    x850 pro vs 6800GS

    Right after listening to all the advice and reading reviews of similar cards on the net, it seems like the x850pro is the card for me, since it is slightly faster at stock and not much more expensive (it is also a fairly reputable make). Even though it's not likely to unlock, im not going to...

    x850 pro vs 6800GS

    Not really. They are only fill rate numbers, rather than an actual head-to-head game comparison of the two cards. I'm still leaning in favour of the x850pro myself, but some people seem to be strongly in favour of the 6800GS as well, which is all kind of confusing. No one has really benchmarked...

    x850 pro vs 6800GS

    Thats exactly the way i feel about it (as i stated before im going on a worse-comes-to-worst scenario that it doesn't unlock), which is why i am steering away from unlocking and going for the best card on its own. So far it seems that the x850pro is winning the fight, although as yet no one has...

    x850 pro vs 6800GS

    Well, looking around i can't find any AGP Sapphire x800GTO2 cards to buy in the UK (if you've got a site then please let me know). Is the success rate on those 100%? I've been hearing that it is close to that, but im not terribly sure. Also how successful are the unlocks on the 6800GS? I've...

    x850 pro vs 6800GS

    Hmmm, the x850pro does seem to have better fill rates than the 6800GS, and does appear to be faster overall. Does this translate into real-life performance gains in games? Also what about Pixel Shader 2 vs P.S 3? I've heard this translates to very little in real life, is this true? Would the...

    x850 pro vs 6800GS

    Altec, would you be able to quantify that statement with a reason? Does it perform faster? Also, assume that the x850Pro can't be unlocked to the x850XT, (a customer review of the card im looking at buying suggested that there was little to no luck with unlocking of this particular brand...

    x850 pro vs 6800GS

    I'm sorry to create another of these threads, however I need some advice on a future video card. I'm looking for an upgrade to my current system (see below) to last me untill i go to university (about a year and a half). Being bound by an AGP slot has severely limited my options, however I still...

    Revolution Controller!

    Well, it looks like i'm in the minority here, but I actually think that the controller looks good and may well be a "revolution" in terms of video gaming. I think it has the potential to generate the most innovative and interesting games in years. FPS's would be like using a mouse, and it would...

    Need Advice on Components for a Birthday PC. Sub £800.

    That RAM is basically value RAM. The only cheaper stuff I could find is Corsair Value Ram at £80 or Generic RAM at £70, which is only a small saving and I think the extra performance would justify the £15 price premium. Unless, that is, you know of some cheaper PC3200 RAM that would do the...

    Need Advice on Components for a Birthday PC. Sub £800.

    Hullo everyone. I have been tasked with building/buying a PC to go in my little brothers bedroom as a 16th birthday present. Problem is, I'm not sure what components i should buy, and all the buyers guides I see are written for US users, and so are in dollars and often cheaper than is available...

    Dual Monitors - 2nd Monitor on Wrong Side

    Well Tengis, it would have worked, however doing that wasn't an option to me as the secondary monitor is really poor compared to the primary. Plus the secondary is quite a way away from my desk :)

    Dual Monitors - 2nd Monitor on Wrong Side

    I have just recently set up a 2 monitor system (not a very good one, however it will do). Thing is, my second monitor is on the left hand side of my primary one, however when I move the curser off the right hand side of my primary monitor it appears on the secondary one. I want to swap this...

    Socket A XP 3000+, Need A Good Air-Based HSF, Suggestions?

    Alright, thanks for the responses. It seems as though most of the decent coolers are all within a few degrees of each other, so basically i'll look thorough all of your suggestions and find a quiet fan. Thanks guys.
