I WON!!!

[acole1]

it's so awesome!

3x the speed of my 7600GT CO on 3DMarks (custom run, 1083 to 3486)

GRAW is smooooth all the way up, and nothing I have will make it slow down.

Only problems I am having are some driver issues in GRAW with shadows and stuff... and the driver crashed once, but in-game it is simply stunning!

Only question now is to keep, or sell!

:heart:

Keep, you cant get much better than the gts. Maybe sell both and buy a gtx used?

You should chrome it and mount it on the wall. It'll make a great conversation piece.

Sell it on eBay for $550. Invest a bit more and get the GTX!

 

[LifeStealer]

They only give out a GTS and GTX? No other prizes?

 

[Zenoth]

Save up and buy another 8800 GTS for SLi set-up.

SLi at the price of one = almost priceless.

No one would buy it off eBay for $550 when they can be had new for about $530 after tax 😛

I noticed a 19" samsung that will be on sale for $120 day after thanksgiving... so I might sell my 7600GT and get that.

Kind of a waste using an 8800GTS with only 1280x1024 😛

I got 3x the score of my 7600GT.

7600GT = 1083
8800GTS = 3486

it was a custom run at 1280x1024, no CPU tests only the demo tests and texture/fill tests.
