ROFL you are joking I hope. Nvidia need competition at this level elsewise the cards will remain at a ridiculous price point, and Nvidia will not get the kick in the pants that's required for them to improve their often inferior, second rate, B quality product ;)

Only for the introduction of next/new generation technology do I feel it is worth waiting. If the technology is established then I would whole heartedly agree with you.

It beats them and is to be expected. "Murders" imho is an exageration. And please quote me in context. If the card fitted the hype then yes it would be spectacular and yes it would murder existing top line cards.

Because they want to bleed you dry for every last penny they can. Why give away an update to XP to enable DX10 games to be played when you can FORCE your OS bound customers to pay stupid amounts of money to beta test a new OS? The number of gamers taking on Vista would be very much lower if...

Yup looks good, but it's hardly spectacular. The hype surrounding this card promised more. Still I expect the hype around R600 to also give the impression of greater performance than that which will actually be realised. Thinking of my own needs with complete disregard to what others may...

rofl, you are absolutely right. I must have had my head up my a$$ this morning. I even have 1503 BIOS installed have had for weeks. sorry for the misleading info Matrix :o

As far as I am aware 1407 is the latest BIOS. AI booster is an auto overclocking utility for the desktop. Should you wish to overclock, for the best results, I recommend getting dirty in the BIOS and ignoring this tool. Cant help with driver question. I don't use onboard sound and my LAN...

Fun, excitement and having a machine that is faster than any off the shelf desktop PC, There is also; Getting more value for money, knocking time of the parity checking, decompressing and transcoding of 3Gb+ video files and other big multipart downloads ;) Enabling the use of more tracks and...

Coretemp and TAT are pretty much accurate and read temps directly from the die. Imho these temperatures should be used and not the lower temps reported by software that uses methods other than direct die monitoring. The temperature difference between on die reported by TAT and that reported...

I bought crucial memory twice in the past. Both failed, one set was ballistix. Their RMA service is excellent, I suppose it would have to be. If one gets a good kit they can be excellent, but it is too hit and miss. I will never buy crucial memory again.

all I can add is, check the power lead and mains ring that you are using. Check the spacers(if metal) and ensure they are in under the correct locations on mobo and only under those, and are of small enough width not to be shorting on any of the mobo tracks. Also check that the underside of...

I agree, waiting 6 months would be the prudent thing to do.

2 Days, for what? Is something interesting or exciting going to happen? ;)

May I suggest not using WMP? Try the open source Media Player Classic. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_Player_Classic

My mistake, I presume people keep saying this because like me, they know jack schitt about the Aero GUI :eek:

You will need a DX10 card to make full use of all the Vista GUI features. All ATI X1xxx series cards are DX9 so they will not run the full Aero interface of Vista. imho Vista will suck until the release of service pack 1, it will be worthwhile waiting. Elsewise yes :)

imho no. It may even be worth a 9 month wait, or at least until m$ collate all the user reported bugs and release the inevitable Vista service pack 1. :rolleyes: The second gen DX10 cards should also be more reliable and efficient than the first generation and I assume the drivers would be...

Maybe he meant dry squid :)

Here Here okimanoob, don't take too things personal. There is no one here worth getting upset over. And although you were jumped on, I think it was more tongue in cheek than a personal affront to you. You must be able to see it's not just children that behave like little kids. enjoy your...

Seeing as this little community is identified as overclockers.co.uk forums, it would imply that folks who frequent here overclock. Accepting that visitors often come for help in matters not relating to overclocking, the forum title is highly suggestive if not compelling ;)
