this thing is so amazingly powerful, i haven't been able to make it stutter or slow at all with any game I own  FS runs great and somehow looks better too.

I'm waiting for the next amazing breakthrough now

[color=66ff00]I can happily say enjoy; probably only because I've been saving for a bit and can afford a monster system if I so wished.

You can have your 6800 GT. I'm not jealous. Why? Because I:

• have a sweet 9600 XT which runs excellently and cost me a fraction of what you spent
• Just bought a kick ass spoiler for my car (Which has been repaired and will get painted in a few weeks)
• Still have enough money to buy both sweet rims and tires for my car, and a new processor and memory upgrade for my PC.

So enjoy. ;) :p

GeForce cards suck anyway. Radeon 0wnage.

Most people don't give a rat's petute about 3-4 pecentage point, Lightspeed.

Maybe they give a damn about extremely higher energy consumption, an extremely worse card layout, an extremely worse thermal solution,....

And... additionally to that.... it's nVidia *shudders* (I know I'm biased )

[BlackDove]

I don't want to hear that from someone who was using a 3dfx Voodoo while everyone else had something that was using an AGP slot.

Oh yeah, I forgot something important.

nVidia sucks.

[Lightspeed]

Why, my Voodoo rocked. I could even play Freelancer half-decently with it!

3dfx owned. Sad that they got left behind, actually.

[Liberator]

Not too mention the fact that some of us were too stupid back then to get(that's right "get" not "build") a computer with an AGP slot.  BTW, I upgraded from a Voodoo 3 2000 16mb to a Nvidia Geforce 4 MX 420 64mb.

[Lightspeed]

My Voodoo was an AGP-card.

I can sense jealousy of the poor. And I don't need jedi powers for that.

lol.  i'll bet you can go at high speeds with greatly improved traction and handling now

if the card sucks so much, why are so many people buying it, when they could get, for more-or-less- the same price, the radeon x800... which is obviously superior

[Nix]

Lightspeed's right about the card layout.  on my new 9800 Pro, the card is about an inch shorter in length than my old Geforce 4400 card.  Plus, having to shell out money for another power supply along with a 6XXX series card just makes me shudder.  I lost a piddly modem due to a power brownout that happened a while back.  With that much power running through that card, imagine what could happen if there was a brownout/spike/whatever.  
Especially after spending the major dough for that card to see it fry.  *SHIVVER*

[Liberator]

As I understand it, the card doesn't actually need all that much more power.  It just needs more than the AGP slot can provide, PCI-E has addressed this but you'd have thought They would have seen the power needs coming and beefed up the standard ahead of time.  Regardless, Nvidia's recommendation of PSU size is to ensure a stable current flow to the card like it gets from the bus.

[Stealth]

i've heard it's more power demanding, and a lot of people that get it get new power supplies too.

i still think it's funny that a video card has more RAM and draws more power than the rest of the computer
