Is the 9800gx2 worth it if.....

I have an 8800 gtx 4 gigs off ddr3 ram asus p5e3 mobo, and an e6700 processor. Ok I was looking to upgrade my gpu when

the new geforce 9 series came out, but to be honest I have mixed feelings. My card can run all my games on high and pretty

sure most games coming out, hopefully even far cry 2 and fallout 3. Idk if i should upgrade or just stick with my 8800 gtx. if i

stuck with it I would upgrade my processor when the new yorkfield quads hit stores. Keep in mind I usually keep my rez at 1280

by 720.

its better to stick with the 8800GTX's 9800 serie's is no more then another overclocked 8800's all 3 cards process 128 steam procces ( cant spell )

The 8800 GTX still has massive processing balls, enough to max all games (bar Crysis) at 19x12+.

Hell, if I had an 8800 GTX, I'd wait it out until mid 2009.

You have a GTX to play on that resolution??? You shouldn't even think about upgrading then...

The 8800 GTX still has massive processing balls, enough to max all games (bar Crysis) at 19x12+.

And the GTX certainly doesnt max all games bar crysis in 19x12.

And by maxed i mean 4xAA and 16xAF with NO visible frameratre hiccups throughout 99% of the game.If it's not that then it it NOT maxed.

The geforce 9 series is the same as the geforce 8 series, it's a marketing sham. The 8800gtx and 9800gx2 operate on the same core logic, the only difference is that the 9800gx2 has two g92 cores, and the 8800gtx has one g80 core.

There are subtle differences like the bandwidth and # of ROP's, but the only real significant thing is that the g92 is on 65nm feature size manufacturing process.

With that said, 8800GTX is still a high end enthusiast card.

Agreed! (well not with your grammar but with your statement!)

@ OP : Why would you pay alot of money just to get higher settings only at 1 game (Crysis) and you arent even getting that improvment.. Its only few fps so think again before you go out and buy any GPU because yours is more than powerful

stick with your card. get 9800 ultra or something when it comes.

you dont need to see it, anyone who knew anything about gaming high resolutions would know that there is not a significant difference between 2x and 4x AA yes there maybe a difference but it is no way in this world "significant".yoyo462001

LOL!!!

Why don't you take some nice pictures of your AA's... I mean i'd really like to see the difference aswell.

I guess you haven't heard of volt mod have you? Oh, why don't you try doing that on air cooling.

Where did I say overclocking would give you double the frame rates... unless you can achieve 100% overclocking?

It does give you a nice boost, why do you think people do it?

A 52" TV with 1080p will obvioulsy look better than a 52" SDTV but in terms of picture quality a nice S-IPS panel 24" LCD will beat those fancy samsung or sony 52" HDTV's.Try sitting close to a 50" HDTV and you will understand what i am saying.

The best way for you to understand this is to have monitors or TV's of different size running the SAME resolution and you will see the difference.

As for your AA,well compare a 24" LCD running 19x12 with a 30" LCD running 25x16.You WONT see any less jaggies on the 30",you can have my guarantee for that as i have tested this.

Begi-vegata do one thing and that will clear to you that higher resolution does not reduce jaggies if you increase the size of the scrren as well.

You have a 24" LCD?Ok run any game without AA or with AA at 19x12 then run the same game in the same AA setting at 16x10 "in windowed mode" and tell me if you notice anymore jaggies in 16x10 then 19x12?

To bad they don't have dx10.1 included... I don't know much about OpenGL 3.0.

Well, OpenGL 3.0 is going to be BIG. Like, a BIG BIG BIG performance boost from the previous versions. The downfall is (don't quote me) that it doesn't have backwards compatibility with versions 1.0-2.X.

DX10.1 is just a cleanup of the API and a couple added features. Don't know a whole lot myself.
