Ok. I just got 2 6800GTs in in the mail. I now have to go out and buy some PSU adaptors. I'll be back asap. It's nice though. As much as I love Dual 6600GTs I think I'll like Dual 6800GTs even more. When I get back I'll get some benches. screenshots.

 

[XxCrashxX]

and what do you plan to do with the 2 6600s ???

Definetly looking forward to some benches

 

[ChrisRay]

Not really sure at this point what is to become of the 2 6600GTS,. But I cant think about them right now.. not with 2 6800GTS in my rig ^^ Here is a little teaser bench from 3dmark03.

 

[Phoenix]

I'll be waiting for your report man

 

[D.D.]

wut a crazy guy XD.

/me wishes he had such toys to play with.

 

[bahamut_2006]

I will also wait for this report. Should be interesting, even though my one 6800GT fits all my needs atm. Congrats on getting those cards btw.

 

[RF]

Dont have too much fun ChrisRay... J/K, have enough fun for me aswell

I await another awesome review.

 

[ChrisRay]

I know ya'll thinking I'm an insane. And I gotta admit. I am with you on that. But I cant help but proud of it either. This machine has alot of power in it and I imagine its staying in the game for some time to come. I dont think I coulda gotten a sweeter setup.. Well An Athlon 64 4000+ but meh that doesnt excite me that much

I just did a 3dmark2k1 bench and while the bench is completely useless. this setup performs alot better than my 6600GT did, I only got 21k with 2 6600GTs in 2k1. But I got somethen much better with the Dual 6800s
Surprisingly considering how CPU limited it is.

Damn you chris,being able to now play with dual gt's,looking forward to your review.

 

[cooliscool]

.....

 

[ChrisRay]

Well you know cool. I just may be able to work somethen out with you and that 9800 Pro. I am just aprehensive of trading over the internet.. its like... a.. well.. I had one trade go bad and it was a mess and I hate the hassle

 

[cooliscool]

Hey, I'm just jealous is all, if you couldn't tell..

But you really can trust me on this Chris. I'd not only appreciate it alot but I promise you the transaction will go smoothly.. you've got my word. If you want to, PM me anytime with your details and I'll ship you a money order for the price you want. I've also got some hardware and other things you may be interested in.

Just can't handle this 5200 anymore, and with all the videocards you have, you shouldn't miss the 9800P too much.

 

[ChrisRay]

Alright, How does 60 dollars + shipping fees sound? 72 bucks even should cover it.I also need to test it again.. before I agree to trade you anything. It's been sitting in a box for a while now. Unless you want faster shipping. I admit I'm bragging a bit.. I dont mean too.. Just awfully excited about it is all.. It's just nice to finally have a system others envy and I'm not spending all my time envying.. Like I used to Envy Fivefeet. Though I expect the guy to come out and outdo me eventually.. He's been pretty quiet You know he's up to somethen....



:mg:

 

[cooliscool]

I've got $20 cash on me right now, should have another $40 very soon.. shipping fees will make it longer.

Think you can meet me halfway somehow? I'm kinda poor atm, but if you let me pay you in intervals I'll be very grateful. I know my word doesn't mean much but you can trust me to keep my end of the bargain.

Alright cool. When ya come up with the 60 dollars we'll work something out. I'm not too worried about money as there isnt much I need. I am not going to be replacing the coolers on these 6800GTs anyway because I think they are far more than adequate.

Anyway I just ran Aquamark3. It actually didnt do as much I expected. But still nothing shabby.

 

[hushypushy]

$72 for a 9800pro? why wasnt i privvy to this deal?

 

[dukenukem]

Don't stress those 6800gt's too much now.

You have a 6800! I wasnt originally gonna sell it to cool but he's a persistent little guy and I feel bad for him being on a 5200... He must be so sad. poor little cooliscoo. Lets baby and comfort him! With a 9800 Pro! I really dont think I am ripping him off.. So... ahem..

I have no intention of overclocking this setup. Seriously? Whats the point? I just did 3dmark05 run with it set to High Performance.

9,100 3dmarks. Not too shabby.

[cooliscool]

Heh, thanks Chris. I'll prolly have $60 by the end of next week, so I'll PM you when I do and we'll straighten it out. ;p If you want to ship me the card early I could give you some extra money.. eheheh.

Yeah, being on a 5200 really, really sucks.. especially with the rest of my system being pretty good. The ultimate bog down.

 

[hushypushy]

hey, everyone has a bottleneck. i hate being CPU limited in pretty much everything
