The few, the proud, the leet.

If you're going to spend the money on it, get it from Asus. They offer the best package. I say wait a few months for the G86 to surface. It'll be on par with the 8800GTX but hundreds less.

well yes it is old news but i m glad you brought it out to the less hardware minded. this thing beat a x 1950 by 92% is most tests- amazing. I am an ATI fanboy, so it pains be to say that they're gonna have to do some serious work on R600 to beat this thing.

I'm hopefully getting a dual next year.

By the way, as leet as the Quad is, it isn't really meant for gaming.

90 percent performance increase in Half Life 2 and Quake 4. I'll probably get one of these next year when price becomes more reasonable.

P.S. Our eyes only see 100,000 colors.

Too expensive, demands too much from your computer. Water cooling, {I read 500W PSU, but 450, still). Also, have you guys checked its benchmarks against the 7950GX2? The GX2 is about 1/2 the price, and they are both benchmarking very close, the GX2 wins badly on some games, like quake 4.

This link does not say that the gx2 gives higher framerates, because the res that I read it gives higher framerates was 1280 x 1024. Anyways, it benchmarks super high on 3dmark, but in games it isnt really that much better. The MSI 8800gts actually loses to lower cards even on 1600 x 1200 at time, it is super expensive. Quite embarrassing and disappointing IMO.

Does the 7950GX2 support DX10? No, thats the whole point for the Geforce 8 Series. Also, dont forget that the 7950GX2 has two cores inside, so it's possible for a card in the Geforce 8 Series to have dual cores.

does it matter if it can support directx 10 or if it has to cores? If something is cheaper and better than something else that is new, adn can run games better, I think we don't need a rocket scientist to figure out that is terrible.

The only thing that matters to me is how it runs Crysis. Still, Nessy has a -blam!- point.
