hey all:
ive been coming to this site for many years and reading all your reviews and you are usually dead on
i got a problem this time.
well let me explain i just bought a BFG 8800gts ($500.00) lucky i didnt get the GTX and i run windows xp x64
why didnt the review say anything about it not being able to run anything in openGL
and that currently there are absolutely no vista drivers at all?
im not blaming you all (i should have investigated further into it) but i usually ho here and dare i say it (tomshardware and firingsquad too)
none of these sites said nothing about it not working in winxp x64
your site is the most unbiased there is for revies imho
did they make you sign a NDA about it not working with win xp x64?
look at this
on my video card box it says DX10 and in the very next line it says supported OS = windows xp 32bit
now last time i checked winxp is DX9.0 and the last time i checked what DX10 belonged to was vista
now this isnt a great first post but i really feel like you should have given your readers a heads up instead of going along with all the other hype about this card is the crap...(everysite said that)
this card barely works in winxp x64 and x86
now i know nvidia will have good drivers sometime but i for sure would not have bought this card within the first weeks of its release (we pay crazy premiums for that)
i could have waited until a month from now and i know it would have been lower and if i would have waited 2months R600 would be another choice and i know these 8800 cards would be alot cheaper
OH and some other big pease of news:
if you goto http:\\forums.nvidia.com get ready to get banned
i personally seen over 30 ppl banned just today alone
stop in and say something you will see what i mean
god what happened to nvidia
but for real there are about 4-5 sites i goto everyday
