Which Video Cards is Faster and with a Reasonable Price?

mas ubos og power consumption ang HD38xx series compared to the 8800GT when idle bro, 55nm man gud pud ang chip. pero @ load, halos pareho ra clag power consumption, pero mas nindot og performance ang 8800GT. so if usahay ra ka mag games, mga less than 40% of the time when you turn on your PC, mas maayo pag HD3850(ang hd3870 duol2x ra sa 88000gt ang consumption) nlng kung gusto ka katipid kuryente gamay. otherwise get the 8800GT

@STEEL_ICON
Hehe. Idle power seems Low for my HD3870. I think it's ok. Besides, I'm also using my PC for working purposes. Need to make another money making adsense site. hehe. para double na ako sweldo from adsense. ^_^

sakto lagi ko, 8800gt, hd3850, & hd3870 ra man atong gistoryahan, way labot nang mga high-end

[ace_maranga]

mao mao. wala na labot ang X2.

anyways, i'll still go with the HD3870 since my MoBo is Crossfire (Not SLI). so maybe next month, i'll buy another HD3870. yey

better make sure your mobo supports full dual-x16 Crossfire, basin man gud x16-x4 mode na siya.

if naa kay plano mag crossfire.. mag ATI HD3870 diod ka.. pero if dili, mag 8800GT diod ka kay mas kusog ang 8800GT sa 3870.. Pero mas hinay man ang 8800GT SLI kay sa 3870 ng crossfire. Naa pud na sa Tomshardware.com.

[ace_maranga]

So far so good for my HD3870. ^_^. is there anyways to overclock my video card. just asking? ^_^
