GREAT looking card, too bad it's another massive waste of money on marketing and e-pein.

And poor spelling + knocking another member's stuff (much less a mod) = a great way to make a point :rolleyes:

nice card, but overkill for my 1680x1050 res

Selene · Mar 15, 2009

if its any thing like the 2gig GTX285, the memory is wasted 95% of the time, the bus simple can not take advantage of it.

i thank you for you knowing absolutely nothing about the screen in question, taking this thread off topic, and your bad spelling.

Please, go troll elsewhere. my TV is going to look a hell of a lot better than anything you've got.
edit: oh wait, it actually DOES. i have the 226BW on my lan system, and it looks like arse in comparison. its got poor viewing angles, an overly red image and has strange flickering with certain images.

well that screan rez is not as good as a 22" 1680x1050 or a 24" 1920x1200, so you could get away with a lesser video card, even tho the screan is big, the rez is not and does not need as much vram.

Me.

22"= 1680x1050 = shitty for HD movies. It's either an upscaled 720p image, or a downscaled 1080p image.

24" = 1920x1200 = perfect for HD movies. Plays 1080p at its native resolution.

Better looking games are just an added benefit.

That's because your 22" monitor has a Tn-Film panel in it. (all 22" are Tn-Film) Buy a 20" or 24" with either a PVA panel, or an IPS panel of some sort, and your games will look like ass on the TV in comparison. (Provided the same quality settings can be used)

correct on the TN panel, the guy bagging my screen out has the same 22". that was my point.

admittedly its off topic now, so can we please get back to discussing this uber card?

Ahh, fair enough. Yeah, I would rather games on your HDTV vs your 22" monitor as well.

Well then, back on topic. lol. I hope more manufacturers release double frame buffer cards. I like not having to worry about running out of video memory. lol.

Samsung . . . @ the top of the game.

Instruction to tell member to go troll elsewhere: good.

Trolling the member back: bad.

ewww that cpu would be a huge bottle neck and chances of OCing it are slim to none with that mobo.

I like this card because the cooler is dual slot not triple by the looks of it, and that it has more ram.

For a single card provided the price is right might be my next upgrade.

Yes the cooler is a customized dual-slot cooler, and it looks nice definitly.

That's why I like Galaxy: non reference design, but how about loudness?

I don't have exact noise figure yet, but AFAIK it is a quiet one.

We'll have a normal 896MB version using this cooler too.

-------------------------
We will definitly send one to techPowerUp for review once we have the card ready, so please stay tuned
