  • @martyr022 they use a xbox controller when playing on the pc. 

  • Godamn 8800 GTS, i had that card but it fucking died, and i only had it 2 weeks -_-, anyway gotta get this card :D

  • @VaygrX bad idea. all 8xxx series cards have dying issues. just buy a dx11 card.

  • Zalmen.

  • Why is his head changing its size in 2:21

  • That girl is hot ! 2:16 :)))

  • @KEEVVY That's his wife.

  • 2:17 HEAD SHOOT

  • My Palit GTX460 runs at about 30 degrees C

  • 2:17 THE HOTTNES OF ALL HOTNESES :))

  • wow, i didnt know pc could go up to 1200p and pass 1080p

  • @xShadow125 um.. 2560 x 1440 = 1440p

    but though monitors cost about 600-900 pounds

  • Need about a 400w power supply to run this baby its dated but its a very cool card and overclocks like a 7800 gt :D u can get 1 today for about 80-120 $ good budget card.but today i would recommend getting an ati 4850(79-120$) or a 5770 (150$) both require a 500w psu u can get a case for 50 $ that come with 500w psus today

  • @thedarkcow64 I got my 8800GT for 50$ and it runs great.

  • @thedarkcow64 unless ur using Intel's high end CORE line, you dont need anything above a 400W psu to run a 5770. I recently built a comp with the Phenom II X6 1055T paired up with an XFX 5850, ran fine on 450W.

  • Getting this card :) Glad to know it runs so cool

  • 75-80 wow my on desktop is 55'c on a lil overlcok gts250

  • im gonna buy a 500W PSU, will it be enough for me to run this card? it fits in my pc motherboard alrady. should i buy something else? i have E5300 2.60ghz 2gb memory ram and 9600gt right now

  • epic fail @1:41 Martyr022 was right damn tigerdirect u fail

  • @Martyr022 that is not xbox 360 game play buddy that is pc gameplay it looks like 360 game play because of the blue (X) button thingy but that is because u get a 360 controller for ur pc, i have one :P

  • @Ihakk7777777

    Could be plausible, but why would you use a shitty console controller on PC?

  • should i upgrade from nvidia geforce 240 gt 1gb ddr3 to this card? is it worth it`?

  • @Adredinna Absolutely not :)

  • @MYMAnarchy thanks for your advice, but dude i failed epicly... my pci dont have a 6 pin power connector so i didnt knew that. i sold my 240gt and bought 8800gt now i cant run the 8800gt and i dont know what to do with it :(

  • @Adredinna lol use the 2 x white Molex 4-pin to convert to 6-pin PCI-e man. I guess it is included with the video card (@ 3:15). Absolutely ridiculous upgrade. Because if I'm not wrong, GT 240 is pretty good and its comparable to the 9600GT and 9800GT. Well try my advice and pm me soon, good luck and have fun with your gaming man. :D

  • Comment removed

  • @Adredinna Also GT 240 supports DirectX 10.1 which is gonna push the performance a little bit more in some games support 'em.

  • 9800gtx+ > 9800gtx > 9800=8800

  • the 8800GT has better FPS than the 9600GT, but yeah the 9800GT is better than both, but my case is too small for a 9800GT

  • Lol get 4890HD

  • you lol! 9800= casual

  • lol gte hd 5870

  • hey guys which is better? 9800 gt or 8800 gt?

  • 9800gt is better ....

  • k thx i am gonna buy it. tyty.

  • 9800

  • @MrGratz123xD same flippin card..

  • the only real difference between the two are the software, both have the same basic performance, if there is a difference it can't be by too much.

  • Hi all!!

    Im going to buy 8800 gt Aplha dog edition

    and i will going to play games at 1280 X 1024 resolution at high maybe!

    Plz reply if this is a good card for the job!

    Thx!!

  • @Gun10001 no.

  • Yes it was good for 2 years ago hahah

  • why do they show 360 gameplay of cod4 instead of pc gameplay. pause at 1:42

  • there showing what the game is not the actual futage(cant spell)

  • @Martyr022 hahahahha busted.. nice u saw that. i'd never seen it :P

  • @Martyr022 I'm sure they're just trying to show the game a bit so you don't have to stare at his face and wonder about the game he's talking about. You've got a good point though.

  • @Martyr022 they could have had connected a xbox controller to a pc

  • @Martyr022 Maybe it's games for windows? Using a 360 wired pad?

  • @Martyr022 you can hook up a 360 controller to a pc

  • @Martyr022 ever thought he could be using a controller hooked up to a PC?

  • @Martyr022 Actually, on the account that they are showing it with the fps and res., I think it's just the port.

  • @Martyr022

    Same with the Bioshock clip too 

  • @Martyr022 there using a 360 controller dumb ass

  • @assassinjackson except there is no controller support in Call of Duty 4 PC...

  • @Martyr022 they could be using a controller.

