Graphics Card Survey

[Phopojijo]

Unreal Tournament 3 mods.

And I don't really know what you mean "fell for the marketing" -- I had the 8800GT anyway.

Well my XP 'sees' 3.5GB. But with some modifications to After Effects (which is what i mainly use for work...etc) i can make it see the entire 4 which are all in. And i wasn't just going to have 3Gb of RAM. That's daft.

I had 3GB of RAM...CPU controller couldn't handle it no matter what speed I set it at...

I just got a brand new graphics card a 9800GT, i use to have a 8600GT nice upgrade. (New is 512MB old was 256MB).

Ouch man, I won't lie. This is seriously one of the things I didn't want to hear this month.

Should've waited.

Thank god they didn't do the rebranding shit to the 9800 GT again.

And yet... performance wise... they compete really well o.O

[Warsaw]

Well, the 4800 series one is not entirely accurate, since the 4870 and 4890 compete with the GTX 260 Core 216 and GTX275, not the GeForce 9800 series (GTS250 and GTS240).

Either way, it looks like Nvidia's new GT300 series going to be a pretty major upgrade, starting with 512 shader processors.

HD5870 will have 2000 stream processors, 512-bit GDDR5 memory, and a core exceeding 1GHz; HD5000 vs. GTx300 will be an interesting showdown indeed.

The radeon 5000 series is suppose to come out first though, with a mid-summer release date while the GT300 series is going to somewhere in October. I hope ATi pulls something worth waiting another 2 months for, the thought of playing games on my X1300 PRO makes me cringe.
