lolYeah boy W1ntry, UltimateGamer does come across a lot like TriniTheReturnOfGamez two years ago. I wonder if it his suppressed alter ego taking form?
Hoss, an All In Wonder is not a good choice for a gamer. It's better to get a tv tuner separate. It's never as good as its tunerless bretherin.
Ignoring the ignant partNow that d ignorant part finish leh we talk some business. Yeah de man say that he need ah video card and have $3000 to spend, but we not absolutly certain he have the correct motherboard or a decent amount of ram. All yuh could tell him that if he buy a new card that all will be well, but truley fellas we are all gamers here, if yuh do have ram, yuh wastin yuh time trying to get them new games running smooth, regardless of yuh video card.All valid points, but take into account that RAM is relatively cheap and merely buying Low latency memory isn't going to help if you don't spend the extras on all the other litte bits like an expensive mobo. He said he wanted just a Video card so let's consider the possibilities shall we:1. Is a AGP rig we looking at be it P4 or Athlon 754/939/XPThe P4 and AXP won't benefit significantly from LL ram unless he plans of OC to the hills. But not everyone does that and a man looking to ask advice about a video card eh really sounding like a man ready to potentially fry his machine. So to be honest, he could buy 1-2GB of Corsair Valueram for <100USD. He obviously alreayd have memory so it's prolly only an upgrade as best. In any event he could still buy decent latency memory for <100USDSee:ValueramPatriot 2-3-2-5-1T LLSo basically if is a AGP mobo with 3G to spend, he could still buy a 300USD card + 1GB memory comfortably.D next thing welcome to my niche...................graphics cards. While all yuh tryin to insult me I sure all yuh go feel a bit foolish all yuh self LMAO, not really. I recommended the X1800XL however your version was not the one i was going for:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102642I was thinking all in wonder so the man get hookup on TV tuner too.http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1696403&CatId=0Well if is a AIW yuh want, then no X1k series for AGP so I won't continue here, but he could go like me with a X800XT AIW and that's SUB 300USD.On the PCIe side which you would clearly have to had assume it was with a X1k series card, here's the X1900AIW which is STILL a 300USD card.Also i wasnt looking for your version of the X1800XThttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814195019I was thinking big, more like the crossfire edition frankly because my website didn't have your standard version available so i had no price to reference it withhttp://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1647372&CatId=0And get real here look i pull up d X1900XT right herehttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814195002ahhh what $499 and not $400 what ehh. ohhhhh yuh silent now. You clearly don't keep abreast of the price wars do you CHECK HERE There's your LESS THAN 400USD after rebate X1900XT, what was it, i'm silent now??? oh and btw there's a lovely X1900GT for EVEN less than 300USD... 1 more thing, the prices gonna continue to drop more than likely (you can blam the 7950 GX2 for this price drop)Get out ah d cartoon world yuh livin in where you feel yuh know everything, take ah breath and give way to new ideas.Actually yuh lucky Synth or Beomagi eh post in this thread, they were/are the tech guru'sI didn't come here for you and me to beef because i doh roll that way, so d next time yuh want to help ah member............. help him but save yuh insults! If we've insulted you, we (GATT as a whole) apologize. Misunderstandings can lead to nonsense and we is all reasonable ppl on some level, so if yuh felt slighted doh study, is all a learning process (for us all)To the guy who wants the video card..........I realise that this is not what you expected but in a way W1 right, that version of the X1800Xt is a very good card and comes highly recommended BUT BUT BUT BUT BUT BUT save your money, hold your horses and all ah dat. With the coming of DirectX 10 all of the current card will become obsolete ( in terms of not being direct X 10 compatible, will still use direct X 9) and if yuh plannin on running HALO 2 for PC as best as it could possible look you are going to need to use a direct X 10 compatible card. SO HOLD OFF TILL DEC, or JAN 2007, then pick up and treat yuh self to something very few trinidadians will have. This is a recommendation I give to all my friends, and buy a temporary 6 series g force or something to play some games for d time being. I wouldn't recommend a 6 series as the 7 series is superior with a decent price if he goes with a 76xx mid-ranged card/ He'll get on par if not better performance from the 76xx vs. a 68xx card. There is even a 7800GS AGP part that is AGP if he is on de AGP front. IT's hands down the most powerful AGP card out there.I hope you consider my advice, fellas sorry if i was rude to all yuh but i doh take disrespect lightly yuh know, I have a trini side to me too, lol. Aight we go pickup and feel free to respond to my post. Is a cool scene, man hadda defend heself and thing we try not to offend noone so if once in a while it get heated, yuh live yuh learn. Point is yuh still here and we all learn something or de oda.Ritz Bitz and Crixi out
