Pilotasso Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 In my case Ill buy the strongest CPU arround, that will limit the GFX wich I rarely needed to the fullest anyway. The GTS 320MB seems a good stopgap card untill I verify if I need anything stronger later on. .
3Sqn_Fudd Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 I should warn you all - 320MB of RAM won't cut it when running high resolutions (higher than 1600x1200). I'd still wait a bit more for GTX prices to drop some more and get one. It seems it's the only card that can keep up with new games. Another GTS 320MB review: http://www.guru3d.com/article/Videocards/416/20/ Very true, but that was known with the 640mb too... if one was viewing 1920x1200 or greater it would have to be Gtx or < ... That gets into insane spending... and Cali... my situation, it makes it a tinge less moronic when you sell your old stuff while it still has value, that, and im just getting mobo, cpu, and ram. Hey, we've kind of hijacked this thread... to the OP... These pictures just wont die, they were first called fakes but they're persisting... If the card is 12in long then that's amazing... people are going too need to take a rotary tool to their cases or buy full towers to fit it... The size is an issue, but not as much as price to performance comparison... http://3sqn.com/forum/ Here's to 1.13 -- > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0488djMDBU
3Sqn_Fudd Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 as we all know........they come out with new stuff every week. People like to say this, I even have... but on a core level it's just not true. We not to long ago got off a nearly 2 year period where it was AMD with S939-NF4-DDR1 .... Now the holy trinity is Intel, Socket 775-965 or 975-and DDR2. That last one arrived 4 months ago and will continue for quite awhile... Yeh things come out all the time, but not so much as to make things completely wonky... http://3sqn.com/forum/ Here's to 1.13 -- > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0488djMDBU
3Sqn_Fudd Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 Stop it!!! I know, I should!! Others will borrow my rationalizations! ok... im going to go dig my ass out of this 15inch snow fall so the FedEx Express guy can make it to the door lol http://3sqn.com/forum/ Here's to 1.13 -- > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0488djMDBU

Pilotasso Posted February 14, 2007 Posted February 14, 2007 I have heard numerous times that the inquirer is too sensationalist. Take it with a grain of salt. .
TheProphet Posted February 15, 2007 Posted February 15, 2007 I have heard numerous times that the inquirer is too sensationalist. Take it with a grain of salt. I'm in the hardware "scence" for lots of years already and I have heard those things about the Inq lots of times, but me and other people start realizing that in the past years the Inq was right in a lot of things and people start respecting it. I'm not saying that all that info about the R600 is true, but don't decry the Inq;) Lets hope this info is really true because if it is, the R600 will be an angry beast. 6700K | ASUS Z170 | 32GB RAM | GTX 680 | 850EVO
