lol the xfx 880gt is cheaper and is overclocked

i think it is overlclocked

[snakeGS]

honestly i would get the 8800 GT but thats me talking lol alot of other people on here know more about that then me but from my point of view if u want something to last a bit longer for the long run the 8800 GT is the way to go, for me anyways, see i had the money for the GTX but i just went with the GT because i dont have a big monitor, plus alot of peeps stated the GTX was overkill unless i am playing high end games like crysis which im not

[jubb jubb]

same here for me anything above an 8800gt is overkill for me since im not playing games like crysis or bioshock

yeah but think for the future. When I bought my X850XT for $220 it was perfect! It played just about every game on high settings with awesome performance. Although I can play CoD4 fine. I find myself turning down a few settings, turning down the resolution and stuff just to keep that high frame rate. A few more months and I'm going to need a new video card again!

i can finally play BF2142 and BF2 and actually kill lol without lag and crappy FPS but i want a better processor i was on a budget, just got out of the military, i bought the P5K premium black pearl board but not sure if it was a good buy or not

[snakeGS]

well its crossfire not SLI for one and its been a big thing between the difference on the Deluxe and the premium

[solofowaffles]

Wait now your talkign about your motherboard?

[snakeGS]

yea lol thats what i said i was iffy on the board

[solofowaffles]

ok well back on the topic,the 8800gt is better than 2 8600's.

2nded


and not all games support dual cards so the 8800GT also is better for that as its a single card
