Praz Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 All QX6850s are G0 as far as I know. QX6850s are all G0 stepping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharmedLover84 Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 With the fact that someone with a Q6600 @ 3GHz is smoking me on 3DMark06 by 4K right now, I'm sure I'll pass them at stock with that thing because of the faster FSB. We'll see though, I'm just looking forward to having a brand new setup to fiddle with. Processor should be here Thursday... I'm still in a state of euphoria from having finally gotten exactly what I wanted LOL Even though it was more than I originally wanted to pay for it. Main increases I'm looking forward to, though, are FEAR, Oblivion, Dark Messiah and other games I plan to play the crap out of now that I can play them all the way up without turning the reso down to 1680x1050 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharmedLover84 Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 When I can afford it, I plan to get one For now I will be plenty happy with being able to run anything at 1920x1200 on max settings. LOL I just wish Oblivion's HDR and AA would work at the same time on NVidia cards... Dark Messiah does it just perfectly, why can't Oblivion? Grrr.

CharmedLover84 Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 I'd rather not wait to sell cuz I betcha money if I can get 1100 outta both my cards in two weeks, that'll cover around 80% (at least) of the cost of getting two brand new 9800GTXs when they come out hehe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praz Posted July 26, 2007 Posted July 26, 2007 if I can get 1100 outta both my cards in two weeks That might be a bit optimistic since two new Ultras can be had for for 1200.00 not including 40.00 in rebates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharmedLover84 Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 Yeah, we'll see, honestly anything over 900 will be perfectly okay by me lol anywho, I'm off to assemble my new system... I'll be online the whole time so expect questions to be posted under a general system assembly thread I'll start in the Intel thread if needed...

red930 Posted July 27, 2007 Posted July 27, 2007 What's the cost of your gaming experience for 3+ months? Yeah, you'll lose more money if you sell the 8800s now, but can you play games on a 'measly' 8600 until you can upgrade them? Personally, it's not really worth the loss in money, from a gamer's point of view. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
