they only have 1x 6800 card (a GT one) and it's 2nd hand

AndyRST

I run a 6800 (not ultra or GT) and they are brilliant, the best bit of kit you can buy for the cheapness of them. Guess thats why they all sold out. Overclockers.co.uk were selling them at £111 few weeks back, might be worth a call to see if they got anymore hiden?

DanRSturbo

There's a couple on e-bay m8, but, I'm dubious about buying one

DanRSturbo

This could be worth a look

DanRSturbo

Zetec Andy

aparently they kidnap you and change you into a borg like state

the cut scene is supposed to be awesome

pc game junkie "with not a lot of time to play them "

Zetec Andy

badcompany, you played half life 2? i bought the collectors edition but after about 5 hours play it gets too scary

Dan B

Finished it ages ago, it can get a bit jumpy!

If you think HL2 is scary, don't try FEAR! Not played the full game, but it was very reminiscent of an old game called Clive Barker's Undying, which uses instant-loading cut-scenes to GREAT effect to scare the living daylights out of you!

Zetec Andy

Dan, i only got as far as them meathead things turning into jumping, wall climbing dogs and that was enough for me

SS1

iTrader: (3)

yeah i finished it too awesome game but towards the end

was a lot of stealling ideas from the matrix i thought

FARCRY ROCKS

and i got the new thief game here thats supposed to be good ????

JUST DONT GET TIME TO PLAY THEM

always fall back to old faithfull BATTLEFIELD 2

YOU CAN GET A GOOD GAME ON HERE

THE QUAY CRANE WITH THE CONTAINER WAS

Dan B

And just wait to see how much you panic when one of the soldiers in your group screams out "STRIDERS!!!!"

i can feel a reinstall coming on

Dan B

My "games" partition is 210GB, I have no need to actually uninstall games after I finish them (not yet, anyway)

Zetec Andy

Just found the spec of the 7800GTX.........

Key Specifications
• 430MHz core clock speed
• 1.2GHz 256MB GDDR3 memory
• 256-bit memory interface
• 38.4GB/s memory bandwidth
• 24 pixels per clock
• 10.32Bps Fill Rate
• 8 Vertex Pipes
• 860M vertices/second
• 400MHz RAMDACs
• NVIDIA CineFX 4.0 engine
• Intellisample 4.0 technology
• 64-bit FP texture filtering & blending
• NVIDIA SLI Ready
• DX 9.0 / SM 3.0 & OpenGL 2.0 supported

sound good?

Dan B

I'm going for the 512MB version, core clock speed is 583MHz and memory clock speed is 1.73GHz, with 512MB instead of 256MB...

The only downfall is the £517 price-tag!

SS1

iTrader: (3)

what does the 512MB MEAN IS IT RAM ????

DanRSturbo

if i was andy would buy that one as stu said walks the walk plays flawless

and in 3 months time his new 7800GTX will be out of date again

why pay for extra anti analising and stuff when its really EYE CANDY WISE

SEEMS TO DO FUCK ALL ..

im happy with my setup ..the gig of ram may help not to sure

because of the multi thread thing converts 1 into 2 ram

knowbody answered that question ????

SEEN a lot of threads about you need 2 gig of ram ..but with my mbored

may not need it but as was said before ..loads of ram is always cool on intensive game s

Zetec Andy

Im not bothered about it being upto date pal, i just want very good and smooth graphics
