**Dave Hybrid** · #19 8th Dec 2007, 12:29 PM

Oh, right, my bad.

Thought as you were a donator you entered.

**Jack06** · #20 8th Dec 2007, 12:35 PM

I guess I didn't see that competition when I donated, can I have numbers 30 and 40 please Dave

**Dave Hybrid** · #21 8th Dec 2007, 01:26 PM

You donated long before the competition started.

You will need to buy tickets I'm afraid.

**Jack06** · #22 8th Dec 2007, 01:30 PM

**Dave Hybrid** · #23 8th Dec 2007, 01:35 PM

Much appreciated, let's hope the computer gods take pity on me!

Guys whats the word on the GTX series, they seem to be more expensive but have good reviews http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/s...html?NOV-88GTX

I'm no expert but I think the GT is quicker still.

Maybe one of the gamers here can shed some light on why...

Having a look....

Dave you ordered the SSC version of the EVGA yeah?

If so, I reckon the GTX will pip it, but only at higher resolutions (1920x1200) due to the higher memory bandwidth - wider memory controller and the extra 16 stream shaders.

But take into account the extra £70 or so cost and I'd choose the GT. At 1680x1050 or lower I don't think you'll see a difference, well, only if you're running a benchmark but in gaming? No.

The EVGA GT I ordered is the quickest one I could find.

As far as I can tell it beats everything except the ultras, which is pretty good value for money if you can find one.

Ah, I see, I was just going on clock speeds.
