Nice, wangerin! I wonder how high we could OC that E8400 in Edwood's machine? I got it to 3.6GHz with no sweat, I bet it's got at least 3.9-4.0 in there.

You guys should get rid of the GTS's and get a 8800 GT 512...i upgraded my 640 GTS and with the overclock its MILES ahead of the 320/640 GTS.

Or a 9800GTX. They're going for peanuts nowadays and extremely fast too!

That's a very nice laptop! How much did it cost?

 

[skyline889]

The 9800GTX is basically just an overclocked 8800GTS 512mb, so it's not worth the premium imo, especially when the GTS can be had for around $200 these days and with proper cooling, can be OC'd to the same speeds. I don't game too much right now and I don't play Crysis so I'm going to wait for the 9900GTX before I really upgrade since the targeted release date is only a few months away and it's said to be much more of a step-up than the G80 -> G92. I'm also not really a fan of single slot cards, ie 8800/9600GT, so I would prefer to wait. The only card I would've considered right now would've been the 8800GTX and that thing runs too hot for my liking so I decided against it.

My MSI 8800 gts (g92) oc version @ 730 - temps hit 59c load in crysis @ 1050 res using high settings. (Thats using an Accelero s1 rev 2.