  • @GT5Enthusiast doesnt matter, i've played cod4 pc for a long time and the interface is actually a bit different. Plus someone was using the mic and no one on the pc uses the mic lol.

  • this benchmark isnt correct

    i have this card and i run cod 4 with the same settings they used and im getting 60-70fps

    also in crysis on high i get 30fps+- and not 18.

  • This video was made in 2008, you probably have a better CPU/RAM.

  • nah my ram is only 2gb 800mhz and my cpu is Q6600 wich is 2 years old or even more

  • maybe u have a better system its not just the 8800gt that makes the performance

  • no vga port why? :/

  • vga is an old connector.. but normally the card comes with an HDMI to vga adapter

  • i have

  • R.I.P Logan

  • dont u mean RIP Randy?

  • i have XFX 9800 GT. Can i SLI it with this card?

  • Comment removed

  • sorry but ya, you can Freaktube4- dont answer a question that you don't know the answer to you moron. Its people like you that cause others head aches with mis information. If you don't know your shit, then dont answer the questions shitbrick.

  • don t listen to freaktube4 hes a complete moron and has no idea what hes talking about. Of course you can SLI a 9800GT and an 8800GT in sli together. They are the same exact cards except the 9800GT has a die shrink from 65nm to 55nm. Thats all. They have the same gpu feature set, same speeds and memory.

  • oh thank you =) this is great news.

    freaktube damn liar.

  • no, he's just a retard, like most everyone else on youtube. illmagnified seems to know what he's talking about though. props to him.

    and logan, for being badass.

    zalman

  • Zalman Rocks! I have my Intel Core 2 Quad overclocked to 3.6ghz from 2.4GHZ stock clock! Thats A 1.2GHZ overclock! Of course thats thanks to my Zalman 9700 Heatsink which keeps my cpu at 28C idle and 39C Load! It OWNS! Im sure you already knew Zalman rocks since you put it in your comment there for you rock my friend!

  • actually I dont believe you can because sli has to be the exact card only different manufacturer and clock speeds and be different its crossfire that cant take different gpu's i may be wrong but im pretty sure caust my gtx 285's dont sli with my friends gtx280 but my 2 gig 285's will with my other friends 1 gig 285 weve tried.

  • Yes you can Xorplon. I am a manager at a computer shop- I work on computers and laptops all day. Trust me i know my technology. Not to mention, i have that setup in my system. I have an EVGA 8800GT SuperClocked Overclocked to 700mhz core/ 1800mhz shaders/ 2.2Ghz memory (which makes it faster than a single 8800GTX at stock clocks) and i paired my 8800GT to an EVGA 9800GT SuperClocked and OC'D it to the same frequencies. It works beautifully. The 9800GT/8800GT are the same cards with a die shrink.

  • huh didnt know that sweet

  • yes, of course

  • They use the 360 version becouse they want the vierws to see some gameplay

  • atx

  • I bought this card for my little brother, but what he didn't tell me is that he bought it for a Dell Inspiron 530 with a 350 watt power supply, it says you need a 450 watt power supply to run this card though

    if he put this in his computer would it run alright?

    and if i want to buy a new power supply for it what would fit in the case?

  • Yo,im 15 and from melburn,i got a wish from the wish foundation for a chronic illness of mine and i requested a gaming pc,i have a vague idea of how good things are IN a pc,but not good enuf,can someone tell me if this is good?

  • @cozbox3 get exact same size monitors for good gampeplay.......unless you're using only one for games!!!!!!!1

  • @cozbox3 go for 2 9800gts.

  • @cozbox3 it`s epic

  • @cozbox3 Insane PC but.... go for a 9800GTs

  • @AcceptedChallenge dude, i think he doesnt read the comments anymore because he bought that pc a year ago

  • @marfg12345 good point

  • @cozbox3 melburn? im sure its melbourne

  • @cozbox3 Yah, its a sexy machine.

  • @cozbox3 Boost your GFX card to about a GTS 450 and that will be bomb

  • LOL CoD4 was on the 360 in this video.. FAIL

  • yh but it was only shown for illustrative purposes so who cares

  • anyone who is good with computers. does an Intel Q965GFEKR have sli capabilities and whats the highest amount of cpu it could have

  • rofl 2:20 ????

    this guy gets side tracked on the stupidest shit ^^

    i love him xD

  • wait wait wait wait...the cod4 thing...that was the xbox 360 version.......

  • Nope it wasnt.

  • yes it was, cause for some reason all the cod4 benchmarks they show are on the xbox 360

  • how do i kno if i have a 6 pin pci express connector?

  • open your case and look at the powersuply unit (it should be a large cube) check the wires coming from it and if you see a very small black cube with 6 little conections then that should be the one

  • thnx man...i appreciate it

  • can somone recomend me a good grapics card thats under 200 bucks and can play maybe as good as xbox 360 games or a little less or more?

