From the basic figures on the Crysis page, it looks to me like Nvidia have lost the plot. :confused:

its cheaper than the 8800GT so it does have a use, its ment to be taking over for the 8800GT although it uses the exact same thigns apart from the 55nm process nvidia want to move the 8series being the best to worse than 9series, discontinue the 8 series i think so everything seems like a 9(so higher/better). The 4850 is certainly a better card BUT thats because of the price difference of ~$40 so basicly the same here of £40, so now it goes like this.... 9600GSO(8800GS) $100---> 9600GT $140----> 9800GT $160---> 9800GTX $?-----> 9800GTX+ $?---> etc. Basicly its all nines apart from gtx260/280, looks better than 9600->8800->9800GTX/8800GTS etc.
I don't get why they're releasing 9series AFTER the GTX series, seems like a backwards step to me
I guess they want to keep the GTX series as a premium brand.
what game uses 1 gb?
Not so much the game, it'd be the resolutio it's run at wouldn'it ?
Not at the moment it doesn't. The 1gb 9800GT is priced at the same level as the 4850.Quote:

If nVidia cut prices then they'll be competing.
4850 + decent cooler (or a fire extinguisher) roughly costs the same as a 9800gtx+ which comes with a decent cooler :pQuote:

meh, I prefer a silent cooler... the only reason why ATI runs its coolers slow is because its noisy when run faster
The stock cooler on the GTS is pretty loud at 50%, anything over 40% is really to loud for me as its louder than everything in my system and has the annoying wizzing sound lol.Quote:
