    That i can agree with. I never expected him to actually listen to me and buy $1800 of video cards. But that was not my point..they aren't the same card.

    I understand, but they really are so similar that... You know what? Lets just drop it.

    EDIT: Wow we were engaged in mortal combat right there.

    Yeah, good idea.

    I know what you are saying. It would be foolish to spend an extra $400 for minimal performance.

    Hehe. My friend told me to overclock his PNY GeForce FX 5200, to a performance equal of a GeForce 8800 GTX.

    I suppose given the perfect environment, in a perfect world, the FX5200 overclocked will perform better than the 8800gtx.

    What this means is that everything is flawless, down to evey small little connection in the chip, and it produces absolutely no heat whatsoever, and therefore having absolutely nothing to bar its performance.

    Voila, the FX5200 that will outperform every card today, or the future.

    Too bad you can't get all the other features that you do with the other cards....

    The funny thing was I tried to overclock it. But I couldn't reach a single MHz higher than stock settings. I'm guessing nVIDIA has some kind of lock on it.

    lols, nope I use cvs brand tissue. My 3dmark score with my old cards was a little over 17k, now with these g80's its 22k. I need to buy 3dmark, the one im using is the free one with set options. Also want to post some screenies of the confirmed score since I know CMH will be on my azx

    Well, I really don't care unless you're going to say they are 200x better than the HD2900XTs, and you have 3DMark scores that vary too much from norm...
