If you have an eVGA 7800GTX, are you going to step up?

[allies]

See topic. I have a 7800GTX that was purchased in late August, and I'm seriously considering stepping up. I think I will if core/mem clocks are higher and price is < $100.

Why? Seems silly to waste on the same series since you can only do it once per full purchase card.

 

[allies]

Becuase you can only step up within 3 months of your purchase?

lol i kno right....I would step up. Or maybe sell my gtx and go for the x1800xt once released. It all depends if the performance of the x1800xt lies in the 512mb of ram. Who knows wait for reviews on both.

 

[cjsketchy]

Probably not, since they charge retail prices for the step-up, and I imagine for the 512mb card, it will be a steep price. the difference in frames probably won't be worth it. but either way, a review would help.

 

[pontifex]

yeah, that would be dumb. the 512 card is probably like twice the price or close to it of the 256 card.

Im gonna save my money for an 8800. A 7800 can do any current game maxed out and I can just get an 8800 for next fall.

or wait...i can get one right now!

Not F.E.A.R 🙂

512 will be twice the price of the GTX? I highly doubt it considering most sources say it will be priced competitively to the X1800XT (which isn't twice the price of the GTX).

Yes FEAR, at 1280x960

Waste until next-gen games.

Already stepped-up to KO's... So, I guess not.

So you're familiar with the step-up program? I don't think I have the clear plastic that held my graphics card in place, but I still have the original box. I guess this means I'll get tacked with a 15% fee if/when I step-up?

 

[liquid51]

I'm probably going to wait too. I can suffer with 256 KO's for a bit until I step up for a couple 8800's =P

 

[allies]

Wait... does the step-up program work for as long as you want to, or only within 90 days? If it's as long as you want, I'm gonna wait for the 8800, if not, I think I might as well take advantage of it and step-up from my GTX...

 

[nitromullet]

No, first 90 days only... As far as the fee goes, I don't know... I had all my original packaging.
