[ShellGuy]

Tryin to figure out what to get to finish off my system. I have picked out all my other pieces here is that thread. Now im tryin to figure out if the 50 bucks is worth it to get the 7800gt. I mostly do photoshop some what and play BF2 and Blackhawk down demo.. Also the wife uses it for pogo.. LOL...


Thanks for the help

Get the 7800GT.

If you only have to pay $50 more to get a 7800 GT, go for it. It is more powerful than the 6800 GT by ~25% or more on average.

Just get the 7800GT. It's worth it. If you don't care about the extra framerate, you'll love your games with 16x Transparency Supersampling AA

8x Supersampling. There is no 16x Transparency Supersampling AA unless you're doing SLI.

Get the 7800GT as you'll appreciate the extra performance.

8x Supersampling. There is no 16x Transparency Supersampling AA unless you're doing SLI.

There are non-SLI 8x and 16x modes available to single cards, both of which use super-sampling.

how do you get those settings? What driver? I'm using 81.98 and I only have 1 7800GT from BFG and the AA settings are none, 2x, 2xq, 4x, and 8xs. There is no 16x antialiasing on a single card! where do you get this stuff? I think the 16x AA on a non-SLI card is a load of BS.

BF2 will love a 7800

Yea wait one week. Wait till after the 7900 launches on March 9th. You could save money and maybe even get a better performing card for less.

You can wait for the 7900 or if you want it now get the 7800 its way better and its from evga so you will have a nice warranty with that.

Like I said, it does NOT have non-SLI 8xAA or 16xAA. It has 8xS, though. It does have 8xAF and 16xAF.
