"After the success of the 8800 GT, rumours of a new 8800 GTS based on the G92 core have been on the net for a few weeks now. Now some pictures have been leaked onto the internet, along with some extra specs. It was already known to feature 128 enabled stream processors, and the latest specs claim that the new card will also have a 650MHz core clock speed, shaders at 1625MHz, 512MB memory at 1940MHz and will be nine inches long. Its official release date is said to be December 3rd, with a price tag somewhere between $299 and $349."

Looks like an eVGA step up for me, thank God they offer it.

There will also be a 1Gb model.

11/18/2007 6:38:03 PM

already?

How do you get paid to blow all your money on nerd shit? Folks buy it for you? Pharmaceutical sales?

11/18/2007 9:01:07 PM

its not like they go out to bars or anything like that

11/18/2007 9:13:21 PM

it's easy.

get an engineering degree.

11/18/2007 11:34:44 PM

I swear you question EVERYONE who buys nice things and accuse them that their mommy and daddy pay for shit. Get a real job with a real salary and maybe one day you can be like us.

11/19/2007 2:30:34 AM

THIS IS WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS

i dont think he's questioning the folks that actually work.... more like the students that can magically afford a lot of this stuff

11/19/2007 9:03:35 AM

Neat, but where is the true successor to the 8-series? We're not gonna see Crysis run at max until then.

11/19/2007 9:43:57 AM

^^he questions EVERYBODY...there isn't a single user that has posted about some new toy or wanting to buy a new toy that he hasn't questioned and demanded answer on their finances. It's like he's TWW's IRS

11/19/2007 9:48:42 AM

Well since it's only going to cost me about 40 bucks for this card, I think I can afford it.

dear chance, tww was founded way before you went to college... some of us are addicts and have a hard time leaving even though we have real jobs with mortgages etc.

11/19/2007 11:39:27 AM

HMM yeah it is. So i have an evga 8800gtx. Does that mean i can trade it for a 8900/8950 when they come out? Or is there a time period you can use it?

Neat article: (pc>console)

If someone wants to play the "look at me and my new expensive toys" game, then yea, I'll ball.

There is nothing about my posts oozing with jealousy. This card (the 3500)

http://www.nvidia.com/page/quadrofx.html

has been residing in my box at home for many months. The last game I played was Civ 4, several months ago.

SHIT JUST REEKS OF JEALOUSY DOESN'T IT? IM SO FUCKING JEALOUS THAT SOMEONE ELSE CAN AFFORD NICE THINGS LIKE I CAN, IM JUST MAD THAT I DONT POST ABOUT IT ON TDUB AND THEY DO. GRRRRRRR


This thread was nothing more than look at my new toy. No discussion about it or anything. And it's also not the first time this guy has bragged about his addiction. As such, comments that are mildly off topic should be expected. If you took offense to my question, its probably cause you're the same douche bags spending big bucks on video games, too.

People have been posting for MONTHS...literally MONTHS on here about TVs from the practical to the really damn expensive and I haven't said one damn thing. It's been different people. However, BlackDog has made multiple multiple threads about his electronics toys his folks are buying for him.

So either make a legitimate post to defend your absurd comments, or get this weak trolling the hell off this system you uncles boy ass clown.

Nerd shit? Since when do "nerds" pay for computer games?

I mean come on. It's a 8800gt. Maybe if he was talking about 2 ultras (1300-1400$) then i think we'd all complain.

Oh and wasn't he talking about the "step-up" evga program? You don't even buy the whole card. You just give your old one back, and get the new one paying the difference.

They pay for dual Quad Cores and EXXXXXXXXTRREEEMMMMEEE overclocked ram and expensive LCDs and liquid cooling and the latest and greatest video card that will be trailing edge in 24 hrs.

It's fine, I don't have a problem with it.

But anyone that makes a "look at me" thread, shouldn't have a problem when people don't give a fuck and ask questions about it.

11/19/2007 2:09:49 PM

^but it's not the latest and greatest video card. It's the mid-range model. Plus how was he "showing off". He simply posted about a new product.

11/19/2007 2:11:50 PM

Forgive me oh great neodata if I have offended your gaming god.

11/19/2007 2:16:37 PM

^you didn't. I don't even know who blackdog is. You just amuse me so i decided to respond.

ok I'll bite, you jealous mother fucker. To name an example off the top of my head (beacuse I don't care enough to post links to every instance of your trolling envy.) Questioning where Ahmet gets his money for all the track events he does.

leave it alone guys. chance is just angry at the world that everyone else can afford nice things but he can't.

that's who i question...as for BlackDog, with all the weed he claims to buy/smoke, and all the shit he claims to buy, i seriously doubt his dumb ass makes that much money part time AND paid for car AND pays for school

you really expect people to expect that you pay for everything in your life? with all you claim to buy? you're a liar...nothing wrong with mom and dad paying for things, but i just can't bring myself to believe a dumbass like you

Yea, there is another guy with money growing on trees somewhere. He routinely acts like 500 for a track weekend isn't shit. So either he just plays a balla on the internet, or he really is a balla. Either way, if you come to the fucking wolf web, a college message board, and act like you are loaded to the gills, then you should expect these types of questions.

It has dick to do with jealousy. I'm on my second house youngin...I didn't have rich uncles to help me out. I won scholarships, I got a job, saved my money, and put it to work.

Barring any real ability to make a point about jealousy, you'll quote what I just posted and try to use that against me as well. Just give up. You aren't shit, and generally speaking, no one cares. Die.

11/19/2007 10:26:38 PM

2nd house? you MUST have rich uncles! Or mommy and daddy bought it for you. I mean this IS a college message board.

oh and stop bragging. No one cares that your parents bought you 2 houses because your fat ass couldn't fit in 1.
