Thrik Posted August 11, 2007 Report Posted August 11, 2007 Got this several months ago: Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 overclocked from 2.4GHz to 2.76GHz, essentially making it an E6700 (and then some) NVIDIA BFG 8800 GTX 768mb overclocked from 575Hz to 600Hz Asus P5B Deluxe 2 x 1GB DDR2 800Hz XMS2-6400C4 (planning on duplicating this soon) Creative X-Fi XtremeGamer Thermaltake ToughPower 650W And since Hessi threw in the connection too: 24mbps ADSL2 by ethernet (in reality runs at about 20mbps). For those who're planning on joining me in 8800 GTX land, bear in mind that the 9800 GTX is coming this autumn and will almost certainly absolutely annihilate it in performance. Since the 8800 GTXs are still at a premium price, it might be worth waiting until they most likely drop in price by half towards Christmas. The more affordable 8800 GTS variants will also hit a major price drop as I assume a 9800 GTS will accompany the GTX. An SLI 8800 GTS would be quite a set-up. I assume you're already doing this Sentura, going off what you're planning to upgrade. Although there is no 640mb GTX, only the GTS -- not sure which you meant there. Quote
Sentura Posted August 11, 2007 Author Report Posted August 11, 2007 common typo, the keys are like right next to each other joking aside, the gfx thing sounds good. i didnt realize nvidia was so pressed to release new stuff already - maybe one should consider getting a 9800 GTS instead... (note the irony - nvidia reusing ati's old ranks) Quote

Thrik Posted August 11, 2007 Report Posted August 11, 2007 Yeah, NVIDIA have (finally) gotten a proper release schedule now, which should be a little nicer for gamers and developers so they can time things better. It was pretty random before. The general idea is that the high-end cards come out every autumn/winter, and the mid-end cards hit during spring/summer (afterwards). Not really trying to advise anyone with what they want to do, but I think knowing this is worthwhile. Quote
