Geforce 8800GTX Benchmark

Two power connection and two SLI connections... Wow.

I'm sure the cards amazing and all, but I'm just not too keen on ones that require so much power. That's the main reason I got the 7600GT over the x850. But also, I'm not the kind of gammer who'd spend $300+ on a video card :P
 
Oh my... I dont think ill get too many new shoes for a few months to come... =) 1 of those is better than my current cards it seems.. and uses less power.. =D
 
Well, that may actually be a card I could get at the end of the year. If they are being released now, the prices will fall a little near late December :) Plus, that's the GTX, so there's gonna be GT and GS versions, right?

Click to expand...

they havent exactly been released yet, but me thinks ill be picking one up with my new computer when i get it... of course it cant be AMD because i just love nVidia chipsets...
 
hmm. I expected as much. But just imagine: you will need a quad sli power supply to run those in SLi, because of the four connectors. (I know you could use the silly 4 pin molex to PCI-E).

At an inch and a half longer than the X1950XTX, I wonder if you will start having to use full tower cases :P. The X1900 AIW is 10 inches long, and I wonder if the 8800GTX is 11.5 inches, or if the X1950XTX is shorter than the X1900AIW. Cause I know that if it was 11.5 inches, it wouldn't fit in my case without some serious modding. I only have about 10.75 inches available before it would run into my floppy bays, which are the shortest depth wise in my case :O
 
AFAIK, nVidia will only SLI certify a PSU for G80s if it has 4 PCI-E connectors (not adaptors). Looks like the power recommendation for a single card will be +12V@~30A.

In any case, if you think these are power hungry, ATIs R600s are rumoured to be worse.
