[phat-ant]

yer Vodka, I have been keeping an eye on the coverage of that card.
Im hoping it wont be too much of a rip off.

Its gonna be $599 is the us so about £450-£500 with the premium we pay in the uk.Should work well with intels core duo 2 they had a dell system at E3 and its scores in all tests were huge about 30-40% quicker than a fx-62 which is 2.8ghz yet the intel chip was only running at 2.4 lol

[phat-ant]

yer im waiting for the core 2 duo chips (conroe) to be released then i think im gonna buy one

for roadmap.

And

http://www.vr-zone.com/?i=3693

For pricing of them
i presume the numbers are in USD hehe.

and your right about the gfx card we will pay a damn premium. bah. just want to run at full res with everything on and not get below 60fps at all ever. thats the aim hehehe

[Cowboy]

Yep the 2.4 is the 1 to get ant it looks great spec wise and is going to about £200-£250 in the uk what a bargain.Plus u may as well get quad sli and 4 gig of corsiar epp sli advanced ram should cost u about £2000 not bad.Plus get a bigger TFT as your 24" dell is outta date now Maybe a 30" imagine crysis running ant u know it makes sense

[phat-ant]

mate you know its going to happyn. im hoping that nvidia will release the nforce5 platform for the conroe chips and then it will be all ahead go

as for the 30" dell there was a problem with the earlier batches of them where the backlight wasnt even. i belive its solved now but id rather wait a few months to make sure all the dodgy ones are out of the system oh and the price comes down another 100 quid.

4gig of ram will be on the list as well muwhwhwhw.

/me starts saving some more.

[phat-ant]

w00t scan have got them in stock in the bargin price ranges of £411 to £527!! hehehe

http://www.scan.co.uk/todayonly/

get one today if your feeling rich.
to be honest though 411 is quite a reasonable price for it.

dont think ill be buying one just yet though.

[Cowboy]

Lol ive found 1 for under £400 http://www.tekheads.co.uk/s/product?product=605654 Thats a bargain price as there only 10% slower than 2 7900gtx in sli and there £600 cheapest so not bad at all


http://www.guru3d.com/article/Videocards/353/ Theres a review for u

[phat-ant]

sweet.
yer i was tempted with one purely as you get a much faster card for about the same price as just one on its own! sub 400 is awsome for the reference design.
also they u got quad sli ablitiy for when you want to buy the 30" monitor mmmm

also supporting HDCP aparently will mean u will be able to use them for HD movies etc..

tempted..

[Viz0r]

If you want someone to tell you to do it, i'll be happy to be that person! Although i won't be held responsible when you realise it's a waste of money

[phat-ant]

hehe well ive read a couple of reviews and its still not powerful enough to run with the settings i want.
will wait for dx10 and all that crap to come out in the new year

[executioner_dave]

Lmao Ant... You're such a dirty hardware slut

[phat-ant]

yes i am. but well lately ive not been playing much so i guess i dont need a new machine afterall. lol
