Nvidia Geforce 8800GTX. Apparently, one of these cards is faster than 2 Radeon X1950XTX's in crossfire.

I know, it sounds like Naughty Naughty, but it's the truth!!!

Wow, pwnage! I want one! Now I'm 2 generations out of date .

Awwwwww. Poor Grimmy is 2 gens out of date...Dnt have this prob with consoles...

Nope, consoles are always out of date XP. Anyway, this is about top of the range pwnage hardware. Not low end rubbish consoles.

I agree with you.

Edit: Did I say something bad in that first post???

Yes, yes you did XP.

yummy!

Stop teasing me!

Anyway, erm, wow... First pre watercooled card I've ever seen.

Sapphire did it first with the Toxic cards

Oh, yeah. Still, it's quite something to see them now accepting watercooling as more mainstream. If a bit expensive.

The Wii will be far in advance of any comp material created

I would like to see a Wii pump HL2 at over 100FPS into a 1600x1200 monitor with maxed out AA, AF and quality... All it has to do is put crappy graphics onto a low resolution blury screen, nothing compared to the power needed to create the high res crisp images on a computer monitor.

And comp [i]material[/i] WTF?

COMPUTERS FTW!

Whats the point....U never [i]ever[/i] even gave consoles a chance! For all u know they are better. By material i mean the gyrscopic Wiimote....Jeez....

That's a controller. And yes, I do give consoles a chance, well Nintendo ones anyway, because of the games. However, this is a thread about top of the range computer hardware, consoles should not even be here. Consoles are nothing compared to computers on power.

That's vtrue. Cell processor is exciting stuff though, would like to see a PC with a Cell.

Yeah, Cell is pretty cool. But completely unnecessary in consoles.

Why? PS3 can display in HD, so thats way more then "crappy" 640 x 640 (which btw, it creates incredible graphics with). SO who needs pixels for great graphics? GT4 has incrdeible graphics and is only 640 x 640.....

Still nothing compared to computer graphics. Anyway, cell has nothing to do with graphics.

But it has a lot to do with games

Also, take a look at this:

http://www.komplett.co.uk/k/ki.asp?sku=327436

QX6700 for ?650, which is only ?10 more than the X6800.

Also, good graphics and smooth frame rate at 640x480 is nothing compared to good graphics and smooth frame rate at 2560x1600 (much higher than the crappy 1920x1080 HD )

[b]640 x 640[/b]!!!!!!!!!

lol @ square monitor

LOL, yeah, PAL is square. Also, SB posted that last message, but at Wigo's house. Finally, this is a computer thread, consoles should not even enter here. Of course we're gonna sodding flame them if we want to talk about top of the range computer hardware. Consoles, GET OUT!

And it's official! 2 x 8800GTX's completely pwned by Rainbow Six Vegas: http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=36608

14FPS

That's because it's a direct X360 port and the idiots didn't optimise it for PC hardware. Nothing to do with the cards. For example, that system will pwn any PC game released this year at full detail and full AA, and that game didn't even HAVE AA because it's a Crapbox 360 direct port.

Message to developers;
If you want to release a game on PC, [b]DO IT PROPERLY![/b]

Yeah looks like shoddy development. Well.. what do you expect!? Unisoft are 20% owned by EA!!

I like the way Inq said "We didn't bother trying ATI cards" ROFL
