On your mark. Get set. GO, to your nearest GPU card merchant! The time is NOW! Good luck!

dfonda · 09-27-06, 03:59 PM

Oh Man, couldn't they have hooked up with Nvidia?........Oh well can't beat mmm join mmm.

cp · 09-27-06, 04:04 PM

Whole ATI (AMD?) only thing still sounds fishy to me.

sno.lcn · 09-27-06, 04:21 PM

I guess it's time to break down and start buying ati cards from now on

I still <3 nvidia though

vaiopup · 09-27-06, 04:29 PM

Still on AGP so I'm out

, on the gpu side at least.

nikhsub1 · 09-27-06, 04:58 PM

My X1950XTX is ready!

pscout · 09-27-06, 05:05 PM

I doubt if my son's new x1900 AIW for his b'day present new conroe rig will be back from RMA by then

:

... but maybe my new 1900XTX will be here by then

I wonder if ati will come out with a folder's edition?

ihrsetrdr · 09-27-06, 05:16 PM

Just what I've been waiting to hear!

Off the Wish List and into the Shopping Cart...click click BUY!

Seven · 09-27-06, 05:21 PM

I need a new one click! My Radeon 9800 Pro stands ready.

veryhumid · 09-27-06, 05:22 PM

I'm very impressed this became a reality! Awesome!

Seven · 09-27-06, 05:28 PM

Muahaha, quad SLI dual Xeon setup here I come (when nVidia support comes).

hitbyaprkedcar7 · 09-27-06, 05:29 PM

So, whats all of your power bill's gonna be like having that power beast running 100% 24/7, along with your CPU at 100%, LOL

I wanna hear some before/after bills

ChasR · 09-27-06, 06:19 PM

Don't forget to put a good fan everyplace the case allows. If it doesn't have one blowing in on the GPU, mod one in.

Seven, you're out of luck on the 9800. It isn't going to be supported.

An X1900XT card uses about 120 watts at full load in 3D mode, so it's a little more than an AMD CPU and a little less than an Intel CPU.

LOL, I have 12 (Twelve) 120mm fans in my case and yes it IS quiet - all 23dBa and my GPU is H2O cooled. I think I'll be OK

ihrsetrdr · 09-27-06, 07:00 PM

alright nik! Now that's a folding rig!

Seven · 09-27-06, 07:15 PM

ChasR: Damn. Time to buy a new rig, muahaha.

I really do like Nikh's rig, although I do have an idea of my own for a gigantic Lian-Li or Silverstone tower case.

I just need to get my funds together and build a monster.

Silver · 09-27-06, 07:28 PM

Talking about a fair investment in vid cards. Think I will hang out, watch, listen and learn. Then decide what I shall do.

LandShark · 09-27-06, 11:43 PM

alright, I was still debating whether to get a 7950GT or the X1900XT for my new w/c HTPC rig. guess the decision had been made!

sno.lcn · 09-29-06, 10:30 PM

So what's the absolute dirt-cheapest card I can get for gpu folding? Many months ago I was hoping to fold on my 7600gt but since that's not going to happen, this is a great excuse for an upgrade. But if I can find some cards for cheap enough, I'll just farm the hell out of 'em
