wahoo to ATi hahaaaa!!!

[Spec-V]

t'was the 512 MB version of the X1800 XT. The results is not yet convincing unless t'was paired w/ a 256 MB version of X1800 XT. Ang naka labad pud aning ATI dili kaayo sila maka deliver dayon sa mga retail stores. Puro limited ang ilang supply. Back then the X850 XT P.E. is like a diamond on the rough....lisod kaayo pangitaon sa retail stores kung na-a man gani grabi ka mahal pud. So ang end result...people will shift to Nvidia. I am about to rebuild my system this December 2005, if ATI wont have the goods by that time - then I have to go w/ Nvidia.

la sad nila gi consider using SLI or Crossfire heheh

[muzikfreakah]

Yup no SLI and Crossfire

Just for basic performance lang

You're constantly observing in Doom 3 benchmarks bro.
3d mark is more credible benchmark test compared to a single game Doom 3.

When it comes to ATIs availability sayon raman pangitaon bro,
Just don't look for it only in a single store PC Express.

No Im not observing the Benchmarks for Doom 3 Engines.Â* But somehow as you readÂ* that was posted, It was the 512 Mb version not the 256 Mb so its not a clear cut winner.Â*

I am purchasing my P.C. parts @ tigerdirect & newegg for onlineÂ* but not that much, coz I hate doin it or giving info on my credit card on the net.Â* I am more comfortable buying my stuff @ retail stores like Microcenter, EQ Computers, Bestbuy & Compusa.Â* As I've mentioned about the X850 XT PE, last year it retails around $600 to $700 even @ newegg & tigerdirect...ana ka mahal unya nihit pa dyud sa retail stores.

Now I am planning ordering a Brand New Rig from the ground up @ the is site: http://www.cyberpowersystem.com/ which is fairly cheaper than Alienware, Falcon northwest or Vicious PC.Â* Â*

O.T. I am not planning on B.Y.O. due to time constraints.Â* CozÂ* I am making another room & a bathroom @ my house.

yaza.. nganong ila man i bangga ang 256 ug 512.. way pulos ilang test...

^ on a side note, even though ATI is 512 MB but it has only 16 pipelines while the Nvidia has 24 Pipelines.Â*
