Sweet Bundle!

Asus are really doing well at the moment!

Cool

"The Black Box" looks quite good hehe

 

[darkorb]

the bundle is good but the card itself are lacking.

i just checked the review on other sites aswell. and the 8800gts 640mb is neck and neck with it, and beating it by 1-5 fps in certain well most games.

and the GTS also consumes alot less watts, making it the better of the two in my books.

how come the 320mb just seems to be beating the 640mb brother? This makes me wonder which i should get.

320 in that review probably has higher clock speeds or something. In higher resolutions the 640 should win.

 

[darkorb]

But the 320 still beats it in 1600x1200 res games.

Hmmm, no idea then. Beats by a fair bit in some cases doesn't it ? They don't say what it's clocked at etiher do they ?

Unfortunately yea they are. Their recent hardware is the most unreliable I've ever come across, their newer motherboards kill memory like nobodies business, the BIOSs mess up, the SATA controllers give up, the factory applied chip cooling TIM application is a complete joke, and now, to add to the list, my ASUS commando's PCIe BUS has failed big time

I'm moving to an Abit AB9 QuadGT this week which hopefully wont crap out on me after 2 months.

I assume your referring too the likes of that?

Its overclocked, hence the OC. And probably factory overclocked. which means faster stream processes. = fair bit faster GPU.

 

[jiffz]

Awesome bundle imo. I havn't played stalker yet but may have to borrow it off my mate soon

Usual looking Ati card with a STALKER sticket on it? Do I smell a review coming along

Now the question is will crossfire work on an Intel 965 chipset? With the 16x PCIe and 4x PCIe??

 

[Toxcity]

Just overclock the640MB version of the 8800GTS and you will be off!

Trust me!

Nah.. I dont like Nvidia
