    4850 VS 4870 VS 9800GTX+

    HDMI would be cool coz the monitor does support it. It seems in Aus the gtx260 is about $350 with the 4870 about $320 so it is tempting to go gtx260 but i think i might be spending too much

    Price Point / Performance Winners at $300 or less

    I hadnt even thought of getting a 4870 but they are cheap...so cheap. Seriously how can they sell a 4850 for 300 at centre com when you can get a 4870 for 40 more bucks. I think i might wait for a few better brands to join in though. I dont know if i trust GeCube

    Price Point / Performance Winners at $300 or less

    aNy1 know if the Physix Support on the 9800gtx is gonna push it past what the 4850 can dish out. Since the new drivers enable that and the CUDA CPU support thingy

    Any suggestions on my new system

    Hey Guys, Thanks for all the help, ive pretty much decided to go with an intel single GPU set up. I had a look at the P35 but couldnt find a board that had PCI express 2.0, since i want to be able to put a new card in it in a few years this is bad right? Is there a Asus or Gigabyte...

    Any suggestions on my new system

    What we really need is a p35 vs p45 vs 750iFTW benchmark or something for a single card to see if the complaints are really that justified. Its all so confusing. I like the 750i FTW seems like a pretty damn good board. But if the P35/45 is better for a single GPU then since im...

    Any suggestions on my new system

    So Ive been looking at some P45 boards, and they are a bit cheaper than the evga 750i FTW. But seem more suited to crossfire and i really want to stick with the Nvidia GPU. So In closing if indeed p45 is a btter route than the 750i whats a good board. Does anyone have any feedback on a Asus...

    So if i was being convinced that maybe SLI wasnt the best decision, and really will only run 1 nvidia card. What new motherboard should i be getting.

    Any suggestions on my new system

    Yeah i was thinking a corsair 520hx or 620hx, dont really know which one I will need though. Anyone know if going Nvidia chipset is going to seriously hamper my system compared to a intel....or is it just not going to be Overclockable..this is really the one thing holding me back from buying...
