7800Gt which one is better...

[GTaudiophile]

I'm going to buy the XFX simply because I prefer its game bundle...

You registered at eVGA's website yet? CoD2 didn't come in box with my N516 but it has just been shipped.

Man you got my hopes up. Just registered, no cod offer or anything, guess the 517 didnt have anything on it.

Just installed the new card, oc to 500/1200 right off the bat.
Not sure what i get by taking it any higher so I stopped, I love these 2 minute overclocks.
Cod2, quake4, hl2 all running (nearly)maxed out at 1920x1080 on my 61in dlp.
Theres some RARE moments where it doesnt run so smooth, but overall running great.

Havent installed fear yet... afraid its gonna make me order another card...

I think they have replaced the COD2 offer with something else, some unspecified "big name game." I didn't get COD2 in either of my 516 cards or on the evga website when I registered.

Actually if you can run COD2, you should be able to run FEAR fine since COD2 is more demanding than FEAR.

I was just about to say that.

Thanks for all the info guys, any other reasons why i should take the Evga video card over the Xfx card, or any other card that you guys would recomend for that price range.

Thanks.

Never used XFX, but never had problems with eVGA cards.

I'd buy eVGA again any day.

 

[christopherzombie]

EVGA all the way. My last 4 cards have all been EVGA. The motherboard combo deal makes buying an EVGA 7800GT an even better purchase!

Something you may want to consider is the support and customer service. I purchased the ega 7800 gt co with a $25 rebate and a copy of cod2. If I had to buy the game it would of cost me at least $50. That considered, I paid less than $300 for the card. The forums at evga are very helpful and I have used their customer service via the telephone and everything went real well in that regard. Don't know how well customer service with the other companies are but am really glad I went with evga. Would have to find a real good reason not to buy another evga product.

Just looked at your links for prices, may want to look around for some better deals, can get them significantly cheaper....
