question on overclockers forums, so basically I should just buy a cheaper card and use something like RivaTuner to turn it up I guess all the cards are identical then.

DamanC Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 so basically I should just buy a cheaper card and use something like RivaTuner to turn it up I guess all the cards are identical then. Yup, try to go for a brand that does not produced pre clocked ones, you will avoid the cherry picking factor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 Will my standard 350W PSU be ok with these cards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamanC Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 No hope! You want a good 500W+ really. If you plopping a decent Duel core CPU in they consume not far off 200W on their tod. Also make sure the psu to be is 26amps + and ATX 2.2 (should you require it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Still unable to find any 8800GT in stock, might just go for a GTX instead the better choice as its better lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 its nearly double the price though ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamanC Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 5%-15% performance increace for twice the price.....hummm let me think! A GTX would be worth it if you are running an uber res and lots of AA, but then if you were wanting one Id wait for the new GTS/GTX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daston Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Personaly I would wait as the new 9800GTX is just around the courner and the prices on the 8800GTX will plumet. The performance on the 8800GTX compaired to the GT is actualy very large in the real world 10-15% in fps can mean the difference between smooth game play or a slide show Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DamanC Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Real word differences If you really wanted to waste money on a GTX then get two GT's FTW http://www.expreview.com/img/topic/8800gt/bioshock.png http://www.expreview.com/img/topic/8800gt/stalker.png http://www.expreview.com/img/topic/8800gt/3dmark_01.png http://www.expreview.com/img/topic/8800gt/3dmark_02.png Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Overclockers have some in stock at the moment. I was tempted to get two just for the fun of it but decided against it, I got a better PSU and CPU cooler instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
