The driver makes a small difference to performance but not a big one. Its the card itself that determines your gaming performance. Probably you tried to play stuff that needed something better. And if there is a driver problem then you use a different version. Geez. I've had both Nvidia and ATI, various - over the years. Never had a problem with a driver ever.	pctek (84)
568851	2007-07-13 23:58:00	So basically you are going to play old games and watch demos? right? what the... you really do not deserve to have a card as powerful as these if you do not use it properly :groan:Yeah, sure. Old games are cool, :blush: Did I mention the Test Drive Unlimited game? Flight Simulator X? No? Tomb Raider Anniversary? Tomb Raider Legend? NFS Pro Street? Juiced 2? Probably you tried to play stuff that needed something better.Indeed yes, I always play games on cheap graphics card that time with GeForce 2 MX 400 and then 9550 GE, yeah, life was tough. But anyway I already got the money to spend on a new PC that's why I need a good card.	PedalSlammer (8511)

Well an 8800 will run them well. My GTS is now at 650MHz core and 2100MHz RAM, stock is 500MHz core and 1600MHz RAM, so you say there is no head room in them? :lol:	The_End_Of_Reality (334)

Just like X2900XT overclocked to 1GHz easily with stock cooler too? And do you can run this demo? I mean Ruby Whiteout on an 8800GTs 640MB ati.amd.com :thumbs: I'll be awesome dude, and I don't have to stick with ATI anymore.	PedalSlammer (8511)

I mean Ruby Whiteout on an 8800GTs 640MB ati.amd.com Its factory overclocked. And yes he can. Whiteout demo requires Windows Vista®, an ATI Radeon™ HD series product with 512MB of video memory and a high end CPU with 1GB of RAM And why would anyone care whether or not they can run a demo??? Especially one you have to install Vista for. Graphics cards are for GAMES.	pctek (84)

I mean Ruby Whiteout on an 8800GTs 640MB ati.amd.com :thumbs: I'll be awesome dude, and I don't have to stick with ATI anymore.... As pctek said it is factory OCed and I have also OCed it even further. You will NOT find a card that can do that WITHOUT a volt mod and WITHOUT phase change or greater cooling, you are talking rubbish now, a GTX can hit 1GHz, I am sure I could get this to 1GHz, I am willing to if you pay for a new one :lol: EDIT and the 2900 has a higher stock clock speed which means it is less of an OC to 1GHz so... go figure /EDIT And yes, I could run that if I wanted to... just because ATI have made it does NOT mean it will only run on ATI hardware :rolleyes: And you will not get an 8800 no matter how many people tell you :2cents: Its factory overclocked. And yes he can.

Especially one you have to install Vista for. Graphics cards are for GAMES. You are right... GFX cards are for games... Thinking that he wants to be able to run DEMO kinda makes me sick in the fact that the card will not be used for what it is supposed to :yuck:	The_End_Of_Reality (334)

GFX cards are for games . . . Thinking that he wants to be able to run DEMO kinda makes me sick in the fact that the card will not be used for what it is supposed toNvidia can't performed on that demo? Awww, looks like ATI card is better then . And OC, :lol:, you'll see, you'll see . Can WC OC count? :lol: And you will not get an 8800 no matter how many people tell you :2cents::) Besides, I wonder if any pressf1 people have the skills to drag me away from ATI cards, just like one forum drag me away from Cooler Master Stacker 830/832 to SilverStone TJ-09, but he did a lot of work convinced me that the TJ-09 got more benefits than the CM Stacker 830/832 yeah, it took quite a while too, and he owns a TJ-07 for some reason because he likes the TJ-07 style, yeah he is a Silverstone case fan . Can pressf1 do it before I purchase a PC? :waughh: Don't asked me because this is like an IQ game or dumb a** game if you prefer but maybe not . Come one Nvidia fans where's your spirit?

And yes, I could run that if I wanted to . . . just because ATI have made it does NOT mean it will only run on ATI hardware :rolleyes: In your post you said on stock cooling . . . that is crap, even water cooling will not be enough, phase change is whats needed to go that high . You know I hope you get the 2900 and you are dissappointed with it! I don't even care what case you get, you are all talk :rolleyes: Infact I hope you don't get an nVidia card, nVidia cards are too good for the likes of you who is obsessed with a digital model :lol: and will use it to play demos . . . :groan:	The_End_Of_Reality (334)

Because you want to sit ther with your 2900 and watch a demo endlessly . But then again we don't really care what you do .	pctek (84)
568859	2007-07-14 08:31:00	Noone can . Because you want to sit there Spelling Mistake mate . with your 2900 and watch a demo endlessly . But then again we don't really care what you do . Ah, can't wait, I still can't find many NZers play racing games how about you guys join me? It'll be kick a** man . Ah yes, disappointed with digital model? Come on use the correct term mate, Digital Super Star is the right one don't you think . Nalu is a dead fish, and I heard she was killed by Ruby from somewhere . No skill at all, ah, PressF1 just lose the round . Ding Ding, another go? :rolleyes:What if I get an Albatron 8800GTS 640MB, will you be surprised? No? :rolleyes: Let's see how long can PressF1 persuade me to get an 8800GTS instead of a X2900XT . As you know I don't get resource from one place, so? There's tug of war you know . I joined the X2900XT club and asked them about their X2900XT and they all say it's all cool man . Best driver to use? 7 . 5 for XP and 7 . 6 for Vista . Nvidia?	PedalSlammer (8511)
