Ultimate Upgrade

Postby the_autopilot » Tue May 03, 2005 10:02 pm

Check out the New BFG 512 mb 6800 Ultras.

Unfortuately, it can't be bought anywhere except here:
http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=326014
And its out of stock. DAM.

You can also buy it as part of an alienware computer.

But I'm not paying for their insanely overpriced computers. I'll wait for zipzoom to get some in stock.

Can't wait to get two in SLI on my comp.

According to nvidia, I should see a 30-40% increase. I seriously doubt that as the latency of the extra 256 mb would hamper performence, but I'll see how it will turn out.

Hey auto, that sounds pretty good. Those increases are a bit optimistic though methinks... We'll see!

Thats what I think as well, but we'll see. Anyone else want to get 2 so we can share benchmarks?

Hey Autopilot...

I might get two of these beasts... wife permitting.  ;D

Sure, we can share benchmarks too, that would be cool!  :)

Cheers!

Rob.  :)
