Yea its a kick ass card, but tomshardware isn't a reliable site to get the info from.

yea its a ****load faster than the 9800xt especially when playing in 1600x1200 @_@

ati still has better AA though

i have a feeling the x800 is going to be a tad faster than nvidia however...but then again, nvidia's new cards are $100 less...so u have that to think about

iome · 04-14-2004, 06:32 PM

no the new nvidia cards were supposed to be 100 bucks less but are actually 500 now.

The power requirment on this card is insane...

sakor1 · 04-16-2004, 08:37 AM

Who cares about the power requirement when you're getting framerates like that?! Certainly not me.... but then again I've already got a 450W one in my desktop do its no biggie for me. I've gotta start saving now

It wouldn't suprise me if your power supply was enough, but the card recomends a 480W PSU... :P

Chirality · 04-17-2004, 05:10 PM

Perhaps very soon redundant PSUs will become standard in desktops, because these cards overload the power source so darn quickly...LOL...

gsminardi · 04-17-2004, 11:04 PM

Does that card function as a vacuum cleaner??

sakor1 · 04-18-2004, 03:19 AM

Yes, but its only a secondary function. Its handy for keeping the inside of the case clean though.
