Eating breakfast and scanning my RSS feeds. Ain’t I the modern man. I am not however applying moisturiser, I’m not that modern. So, before I pop off to University to learn about lovely OOP and SQL, here’s a tid bit from Bit Tech:
…it’s important to remember that the 8800 GT was a fine graphics card at launch. And although getting a little long in the tooth since its October 2007 release, is still able to slug it out with the ATI Radeon HD 4830.
Although the article was about a revamped, pornographic 9800 GT 512MB XXX Edition GPU, this one paragraph surprised me a little. My Mac Pro, the beast of the Apple lineup, uses a one and a half year old GPU. And that’s the crème de la crème. I knew the card was aging, but I’d somehow just let it slide…
And while Bit Tech are right, it’s still a decent card, it’s by no means a halfway decent for gamers. We need more power. More pixel pushing. More effects! We need more! More! Mo!
We also need cheep cheep cheep.
or at least value for money
