Because its faster and by a good margin in most games, also supports PhysX, but lacks DX10.1 support in compared to HD4870, but DX10.1 is used on a very few games(HAWX), PhysX is used on more games(ex- batman AA, Mirror's Edge) so GTX260 is better and VFM.Y should I go for Palit GTX 260 instead of HD 4870 1gb?
Specific reasons??
My rig:
AMD phenom II 940@3.00GHz | ga-ma78gm-s2h | Corsair TX 650 | CM 690 |WD 500GB | 2x2Gb Kingston @800Mhz | Samsung 2233sw
if this is your board *en.kioskea.net/guide/details/959824-msi-k9n-neo-f-v3, then it should support phenom II X4 but I wouldn't suggest that as bhaskar had few issues with using am3 processor on am2 board (though am2+ board is pretty good).
right now, dx11 cards are very very overpriced and it's better if you can wait for a month or two for this.
No, you can't SLI 2 different nvidia cards but you can use it for PhysX, only if use a nVidia card for main rendering. If you use an AMD card say 5850 then the PhysX is disabled.i took out my smps kicked it around and reconnected and its working now display in all glory jsut a nag: the smps has switches for 113Amp/230Amp, its always been at 113Amp.. should it be at 230Amp for 8800gt to max out?
Also, if i'm looking to grab a quadcore cpu with new mobo and gcard, can i use 8800gt on sli with say, gtx260 or maybe 295? or should i opt for dedicating 8800 to physX and use 260/295 for gaming?
also, any idea wat price i can grab for my 2yr old rig: athlon 64x2, 2gb corsair 667, 500gig, asus lightscribe, antec 450V smps, mercury full tower cab, msi k9neo f v3, xfx 8800gt alpha dog
If you mix RAMS with different speeds and latencies then all run at lowest speed and highest latency(eg 2 667MHz and 2 800Mhz means all 4 run at 667MHz, same with latency, all run at highest latency), keeping speed/latency constant you can mix and match different types of RAMs.^^ lol karta hoon btw check out thermaltake's Level 10 cabinet its awe--wait.for.it--someeee

@everyone
thanks for the advice
i wasnt planning selling ryt now anyway, more like wen mainstream nvidia dx11 are out and 295 prices superslashed i guess i would re-use most of the old h/w like smps,ram,hdd,gcard for physx;;; only mobo and cpu will have to go, maybe the cabinet too
say if i have 2x1gb corsair 667mhz rams, wen i upgrade do i need to get another 2x1gb corsair 667mhz rams? or could get 800mhz ones? or 2x2gb ones? to add with the existing? would they be compatible?
0 cards??? Errr.....0 ATI HD5850 graphics card are available in Nehrru Place...
