I love my new 7800GTX

[jim1976]

There's no fvckin way I'm gonna pay a significant amount of money for a high end gpu w/o waiting to see how ATI's R520 performs or a possible 32pipe solution as an answer from Nvidia.
There's no game out there that I can't play quite well with my GT so definately I'll wait and see .... 😛

eVGA Step-Up program for me, just as soon as the next best comes along.

Geforce 2 MX400

256MB PC133 SD RAM
40GB WD Hard Drive

to this rig beast! (sig)

Can you play some BF2 and tell me how it is?

wow. talk about an upgrade. :Q

Personally, I dont' think the performance of the 7800gtx justifies its price (for that matter, I dont' think any amount of performance would justify that price). Especially for me; I've got an x800xl, so I'm set for a year, at least. But if thats what floats your boat, I can't stop you, nor will I try. 🙂

i wish ppl would come from their fantasy worlds into the real world. what price do you expect the GTX to be at, 300?? compare $600 to a 1000 - 1100 6800U SLI setup and this card is single slot, performs very similarily(beats it also sometimes) and takes much lesser power than 2 Ultras. what more can you expect?

How power hungry are these things? Im thinking of running two off of a 2 year old vantec stealth 520w in my Asus. Should I just order a better power supply now so I wont be stuck with just one in my system

Me too - If a 32 pipe ultra version comes out, I'll upgrade.

If that's the best $650 you've ever spent you need to get a life...fast...

No, not a hooker, but I think that it's bad if $650 on a piece of hardware that will be slow a year from now that is only used for gaming is the best thing you've ever bought...heck, that's half what I payed for my computer...

Let me guess, you play at 1280x1024 without Vertical sync on, because the frame rates make you randy, despite the horrendous tearing that any card does 🙂
