Sdzier2 Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 It looks great but be prepared to find alot of problems with the 64 bit vista. I know a lot of ppl who have had problems with it and ended up trading it in for 32 bit. u should be able to do some good gaming with that though, what games do you play?

Cybersist Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 Now the real question is: Will it play Crysis at a framerate above 30fps?And I think your computer might be able to do it...... tweaked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicayotte Posted December 13, 2007 Author Share Posted December 13, 2007 yes it will, running the proc at 3.5 right now, memory speed improved and the video card 50 over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulldog_916 Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 My next build wont be a gamer system. Already have one that plays Oblivion well enough. Im thinking 32 in. LCD tv with a MythTV style box behind it mounted to the back. Similar to George Ou's build on ZDNet but made of sheet metal instead of wood and twice the size. All Linux. It's also going to be a wireless media server that I can connect to anywhere in the apartment/house. If I want to pull movies from the server and watch them in a different room, all I have to do is stream directly from the server instead of loading a DVD or waiting for the whole file to download. I want something more functional than powerful this time around. Plus watching and recording in HD without having to pay for DVR service is fantastic. Cant wait.

Cybersist Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Nvidia has annouced the 9000 series in early to mid 2008... but the 8000 series prices will not decrease since thats not what Nvidia does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead they are going to release the 8850GX2 (G92) which used to be codenamed 8950GX2( G80 I think?). The 8850GX2 and the 8800GX2 should be out Next month. Then My guess is feb-march the 9 series will drop, probably with a different name but Nvidia hasnt announced a name change yet. and it is supposed to be if not 2x faster than the 8800GTX, 4 times....but of course the x2900XT was supposed to be twice as fast as the 8800GTX. Its slightly faster but the Ultra beats the XT.Im going to wait for the 9 series to drop them build a new PC. Hopefully DX10.1 isnt borked.

Last time I checked SLI was overkill when it came out.I'm also hoping to throw 3 more gigs and a sound card into my monster before too long so I can run CoD4 flawlessly.