  • wtf man at cod4 footage you see the x button of the ps3 or the xbox360. but i think its the xbxo360...???wtf? or is he playing with the controller on the pc but i doubt it

  • Look at the bioshock footage! it looks like its says X and Y for controls, iz tigerdirect using xbawks

  • Evga is better or BFG

  • xfx 9600 its better in all settings, buy the xfx 9600 its better.

  • no its not 8800gt is faster the 9600 is just a renamed 8600 they make a 9800gt to witch is just a renamed 8800gt

  • what is difference between palit 8800 xfx8800gt xfx 8800 gts and a 8800 ultra

  • nice man!!

  • will a 300 watt power supply be enough to run this card?

  • yes

  • no lol no no non nooooonoooooooo

  • nooo i recomend 500w

  • If the PSU is froma good manufacturer like Be Quiet, Corsair, SeaSonic etc then it may run this card.

  • no!

  • no it is not

  • its all good everyone i got my new power supply like last month so now i'm running the card and i'm running left 4 Dead 2 like a charm..... AMAZING....cant believe people were still commenting this...lol whatever

  • Is there a regular PCI version of this card? I know theres one for the 9500 gt but I heard this card is better.

  • its not exactly a 9800gtx RENAME its got smaller die so it runs cooler and it takes less power to run.

  • i need help for a project i have to make an old computer into a gaming computer but i dont know much about it its an hp pavilion 7955 im going to put this card in it but i need to buy a psu that can handle it any recomendations? plz pm me, thanks in advance

  • I would get a corsair 600w power supply, that will be more than enough for this card. The corsair is also modular that helps. I am running a 8800GT on about 580w no problem.

  • no point of upgradeing 20 wats the recomend psu for this card is 450 watts. it also depends on the company who makes there psu and how they rate them like have a dell xps 420 with same card and with a dell 375 watt psu and it runs fine but dell rates there psu's differntly so its really like a 500 watt.

  • You could probably run it a power supply less than 600 watts. I would recommend between 450-500.

  • mi 8800gt xfx runs at 62c in full load but i am geting a new rig haha

  • ok he said zalmen 14 times in this video.

  • haha get puncked... ZALMEN XP

  • Where the Hell is 8800gts ?

  • yes it would, pci 2.0 works with 1.0 but has more bandwidth

  • um a question to all of you. Does this work on a mobo Gigabyte K8n DDR x16 Pci 1.0 please?

  • get a hd4850. its faster than the 9800GTX and its the same price as a 9800gt

  • nope at my local store price difference is big between a 9800gt and 4850.

    I have researched, 9800gt will do all the work for me.

  • on overclockers Uk site its 125 pound for a 9800gt and 130pound for a HD450. 5 pound ? thats nothing.

  • get the 9800gtx+ 5-7% faster

  • I have the XFX black edition 9800GTX+ on a pentium D 820 with 2gigs of DDr2 667mhz AND a 4850 1GIG from ASUS and the 4859 is slower.

  • being slow for you dosent mean thats a final desison. i looked at about 10 beches from all differfent sites.

  • LOL, the COD4 clip was on the 360, what a tool

  • It wouldve just been an example clip you fool.

    They wouldnt have recorded the benchmark as it would give them a lower fps.

  • stock cooler overclocks to 750mhz 1975 shader 1100 memory :0

  • hy is the Ati Radeon HD 3870 better then the Geforce 8800 GT ?

  • 3870 is slower.

  • hy is ATI Radeon HD3650 better then the Geforce 8800 GT , is a 500 W power is good ?

  • no way and yes get a 750w

  • I got this one, its an incredibly cool card. so good ^-^ I run Crysis at 1440 x 900 on very high. gives me like 40/50 fps.. kinda sick :)

  • lol when comes his wife and kick him !

  • i have no idea what your saying lol

  • well what is the cost of this card....

    and my pc configuration is intel pentium D 2.67 GHZ 1 GB ddr2 ram bla bla bla.....so i want to know 1 thing is will this card make games as well as my pc faster, i mean much faster.....

  • Just wondering. I have a Dell XPS 420 with a 375 Watt Power supply. Will this run the 8800 gt with few problems, bearing in mind the quality of Dell's PSUs? Thanks!

  • no min of 450watts At least!

  • can i run css and far cry 2 on one system with this graphics card?

  • of course with high settings

    if u hav nyc ram and processor

    this card rocks !!!

  • why you wanna do that and yes you probbaly can more depending on your ram and CPU

  • css is very easy to run. farcry will do fine at high settings with this card as long as you have decent cpu and ram

  • hell yes

  • Is the 8800 better than the 9800 GT?

  • the only difference it's that 9800 gt it's 55 nm so the 9800 gt is a little bit better.

  • dude the 9800 GT is slower than the 8800 GT if u want a faster card then the 8800 GT is better for u :) but if u want a cheaper slower card then get a 9800 GT

  • whtch is better the 8800 or 9600? i want to buy one but dont kniw witch one
