I will defo be getting the e7300 the e8400 just isnt worth the £35 extra..
The 8800GTS performas similarly to the GTX at lower resolutions I thought, (defo when overclocked)
So, how does your comp do with gaming? (and what res)
Thanks
if your talking to me :juggle: then my gaming rig is run on a 20" at native resoloution i do have a 24", but its in my room for work and general use. but on the 20" it runs like a dream! i did hear that the GTX is better on larger resolutions i may eventually move the GTX but for now its not necessary as i only play CoD. i have no experience with the GTS. apart from the 8600 GTS old but it does work well even at 20" but on smoke and lots of gunfire its laggy. the thing is, when you buy a gfx card you will want the best to handle thing and not even notice the limitations of your hardware. the only reason i have a separate computer is tht the phone line is downstairs and if i moved the GTX into my room, it will be noisey which is something that i have worked hard to avoid. but i was thinking of aftermarket cooling as it is very effective!! but the GTX gets INSANELY hott!
Re: About to buy, any changes?
Yeah, I was talking to you, :P
Well, I think im just gonna go for the 9800GTX+, just spend the extra, and get the better card, hopefully be able to overclock it a bit, and so it will just last a little longer, I mean, Its still under £600, so......
But I wont spend anymore, as I want to move to watercooling eventually, and so money saved here means the sooner I can get a water cooling setup, :D:D:D
Thanks
Re: About to buy, any changes?
haha thank me in my posts ;)
yeah with regards to the over clocking the 9800gtx, i seriously wouldn't bother over clocking the card is a beast and only over clock IF you need to!
if my 8800gtx (stock clock) can handle it yours definitely can!!
