sooooo tempted to jump on the 7800 GTX

[Corporate Thug]

got an offer for a BFG 7800 GTX brand spankin new for $400. the problem is that know i'm in law school, i dont have all that much time to game. what do i do?!??!??!?!

btw, would a 2.5 ghz a64 bottleneck the GTX? how bout 2.7 (that my max stable OC)?

 

[Pabster]

2.2 seems to be the sweet spot. Above that you are fine.

And I'd take it.

 

[Fenuxx]

Go for it.

 

[smthmlk]

do it. 2.2ghz and up w/ amd64's will be fine.

good idea

then wait until the R520 is release and the price drops on the 7800 series before getting your own

Ramen tastes good . At 12 cents per pack, you can feed yourself for the whole day with just 48 cents. Pretty good deal IMO .

Dont forget easy Mac...can get that for like 25-30cents per box!!!!! then buy the select colas out of the vending machines at the grocery stores for 25 cents as well....I see a nice food budget to work with your hardware addiction....

 

[ddogg]

well it depends...buy it only if you plan to game on it lol...if you barely have time to game then its a total waste of money.

 

[jb20thae]

^ agree

What are you looking to get from this upgrade? Do you really need the added performance or have you just been reading the forums for too long?

 

[MiranoPoncho]

$400...Where???

 

[Crescent13]

Why don't you just buy 4 of them and do a quad SLI setup

 

[CraigRT]

I recently got a good deal on a 7800GT and I went for it.

You could always do the same, and save some instead of going with a GTX...... the GT is still an awesome card, and when overclocked, benches around the same as a GTX.

Good deal though, go for it if you can.

Save your money. Get through law school. School takes priority over video games. You want to pass that BAR exam don't you? LOL.
