8800GTS ushers the next era of Pc-Gaming in Pakistan
(Updated)
The future of gaming in Pakistan is here. 8800GTS is on sale here ,this card is the first DX-10 card(also supports Shader Model 4.0) to hit Karachi streets.This beast is one hell of graphics card having 640mb on-board memory with a 320 bit ring-bus ,the performance of this card is great its on-par with X1950XTX the king of previous generation graphics cards on DirectX-9 games ,at most times exceeding it ,but i hope it will shine best on the Vista with the new DX-10 games which include highly anticipated Unreal-tournament ,Age of conan ,Microsoft Flight simulator 10 etc.The coming of the 8800gts marks the beginning of a new uber-power hungry ,new generation cards in Pakistan ,the arrival of these shows the demand og high-quality gaming here ,i hope that big brother of GTS ,”8800GTX” would come soon too, but its gonna be super expensive, i suspect that the price could go beyond 45K+ range since it has the double the power of PS3’s “RSX” GPU,the most exciting thing about these cards are that they have “unified shaders” and “stream processors” and the overclocking on these babies would be way more flexible than the old cards.
This card can be yours only for 37,500(34,500!) rupees !So you wealthy computer geeks and nerds , rejoice!
Well I’m too thinking about snagging these next year for my supposed ,at-least i would be able to buy 8600GTX/GTS/GT or something other.
