What one should I get? - 13CentKiller - 07-14-2008 Simple as that really. I want a new video card. But while I'm at it I need to get two. But two would be to expensive, so I need to compensate with a new PSU, motherboard, processor and RAM. I have decided on everything, except the video card. So... The Gigabyte Nvidia GeForce 8800GTS or the Asus Nvidia GeForce 9800GTX What one should I get? - Hyperion - 07-14-2008 I would say get a 8800GTS 512Mb, it is cheaper, and the 9800GTX is only better in high resultions. But if you whant to play games on 1920x1200 or higher than get the 9800gtx. Edit: What one should I get? - Leo - 07-14-2008 9800GTX - Way too loud and way to expensive. By the time you get a game that needs that kind of power to run it, the card will have gone down by at least 400 dollars. 8800GTS - More quiet than the 9800GTX, but still expensive. I'd wait a little bit before getting them. I've already ordered the 98's and my girlfriend put them in for me. All she said was they run extremely loud and raddle a crap load inside the case. Wait a bit before you go and break the bank on these cards, they're way to expensive right now. ~Abba What one should I get? - 13CentKiller - 07-14-2008 Looks like the 8800GTS winzorz:cool: What one should I get? - Boss - 07-14-2008 Stick in a bit of cardboard, mate. it'll run FL, and won't make noise, overheat your PC, or get in the way of the slot below it. What one should I get? - 13CentKiller - 07-14-2008 I'm leaning more towards the cardboard...But I fear computability issues... Is there any texture you would recommend?:cool: What one should I get? - Boss - 07-14-2008 Should work. What one should I get? - 13CentKiller - 07-14-2008 Looks a bit expensive for my budget. Then again, I can probably wet it down. And shipping to New Zealand? That looks like its an American model:P What one should I get? - Boss - 07-14-2008 Eh, it'd be fine. Hell, if it costs too much, just get them to ship the box. You can always make new cards out of that!
