Post your system specs!

[baumaxx1]

I would buy a new card but not enough money right now.

Lol... if you have contacts in China... import a few 9800s, sell them cheap, and make a profit... lol. A nerd friend made $100 off getting a 8800 Ultra, selling it for $700 used and got a 8600 in the deal, and then got a 9800 for $600.

[S2000_Skyline12]

I don't get it. He gained in a big way, lost in a big way and gained again? xD

[Carcrazy]

He made $700 and got a free 8600, then spent $600 on a 9800, leaving him $100.

[S2000_Skyline12]

I understand that. I didn't see the point of going high end, low, just to go back to high.

[PSZeTa]

I don't think his point was to go back to a slower card, he just got it in the deal. In the end, he earned some money and a card for upgrading his PC.

Exactly... because the card was $1000 at that time, he made a bit, and waited for the 9800 to come out, which turned out cheaper and he couldn't afford if he didn't sell the 8800.
He's maxing Crysis now. Has anyone seen a comparison between PCI-E and PCI-E2 yet?

I decided to stay with my old hardware and upgrade my watercooling system as my previous looked like a disaster. I haven't really upgraded my PC anymore as I found a new (expensive) hobby 1,5 year ago, so I can live with medium settings in games. Only thing I'll be getting real soon is a new Samsung Spinpoint F1 HDD.

Wow man, very nice I like the case, cool specs too

Getting this stuff soon

And now you're in heaven...
Lol... I have a 7600GT, 2 years when I got it for $300 AUD, it was OMG OMG OMG PWNAGE! Now it is like... hmm, multi platform game? Studio? Hmm, EA and made for every console, this'll run crap... although... at least I was able to play it unlike Juiced 2.

[S2000_Skyline12]

Lol, the 7600GT was mid-range'd by the 78GT+'s quick rofl

The 3870 may have been surpassed by the 48xx series, but it still packs a whallop for high res gaming
