Nyt Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 Hi guys, So I was looking around for a good gpu for my 2nd build and I found someone with a good deal on this card : The ASUS EAH4770 Formula What do you guys think ? Im hoping to game at around 1080p on lowest settings and run smooth at like 30FPS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyt Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 I also have found a deal on a 8800GTX. What do you guys think ? 8800GTX or 4770 ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MercuryDoun Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 4770 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyt Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 Why Merc ? The specs just seem to be on the 8800GTX's side , 86GB/s bandwirdth compared to 50GB/s . 24 ROPs compared to 16 ROPS . 384 bit mem compared to 128 bit . 32 Texture Address Units compared to 16 TAU Only thing is that looks different is that the one is DDR3 and other is DDR5 But the 8800GTX has more mem and the power consumption is higher (but a good 600 watt should handle a 8800GTX) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owenisbad Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 I'd go with the 8800gtx if it was me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
El_Capitan Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 Lol, my first thought entering this post was: , not again, Nyt! 8800GTX Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Locutus Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 I'd only go for the 8800 if it was (brand) new. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyt Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 Lol, my first thought entering this post was: , not again, Nyt! Lol yeah but there isnt much higher I can go from dual 580's The 8800GTX is in very good condition , I've also heard that they can clock high to get 100+ Gb/s bandwidth . This card will soon be put under water hopefully . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyt Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 Also got some more offers ... The 4770 deal is around $45 in converted currency while theres a 8800GT 512mb for the same price of $45 The 8800GTX and GTS250 is $60 While someone has a GTS450 for $80 which is out of my budget What should I get ?

El_Capitan Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 What's this second build for? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyt Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 Project Volturnus is a prototype watercooling build , so far its just the cpu planned but the gpu may be wc'ed soon which is why Im kinda leaning to a 8800GT 512mb . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedway Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 Lol, my first thought entering this post was: , not again, Nyt! 8800GTX LMAO, Capi I was thinking the same thing! The 8800 was the beast of it's time! I even still have one I would def go with it! You also won't see much of a difference between the GT and GTX, but if you can spring for the extra $15, then why not Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
