Well I did it!

Post by DaddyRabbit »

Currently running an MSI 8800GT OC and I pulled the trigger just now on this:

I'm sure that I'm going see a performance increase, how much I don't really know, but after spending the money I WILL see one, real or not [-o<

I was strictly ATI (mainly due to IQ) for a long time until the 8800 release where they just couldn't keep up and NV fixed their IQ issues but I'm feeling good about going back to "red" now :supz:

Since I have an X38 board I can, worst case, Xfire two of these bad boys (with a bigger PSU methinks) and still be happy.

I'm not due for an upgrade for a while, but when I get the chance I will probably go ATI also. My board is crossfire, so I might as well.
