Just wondering how much difference the 25mhz actually makes like in a game?
Would you even notice?


Thanks

IMO it's not about noticing it, it's about sqeezing every last drop of performance from the videocard.. I don't even bother OCing a lot of my newer videocards cause they are usually plenty strong enough to push high FPS, but when it comes to a point where I can't run smoothly, then I start to OC... with these 6800 series cards running so hot, it kinda worries me to be overclocking them a lot.... maybe with an afermarket cooler... but 70C does not sit well with me.

Craig,

Looks like I found a couple of the non deluxe ASUS cards in stock. Looks like i'll be getting those maybe. They aren't overclocked like the BFG but I don't are. After the warranty runs out and I decide to OC it i'll just put on an NV silencer and overclock it. I'll be running OCZ ram and the Abit AV8 so I should be able to push it some. Plus I can get these for 532 a piece.

We just want to get these machines together here soon. I guarantee there isn't a person on this forum with a slower computer than me. I NEED this new computer before I just die. I borrowed my g/f laptop and got a taste of XP and newer games and now I am in PAIN wanting MORE!~!!@!#%)@#%)@#%

probably Limited Edition... Wasn't this one of the ones that was rejected as an Ultra or something and sold for less?
