Well, its supposed to be here tomorrow, my question is what should I do first? Play a game? Doom 3? UT2k4? Or should I run 3dmark 2001? or 2003? Or maybe I should run the nvidia demos.
Please people, help me decide!

First I'd fit the phooooker ! :p - then go order yourself the worlds strongest psu to keep it running when Doom 3 beats the living daylights out of it on the top setting ..
A wotpp if I ever saw one ..
word processing...solitaire perhaps :devil:
Ship it directly to me.
Droooooool.
Take it out of the box.
FedEx it to me. That's the first thing you should do with it!
OC it as far as it'll go!

Doom 3. Definitely Doom 3. :D
So that it feels like you got something that actually goes significantly faster than an ATI x800 & you don't feel so bad about sticking with Nvidia even though they charge about 50% more ?Quote:

BTW I just discovered that to play Doom 3 in 'ultra quality' you need a vga card with 512 meg of memory - crikey ! I can't even name one with that much memory...
Didnt a Matrox have 512mb? Theyre useless for gaming though.
Download and run the Nalu 6800 demo from nVidia.
Clear Sailing is cool as well.
In doom 3 it DOES go significantly faster, hence its a good chance that anything made with the doom 3 engine (probably going to be alot) will run better too.Quote:

So finally today I found some actually available in the UK (having been looking/asking for about a week on & off for someone), been as rare as rocking horse pooh here, at pretty much the same price, infact the 6800 ultra is a bit cheaper than the top x800.
& yup once you get above 1024x768 in Doom 3, there is a definate edge for Nvidia over ati with the new ranges.
So anyway Rad you must have done something with it by now, or has it not turned up yet ?
