Guys have u heard that the new 8800 GT will be 512 MB and 256-bit? Well its like the Dx10 version of 7900 GT(512MB).....which is a good thing!

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

they r decreasing the mem bandwith to 256 bit?performance will surely take a hit as compared to 8800GTS 320MB which it is meant to replace.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

any idea about its prices guys?i will buy it if it retails at around 7-8k.

 

[assasin]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

prices will be above 10k just after launch cuz 8600GTS costs near/more than 10k.

 

[The_Devil_Himself]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

but it is definitely inferior to 8800gts.I mean 320bit>>256bit.Anyways lets hope for the best.Atleast i will be able to get 8600gt at around 5k after this big launch bu nVidia in november.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

but when it comes out wouldnt it just be wise to get 8800gt?

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^umm.. I am not much of a gamer just cs,NFS and yes TF2 kinda games.So I think 8600gt should suffice for me.But lets see what happens.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

think of the future as well dude

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^think about the monay as well dude.I would rather get a PMP.
And I already said i will buy 8800gt if it costs arund 8k.I am waiting when 9800 will be released and I will be able to buy a second hand 8800gts 320mb for around 8k as most people are waiting for 9800.Call me a bottom feeder but i care about the small amount of money that I have.

Got a question here:
Is it really good idea to buy HD 2600 XT DDR3 over 6800 GS?

 

[xbonez]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

over a 6800GS?? yes, i'd say

 

[keith_j_snyder2]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Despite of the 32 GB/sec. bandwidth where as 2600XT gives 22.5 GB/sec and 256 Bit memory whereas it is 128 bit for 2600XT?

 

[hash!!]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

well, the memory bandwidth is better, thats deifinitely a plus point, but the architecture varies too...
the 6800 has a shader model 3 and the xt has shader model 4 or sumthn...
the xt's got more pixel shader engines and they're far better than what the 6800gs has, etc etc...
cause if you were to go with the memory bandwidth, then the 2900xt would've been a better card than the 8800Ultra, cause i guess the ultra's memory bandwidth is around 103gb/s, whereas the 2900xt's bandwidth is around 105gb/s....

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

I usually play NFS most wanted with all settings maxed out on 1280X1024 res.!
By far it is really good and i don't have any problem.
In NFS Carbon, i just have to turn AA to half and rest of the things are maxed out!
Still don't face any problem!

Does the 2600XT will be able to beat or not on my system(17" LCS1280X1024res.)?

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

ati 2600 SHOULD do that

 

[keith_j_snyder2]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

ati 2600 SHOULD do that

"Should" says that u are not sure, right?

 

[entrana]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

dude according to the specs its should but i dont trust ati anyways just go with 8600gt dude it rockzzzz

 

[keith_j_snyder2]

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Why...do u have some bad experience with ATi?
Wait....isn't this ATi is the one whose X1900XTX straight killed the 7900GTX!
