Good to see you too Shawk! I been playing with 3D stuff a lot lately, plus
using the camera gear. A nearly two year old conversation in both camps,
the ATI and nVidia hardware ng's, about ATI card killers from nVidia and
nVidia card killers from ATI. I think it's pretty damn obvious what the
real outcome was. ATI got smeared. AMD picked up the smelly roadkill and
started cookin it. They've come up with some good stuff under AMD, but not
good enough for the prices.
I've had a hankering for the 8800GTX for a long time now. And the 9xxxGX2
is still two or three hundred more plus it requires a PCI E2 slot. Means
new mobo and cpu. There is a lot the 8800 can do folks don't talk about a
lot. They just play games tho Smile Anyways, I'll find out tomorrow if my
very first BFG card is as good as all the talk has been for over a year.
Besides, I still play HL and HL2 a lot.
McG.

OK I'm dumb, what's a PCI E2 slot? I didn't know it took a new type of PCI-E
slot. JLC

The PCI Express slot in my K8-N-SLI mono is a PCIe 1.0 slot, and in the
newer mobos they are PCIe 2.0. The new 9xxx card requires the 2.0 slot.
That's all I know about it so far. Here's some quickies from Gigabytes mobo
site:
http://www.giga-byte.com/Products/Motherboard/Products_Overview.aspx?P...uctID=2

PCI-E 2.0 Graphics Interface
PCI-E 2.0 doubles the bus standard's bandwidth from 2.5 Gbit/s to 5 Gbit/s,
meaning a x32 connector can transfer data at up to 16 GB/s in each
direction. PCI-E 2.0 also features improvements to the point-to-point data
transfer protocol and its software architecture.

Actually that's not strictly true. My motherboard has no PCI-E2 slots. The
specs. for PCI-E2 state that it is backwards compatible so it will work on
older v1 boards. It works for me. I don't know if it is ever likely to max it
out and I have some kind of bottleneck here but from what I have seen in
Crysis, if there is a bottleneck I don't need to worry about it as it flies.

That's what I thought. It's seems to be another marking ploy to get gamers
to shell out money on new MB's. Thanks for the info, I'm so green I think
I'm gonna need to puke! Oh well the price on that monster of yours will come
down to my price range some day.
On a side note have you heard about the new Nvidia MB's that have onboard
graphics that run with your card? The idea is to save power and heat build
up by having the main graphic card shut down when not running games and just
use the onboard chip for 2D. Read about it on Gamespot. JLC

Yeah, I was reading about those yesterday. The plan for Nvidia now appears to
be no more discrete chipsets, instead including an onboard VGA solution
allowing what you describe. The idea is to save power by not using the plugin
accelerator when it is not needed. As one forum member stated though, if you
can afford the high end cards, why would you be worrying about power
consumption!? Smile

I've read some more on the specs for PCIe2. Seems that v.2 can allow x16
bi-directionally, for their "total bandwidth" figure of x32. That fits the
definition of 'full duplex', or simultaneous bi-direction. So in v1 it's
8+8 full duplex and v2 is 16+16 full duplex. Backward compatibility to v1
is maintained, so the 9xxx cards will work fine in the v1 slots.

Although possibly slower I guess. But then I've never been one to obsess over
benchmarks. If it can play the games I want to play well I don't care if I'm
losing a couple of FPS because I haven't overclocked.

What I like about using this particular vid card is it gives me more
performance by itself than both 7800GTX cards in SLI. Means no messing up
my dualview setup coming back from SLI too.

Because you heart the environment?
(Or because it's just a thing they put on the laptop chips and has
