remember the REAL revolution?
This shit ran GTAV, thats how good it was
>>108801404>8800best card I ever boughtnever ever made a good graphics card purchase after this one. missed the 1080timissed the 3090, priced out of the 4090and now I’ll never own a good card. at least the 3060 12g is still holding on.
>>108801404>faster than 2x7900gtx in sliWe'll probably never get an uplift like that ever again.
>>108801404It was so good everyone overlooked bumpgate
>>108801573If you can get a 5080 for 1k eurodollars it's an okay deal. Wouldn't recommend unless you run 4k or VR because the better memory compared to the 4xxx series really shine at those high resolutions.
>>108801573You had 8800 back when technology was in its historical moments dual cores quad cores and thisYou did good
>>108801404>crysis on stable 30fpsGood times
>>108801404Did Nvidia really put a cyborg frog on their GPU box
>>108801881yeah, to showcase dat rendering power
>>108801881yeah its called SOVL you wouldn't understand
>>108801782unfortunately I picked the e8400 dual core instead of the similarity priced q6600 quad core. the quad was the better purchase in the long term.
I got the 8800GTS 320MB instead, but I came from an FX5200 64MB.Felt good to actually play games.
>>108801881No, nVidia didn’t make AIBs back then
>>108801881ugly goblins too
I wanted one so bad. I got a 9800 GT, not as good but it was a huge upgrade for me. Thing came with this pretty cool Battlefield clone. Box didn't have any sovl, just a PNY XLR8.
>>108802732I skipped e8400 and bought the q6600 only to downgrade to e8600 and overclock it to 4.6GHz then I upgraded to qx9650 and had it until 2700k. Then shit became boring until Ryzen.
>>108801881No but Palit did
>>108801404Real revolution was the 9700 Pro (single handedly made pixel/vertex shaders widespread) and the 3dfx voodoo.8800gtx was the first step in decline, by introducing CUDA and gpu compute.
>>108801404>>108801881>WHAT DOES THE CYBORG FROG HAVE TO DO WITH IT?
>>108801881Nvidia was frogposting before most here were born, anon
>>108801881(You) just had to be there.
>PS3 released simultaneously with this>It packed a 7900 insteadWorst mistake.
>>108803740>tfw someone here was born the year 8800 releasedjust
8800GT is the best bang for your bucks card I ever had.
>>108801404FX5900 Ultra. Last one with paletted textures support.
>>108805499Yeah it was a magical time
>>108801831Crysis was mostly cpu bound due to early adoption of multithreading at the time was dismal. Crysis 2 fixed this problem and is significantly easier to run as a result
life changed when I got one of these
I still have the receipt.
