wow. i'm extremely impressed with this new card. it's a great time to be a pc gamer. :D

[AFG]

i'm sure raedeon will whip something up :lol:

the graphic card war will not end unless one company takes over the other

[Seoulstriker]

hahahah. i hope so, but it doesn't look good for ATi. :lol: their first version will be 12x1 while their 16x1 version is supposed to come out in 6 months. the first nvidia card will be a cool 16x1. :D

[UkrainianAmerican]

Wow this competition is awesome. The fastest pace of GPU's EVER!

[AFG]

and while everyone buys the new **** i ll buy the top of the line products rite now, which will be heavily discounted by the time that card comes out. but seriously, why need a card like that? the top of the line cards rite now can play HL2, thats all that matters?

So how much does this Mofugga cost?

[Haiw]

*cough* it won't run on a normal power supply *cough*

Man this bytes! I thought I had the **** with my Radeon 9800 xt AIW. Guess I'm gonna have to whore myself again.

So how much does this Mofugga cost?

$300-$400 surprisingly.



a 430W PSU is plenty. and someone who has the money to buy a new video card will surely buy a new PSU.


HL2 could barely be run on the last series of video cards.


(wouldn't it be ironic if HL2 ran better on the NV40 than the R420?) ;)

480 watts minimum if you want to run that card.

I don't play a lot of games so I don't know much about graphics cards. I'm pretty sure my current card is a NVIDIA Geforce 256 and that allows me to play the games I want to pretty well. How does my card compare to the stuff that's now available?

[Haiw]

It compares like an old Citroën 2CV with a Ferrari... :D

[gaz]

Yeah, somehow I thought so. :lol:

Then again I don't really need anything better, it let's me play Operation Flashpoint and SWAT 3 so I'm happy... Just so you know how out of date I am with games, those are still my favourites. :D

[Haiw]

Don't worry, even though I've always got the newest stuff those two games are favorites of me as well. I'm still playing OFP right now, and the last time I played SWAT 3 was about 4 months ago. :D

My ATI Radeon 9700 Pro AIW has serve me well for the last 1 1/2 year. I'll upgrade to something better by the end of this year.

Of course thats all that matters ;) , i will never be seen again once HL2 comes out (cant wait for the mods and the online play) woot woot and my 9800XT has been serving me well so i have no plans to get rid of it :hug:
