what are your computer specs?

and you have neither card right solorgame?

also i heard the 7800 can be had for around 399.00 thats a pretty good deal for a great video card like that.

botttom line either card X850 or 7800 is more card than any of us will ever need

 

yeah good point aabbccdd, they are both gr8 cards, and noone can even contemplate their power yet - they might not be needed now, but we will certainly have the edge later on.

 

Well even with my setup when playing the demo of FEAR it's not the smoothest of games. It's good but not as good as I'd expect it to be. I still think that Doom 3 looks much better. Although I think that is down to it being a demo version and also that software developers have not even scratched the surface of the7800's potential yet.

 

hey aabbccdd, of course i dont have a 500 dollar video card. not many of us do, that was a pretty crappy personal attack, its called an opinion.
like you said noone will use that much. i think its a pretty big waste of money unless you need it for your job or somethin.

 

so what card do you have then.
Mine is a FX6600 with 256 on board

 

i have the [bold]X850 XT Platinum[/bold]
and its not a waste of money at all.and it was 600 dollars NOT 500

and its not really an opinion the cards specs. are based on [bold]facts[/bold]

 

i have a 128 mb radeon 9600 sp.

 

its a nice card but its a waste on me as i dont play many games these days and well the existing cards good enough.Think it cost me $240 AUS

 

my card will last [bold]ME[/bold] many more years becuase now adays most games require at least 64 meg cards, my card is a 128, and i could always lower the vidual quality, not gonna kill me.

In sig

 

my specs are in my signature! I think my beast does good! what do you think?

 

Sounds pretty good, but could of built better with the ammount you bought that dell for. Nice seeing other klipsch speaker users.

 

Sorry for being dumb, but who are klipsch? I have Logitech Z5500's, I think everyone should buy the same.. they are unbelievable.

 

..Go to www.klipsch.com It is a audio speaker company that dates back to the 1950's. They are high quality, top-notch speakers. The promedia's will rape you logicraps.

 

logicraps?!? obviously you have never heard them... 188 watt 10 inch ported sub, 4 X 62 watt satellites, 69 watt center.. dts 96/24, thx.. they pump out about 140 db with no distortion whatsoever

 

Ive heard them many times, at demos, friend's house. They distort badley, the sub is boomy as hell, sat's dont have a High, only a mid, and they sound muddy compared to the pm 5.1 ultras.
