BFG 7800GT vs. BFG 7800GTX, Which one should I get?

[FlyBono24]

Just like the thread title states... I can get a 7800GT for $383 or a 7800GTX for $507. I REALLY set my sights on the GTX model, but the price is pretty steep.

I'm starting to sway to the price of the GT, someone please talk me into buying the GTX instead!!

Where is the bfg gt for 383 at?

Go with an eVGA 7800GT instead.

Employee Purchase.... 😉

Why the eVGA? Is it cheaper? We don't carry it so I'll have to pay full price...

Buy the GT. The GTX eats more power and you really won't see a difference unless you run at higher resolutions. This might change for future games however...

Can't wait till ATI's new cards come out? They might be better than the 7xxx series OR they might drop the current prices...

The eVGA has a better lifetime warranty. It covers all software damage like a bad BIOS flash.

GET the 7800GT ... In 1 ot 2 years time when the next midrange cards for $120 come out and end up faster, you wont be that upset about the 7800GT because you didnt spend $500 for it ...

Videocards dont last long enough to bother getting the best.. thats what ive come to learn after buying many high end cards for high price's .... unless maybe it was a 512MB card and games required that ok .. but they are both 256Mb's and both HELL fast..

If you can wait ... When ATI's card comes out Nvidia will be bringing a 7800Ultra card to the table .. and price will come down plus a 7800 Ultra should show up.

I think the GT will do fine then... 🙂

And if it's not enough power down the line, I could always double them up. 😎

The GT was 345 at Dell earlier remember =P

You may be getting an employee discount, but you can still find the GTX a little cheaper online. ($480). I'd still go with the GT though...and maybe use that extra ~$100 for some more ram or a couple games or some lap dances, whatever...
