The existence of a profile does NOT mean that a game supports SLI. You have to check the SLI entry in the profile. If you check this field you will see that there are quite a few games that do not support SLI. And, unfortunately, even if supported the performance is not always stellar. Some...

NVIDIA has time, at the moment, to refine their 65nm fab lines. I don't expect a new high end product until about mid 08. With the 65nm process tweaked, they will be able to provide the lowest price for the best speed cards against ATI. That would be my business plan, anyway.

EVGA is not alone in this respect. Past posts here and on other sites were very heated and complaints of poor business practices abounded. But the facts speak for themselves. You are the second owner of this card BECAUSE the poster on Ebay was not a qualified reseller. Now, you can face the...

Go to the NVIDIA site and find the 8800 spec page. Find this information and much more: NVIDIA Quantum Effects™ Technology Advanced shader processors architected for physics computation Simulate and render physics effects on the graphics processor Why do you think that the versatile...

Have you tried hooking up your monitor to the alternate video output? Monitor number one "could" be the other output. Give it a shot. GL

I've been in this exact situation, "It's my money or my wife." So I sympathize. Go with the second item in your list. But go for an E6600 instead of the quad core. The only reason for a quad core right now is if you plan to do a lot of video processing which includes format conversions...

I waited 6 months after Vista was RTM before I decided to load it on my main machine. I used Vista Ultimate since I got a free key from Microsoft. I was excited about DX10 and the new, great games that would be coming out real soon. I even bought a pair of 8800GTXs and used them in SLI on my...

Most likely, WiC was using a motherboard with three video cards. The EVGA 680i SLI MB has two PCIE slots for SLI use and a third PCIE slot (8x) for use by another video card. With this configuration you can use two cards in SLI while using a third card for either other game functions or even a...

NVIDIA has nominal competition in the 8xxx series market. This tells me that a reduction in price is not very likely. However, Intel has nominal competition in Dual and Quad core CPUs but they will be cutting their prices in half at the end of this month. Tell me, where is the logic in all...

Not true. The VC is a PCI-E and the motherboard has a PCI-E connector. You may be confused by the locking clip at the back of the board. I'm not sure what makes you say this. Anyway, except for the 7900GS not being Top Of The Line, it will function at its best with this motherboard. Having...

Right! ;) If you wrote a troll thread and didn't know it, your score has to drop a bit. I'd lower the score to 6/10 at this point. From my perspective, I got my 8800GTX to run DX9 games. I did not even seriously consider any DX10 games. I got my card in November of last year and it was clear...

Did you get the 320MB? or the 640MB? Don't keep us in suspense. :confused:

I really have nothing bad to say about the X1950XT. It's a fine video card. However, it does not have the performance of the GTS, even the 320 version. The GTS is truly an upgrade. To get it now will allow you to upgrade your monitor later thus spreading out your expenses over time. My opinion...

The 3DMark result window covered up the "Resolution" field (and others). These days, with widescreen monitors and other special screen resolutions, it is very difficult to tell how good (or bad) of performance this is. I suspect that you were running 1280x1024 (the 4:3 default) but I hesitate...

Well, unless the game(s) he runs has a lot of large textures. Then the more memory the better. I certainly suspect that more and larger textures will become the norm as DX10 games start to roll out of developer's hands.
