So, I decided to buy a new videocard. Presently, I have an nVidia 7600GT. It plays a lot, if not most of the games of the past 2 years at the settings close to maximum. But I wanted to be able to play Crysis and the like. I was thinking about nVidia 8800GT. However, its length is 23 cm, and the...

Greetz, just a quick post to say. . . . . . .I finally ordered a new graphics card, the Sapphire ATLANTIS 9800! I was trying to source a 9500Pro in U.K. . ..nope, so then I decided why not get a Radeon 9700 instead and by this point it was only an extra £30.00 (or so) to go all the way to the...

Omega has posted a long explanation why no new sets have been released by him in two months. Looks like he's calling it quits, and I for one am deeply saddened to lose his famous drivers. http://www.omegadrivers.net/ Ps. Make sure you click on his banner ads too! Pluvious

Hi guy Now that I may look at buying nForce4 SLI. Lets go back in time to my first big 3D card buy.........3dfx Voodoo2. I bought two to use for SLI, and they was not cheap back then. These voodoo rocked. The best and fastest on the market. How can a company go from being Number # 1 to out of...

Are the new X800's really all their cracked up to be? If I moved from a 9600XT, would I be overly impressed for my money? Thanks, Bill Crocker

I just got a new ATI 9000 Pro video card today and can't get it installed (it was a choice between 9000 Pro or 9200. I hope I didn't make the wrong choice. I am using Windows 98SE. I can't get the drivers installed. The card is OEM, and the guy at the store gave me an installation disk which is...

I was just reading an Extremetech article that suggested anisotropic filtering was a waste of time and unnoticeable even at the highest settings. Anyone have any thoughts? I'm thinking of disabling AF on my 9800 Pro and just going w/FSAA now. -Bill (remove "botizer" to reply via email)

It still seems way too early to be talking about the PlayStation 4 and yet, rumored news continues to pop up everywhere. The latest is big, if it proves true: according to European source PS3Clan, it seems SCEI "has officially chosen" the technical setup for their next PlayStation iteration, which...

I have a PIII 1000 and am seriously considering a DELL 2407WFP LCD 24" Widescreen Monitor for its PIVOT feature (and price). In case anyone doesn't know what a PIVOT feature is, it is the ability to rotate the physical monitor itself by 90° to make use of the entire monitor's viewable screen...

I got my Sapphire 9800Pro from newegg yesterday for $229. Before I received it, the price had already dropped $5 on their web site :-) It's a red card with an ATI marked fan. I don't recall any Sapphire label, but I could have missed it. I was pretty excited to get it installed. Performance...

Short version: Is FX5200 better than gforce 4? Longer version: The game I'm looking forward to playing when released (Thief 3) requires at least gforce 3, NOT MX, DirectX 9, with vertex pixel shading. In my case it must also work under Win98 1st edition. I got a card off the net which didn't state...

im looking at the 9800pro and a number of websites have the sapphire 128bit version of the card on sale now for around $170. how much of a performance difference is there compared the 256bit card. TIA
