Do you want to run multi monitors? Go nVidia. Their setup just seems more natural than ATIs. Do you want to run an OS other than windows? Go nVidia. They actually have support for them (do ATI support tv-out in linux yet?). Other than that there is nothing it.

No chance, ATI drivers are horrible on Linux. For a start, TV out still isn't working on it... You're going to have to go nVidia if you want Linux support.

Disagree - per pipe it's even or slightly in favour of the GTX, per watt it's in favour of the GTX. ATI have gotten away with the 16 pipes because they have boosted the clock speed - and it's worked, but it doesn't mean that they are more efficient.

That is exactly what a hard launch is :rolleyes:. A hard launch is, the day it is launched it is available. This is what nVidia did with the Geforce 7 series.

No, I just can't be bothred to put the money, time and effort into swapping it over - my GTX gives decent enough performance, it's just not worth it for me to swap.

So nVidia has managed to get 0.09micron parts out before ATI - interesting - I wonder if they will have problems with a desktop transition.

It would appear to be 1024x768

You people do realise that the GTX is equipped for 512mb as well - look at the PCB - next to every memory module is the pad for another - if 512mb X1800s are slaughtering 256mb GTXs they can start manufacturing 512mb GTXs easily enough.

Gah, giving the memory more voltage solved it - I hope anyway. Thanks for the ideas though guys, I appreciate it.

Ok, I'm installing windows on my new computer now, it has a XFX 7800GTX, 4400+ X2, Gigabytr K8MNF-9, Antec Smartpower 2.0 500W and 1GB (2x512MB) of Geil RAM (2-5-2-2 is its stock settings). Also two Seagate 120GB SATA drives working off the onboard SATA controller. When installing windows, at...

I have a black Ti4600 and someone released a silver motherboard PCB once.

At the moment, they are all probably coming out of the same plant (the PCBs that is) - thus they will all be the same. As the supply progresses, there will be more variety. I've seen red,black and blue nVidia PCBs, it's just at the moment they are all the same, just branded differently.

Because for the average user, XP Pro adds no necessary features, for a bit more money. Makes no sense. Same with x64.

I'm sick of people blowing it out of proportion. Have your opinion if you want - but don't blow it out of proportion. It's a MINOR image fault, in a fast developing industry. I can tolerate minor faults - do you seriously think nVidia sits back in their labs saying Hey guys, lets see how we...

Very true. OH NOES TEH SHIMMMERR!!!!1!! :rolleyes:
