Good card?
I have a 17" screen and a 7600gt at the moment. What do you reckon?

Re: 8800gts
I'd buy it if I had the $$ :p but not sure how great it will be for DX10. -
Re: 8800gts
It's a very good card, can't go wrong. Right now there's a memory leak that makes BF2 and a few other games almost unplayable at certain points, but ALT+TAB fixes it (for a few minutes).
It absolutely destroys anything on the Source engine, FEAR also.
Make sure to have a good CPU, my E6300@2.4GHz is bottlenecking this thing hardcore (I tested this on CS Source).Comment

Re: 8800gts
I'm not too worried about Pure DX10 games, as they are still almost half a year away, at which point i will buy a different card.
One thing i would like to know is whether i still receive my full warranty when i buy the card on ebay? Or do i have to buy it on a licensed retailer such as Ebuyer.com to get the full warranty?Comment

Re: 8800gts
Don't bother with it for DX10, simple as that.
Also, it depends what you're planning to play. Resolution has very little impact on performance as far as I see.Comment

Re: 8800gts
1280x1024. All modern games high. Should do it right?
What about the warranty then?Comment

Re: 8800gts
I wouldn't buy anything like that off Ebay :pComment

Re: 8800gts
I wouldn't recommend eBay but most offer some sort of warranty (Buy-It-Now). One company was selling them for £145 a while back, I practically bought a 7600GT for that price.
I bought a new monitor with the card, once you go hi-res it's very hard to go back. Makes lower res games look like toys. Hard to explain, really.Comment

Re: 8800gts
With a manufacturers warranty and £20 cheaper prices.... what can go wrong?
So, i looked everywhere. Where would you get the card for £160?Comment

Re: 8800gts
eBay
The xpertvision cards are the cheapest, but I don't know how good they are in terms of reliability.
Me, I couldn't give two ****s about a warranty.Comment

Re: 8800gts
Seriously? What happened to the charity trust fund thingy? :P
I love those impulse buys. I didn't feel anything when I clicked "buy-it-now". Welcome to a whole new bugfest, by the way - http://forums.techarp.com/showthread.php?p=311779.
