A Fun Day for Hardware Enthusiasts: The 8800GT and Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650

Monday, October 29, 2007

Today was an exciting day for hardware enthusiasts, as the first reviews of the recently released nVidia 8800GT made their way to the crowd of eager PC gamers looking for the next best bang-for-the-buck video card. After looking through a few reviews, it can easily be said that the 8800GT presents the best value for performance that has been seen in nVidia's GeForce 8 series. To see for yourself, check out these reviews on the following respected tech websites:
As one can see by merely glancing through these articles, the 8800GT outperforms the 8800GTS in most all current and upcoming games! Yes, that means Crysis and UT3! Crazy stuff, really. And the best part is that the graphics card should come in at around $200-$250 when prices settle, making it the card to beat at the moment. Check out more on prices @ newegg.com.

In other news, the first reviews of the brand new Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650 hit the interwebs today. This is the first processor on Intel's new 45nm line, sporting increased efficiency and an overall 40% clock for clock performance improvement! Not to mention, an unprecedented overclocking ability... 4Ghz + on stock cooling anyone? Check out the specs on this beast over at Techage or Bit-Tech.
