I know the ATI HD4870 is showing better preformence in reviews, but they cant make descent drivers. Also that card produce shitloads of heat and are power consuming. Compare to nvidia cards (who also have the PhysX, which ATI dont have :p)

Was thinking of the new E8600, as i read you could easily overclock it too 6.7MHz with a extra fan. We'll see ;) (E8500 can only be OC to 4.7MHz).

dont talk shit about heat and powerconsuming when you take geforce 9800gtx

take another cpu cooler
unless you overclock take pc6400 RAM
maybe a HD for data
and take a E8400

EDIT: what a fucking waste a raptor 300GB, take a 76/150GB one and a 1TB data

4870 or 4850 kthx whining at drivers is bullshit and physX has been ported to ati cards

also it's 2008 not 2003, you need more than 300gig :x

the raptors are mainly used for the OS, then you have a big data dump drive

take a 8800 cos there basically the same as the 9800. Its better yeah, but for the price... no way.

Take another harddrive/External harddrive :)

WHY GET 9 SERIES, FOOL.

8800GTS would easy outperform that gfx.

swedey 10 Aug 2008, 17:21
ofc it should

Maybe read some reviews :)
And the nvidia cards have more heatroom for overclocking and are cheap 170 euros)

not worth the money imo.

8series ftw.

9 series just got walked over about 2 months after they came into retail by the 10 series... tbh the 260 doesnt look like its priced too badly

there is some big difference between 8 serie and even GTX ;) If you read the reviews you'll notice :p and how can the GTX+ card as i bought for 170 be not worth its price :s

Uhm well read this then: http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Sapphire/HD_4850_Toxic/1.html

And i play with 1280x1024 so no need to buy a 260 or 280 card cos the benefit you gain from those cards lies in a higher resolution ;)
