Graphics card equal or better then 8800GT

You know, thinking about it (might be wrong) but I think you'll struggle, depending on the game and detail settings, to justify the GTX quoted over the EVGA at 1920x1200.

Yeah, I can live with that opinion.

Damn
So Alex in your opinion what are my options?
I don't really feel like waiting around for the suppliers to pull their act together, if I say my budget is 250 give or take what can I get?
Sick of waiting!

Is it worth getting an 8600GT for the time being rather then an 8800GTX for example

**alex** · #34 8th Dec 2007, 08:33 PM

No.

1) It's a crap card.

2) Needless expense.

3) You'll have to sell it to recoup any money.

Just gonna have to find you a half decent GT aren't we.

Dabs are quoting 1-2 days for the SSC, they're usually accurate on lead times.

So what if I was to buy the stock then overclock it to OC2 level?
Would that work?

Novatech have their own branded in stock (vanilla) and Asus due 17th.

It just annoys me the overclockers prices are above the other sites I'm looking at.

You could potentially oc but as it's been oc'd from the factory 1) You'd void any warranty and 2) oc'ing cards is less guaranteed than cpu's.

S'up to you fella. Wait for the one you want or buy now.
