i think hes just waiting for a similar amd solution

Hey Darky ! Congrats Man ! That's an AAAAWesome rig !

What's your HSF ? And how many Amps on the +12V line does this fully loaded SLI+6800GTs suck up: do the card specs say anything ? KPPL could use this as a big time ad for PowerSafe !!!

BTW, think I read somewhere that running the vanilla 6800s (?) in SLI produced tearing and color distortion artifacts - apparently due to electrical interference between the cards.

Let me know where you're getting the XP-90 from ? I was looking at TT Pipe 101 sometime back.

Have A Great Time with your Rig !

I will need to lend someone's digital camera to take pics.

Anyway I will get somone's camera and post some pics.

**TechHead** · 06-01-2005

Nice upgrades, Darky. Good stuff!
Hey Mask, me up for the heist.. you take teh 6800s and I'll take the CPU and Mobo

**saumilsingh** · 06-01-2005

Sweet cabinet!
Except maybe the grey plastic mouldings (hate plastic, ruins everything with it's tacky looks).

That other cabinet would really sleek with similarly cut side panels, maybe even better since it doesn't have those tacky plastic mouldings.

Me in for the heist too. Mind blowing to say the least, now some gaming benchies darky how bout HL2 and Chronicles of Ri**** for starters. Also if you can get a demo of the warhammer 40k game do post the FPS as the game stutters on a 9800 pro

**Chaos** · 08-01-2005

It doesn't even run on my machine. BSODs just after the intro video

... on all drivers since Cat 4.10

**funkymonkey** · 08-01-2005

you know once you get used to cuting edge stuff its difficult to resist upgrading

I decided I wont buy another graphic card for 2 years when i got 9700np, but bought 5900U and decided no other graphic card for 2 years.
Couldnt resist and got 9800XT.
Then I again decided surely now i wont upgrade for good 2 years but ended up geting 6800GT.
Then I decided sure now 6800GT gota last me for 2 years. but couldnt resist getting X800XT

This always happens always happens to me.
Since I got my own private PC in 1999 I have gone through 9 processors, 8 motherboard 7 graphic cards and 6 set of RAM , 2 watercooling kits. whopping 9 cabinets. The only thing i was able to resist upgrading was monitor. Used my measly 14" till end of 2002. Then got 17" FLAT CRT.
Bah I gota stop now..........But I cant

^^ Loan me some cash.

BTW Chaos hows yer 6800 GT's and your Socket 939's mobo. And which game were you refering to ? Also btw if I sell my Radeon here for 10k and get a 6600 GT from US will it be worth the headache ? I havent seen any 6600 Gt's in action as yet yeah they are faster but dont seem to be much faster..

Hm... those losers haven't sent the GTs yet... Booked on Dec 17th. Still not arrived. Out of stock it seems. I got socket 754 machines only. The 939 chips were a little out of budget.

Edit: no point swapping a rad 9800 for a 6600Gt. Performance gained is not worth all the effort! 6800GT/X800XL is another story
