Why my girlfriend rules..

Boo-yah

On it's way to my house. I <3 her. She knew how much linux trouble I was having with ATI so she fronted me the money for that.

Wow, you must have some girlfriend. That's a pretty hefty pricetag.

[ScottJC]

Meh, its cheaper than my X800Pro was therefore I win!

[aprentice]

wow, the girl must be madly in love with you if she bought that with no special occassion in mind. Even i wouldnt buy a card like that for myself

[Hexidecimal]

Yes, she does, it was 2 years on monday, so, I will be paying her back in installments of course, but I cannot wait for it to get here.

should've at least got the 256 meg model or went for a GT.. big performance difference for the $100 price diff.

Why can't your girlfriend love me?

I beleive she is one of the best.

I'm going to buy the aftermarket cooler instead, and then unlock all 16 pipes and all 6 vertex shaders, then you can OC to almost the same speeds, and all for a mere 30 dollars.

Regardless, I got the card last friday and have been playing a bit of everything, there is nothing as satisfying as Doom 3 high detial, 1024x786, 4xAA 4xAF 60 FPS, or high detail HL2 with 8xAA 8xAF at the same resolution.

But the most satisfying thing so far, was reinstalling KotOR today, (finishing it up before KotOR2 "arrives") and maxing out every single setting on it, including 8xAA and 16xAF, and playing at a smooth 60 FPS, its a beautiful thing. I love this card.

Hot. She's a keeper. I'm not into all those "new" cards. But yeah... she's definately a keeper.

My radeon x800pro is also a beautiful card... Antialias has absolutely zero performance hit on practically everything... and I can max all my settings, expensive cards rock, eh.
