Guys,

can anyone tell me what the absolute best GFX card is at the moment. Money is not an object cos it's not for me.

ohhh...

I just posted on the general board....

Best gfx card out a.t.m is....Sapphire ATI Radeon X800 XT 256MB DDR3
Graphics Card

Well it aint otu yet....

But u can pre-order it from www.overclockers.co.uk

It comes in at £350 they come out the middle-end of June....And there is like a 60%-80% performance increase over any card out a.t.m!

It is using some **** hot memory on there :P

coldie,

EDIT: iv just orderd mine :P

also the new nvidia 6800 seems like a verry good card but like the man said X800 is muchios better

Just as a point I have seen how u can mode a x800 pro so it has 16 pipelines instead of 12... (XT standard)

Welcome to the world of the softmod.

Turns 9500's into 9700's, 9800 into Pro's & 9800 Pro's into XT's.

And yes the graphics card of the moment is the X800 XT.

where can you put the 9700 pro into then buddy

[Darkie]

You cant - They changed the PCB design (or something) when they rolled out the 9200, 9600 & 9800.

No freebes for you I'm afraid.

From what I have read on tech report, the pro has a pipeline "limiter", you need to solder two points to enable the full 16 pipelines. As for as I am aware, the is no softmod to do it.
