    7900GT - Is the Extreme version worth an extra 30$?

    There isn't such thing here, you only work through the vendor itself. and that's bad, very bad. If you want my personal experience, the MSI NX6800 GT in my list is a 12 Pipelines that was sold as 16 Pipelines! (making it perform more like a 6800 non-gt) Now, MSI at the states confessed...

    7900GT - Is the Extreme version worth an extra 30$?

    Could be, but evga are still 70$ more expensive here... you must agree that paying 70$ extra for a evga instead of a leadtek is pretty ridicolus.

    7900GT - Is the Extreme version worth an extra 30$?

    I get a warranty from the vendor, that's why I wont mess with it too much. and yeah, I've heard about ppl that got a faulty 7900, mostly evga's. I'm going with leadtek, hopefully I wont have too much trouble with that.:confused:

    7900GT - Is the Extreme version worth an extra 30$?

    7900GT - Is the Extreme version worth an extra 30$?

    Hey I am thinking of getting a 7900GT now that the prices here (EU) dropped. My only option right now is Leadtek (since all other brands are about 20-40$ more expensive). Anyway, I am trying to decide between: Leadtek WinFast PX7900GT TDH - running at 450/1320mhz Leadtek WinFast...

    With what should I replace my 19" CRT?

    I know they fixed a few issues such as backlight bleeding when going from the 930B to the 930BF. so that's why I'm not getting a 930B. bad thing is that we currently have the 730BF here, but we have no idea when is the 930BF is gonna ship. :(
