Picked up this sweeeeet 6800GT :P

[glHalfLife]

Man this baby rox!

All I am missing now is sum SATA drives, and 800FSB! Oh and maybe a P4 3.2GHz (thats the next upgrade I guess!).

There's just one slight problem... I NEED HL2 NOW! :bounce: hehe

The x800 Pro sucks, x800 XT P.E. is tight.

I'd say very good move with the 6800 GT.

Bet you didn't know the X800 series kicks ass when rendering a scene with a lot of geometry.

Do you really mean that? Because I really didn't mean that. I am a proud owner of one!

What did you upgrade from?

Get hold of Doom 3 (buy or get demo) it looks SWEET at 1600x1200. That should give you all the eye candy you need till HL2 is out.

I'm gettin' me a 6800 GT next month, I hope. Quick question though, I read somewhere about it coming with a power cable? Does it need to be hooked up to the power supply? The fan, perhaps? Atleast, the one I was looking at did.

I upgraded from a Geforce Ti4200 128MB.

Doom 3 came free with the card

It has a standard power socket at the back of the card, which is like you would put into the back of a CD drive or Hard Drive etc...

It sucks so much.

True, it does suck. I have one and I regret getting it every day. The 6800 GT is usually 50% faster than the X800 Pro, and in Doom 3, its 75+% faster. The 6600 GT even gives the X800 Pro a run for its money. And it is noticable, I can't even play Far Cry with 4x AA because of lag, and in Doom 3 I get down to like 5 fps when fighting the hell boss, and I only use 2x AA. Its not my system because I have an Athlon 64 3200+ and 1GB Kingston HyperX memory. The problem is not my configuration because I've formatted many times and installed all the proper drivers. The problem is the X800 Pro plain SUCKS!
