Hey guys,
My faithful and highly overclockeable 6800 GTO (read about it here) finally went kaput. Ironically enough it died two days before it was going to go in my new E6300 machine. I believe it died simply because the Dimension 8400 was seriously lacking in cooling.
Anyways, I have been completely out of the video card loop for quite awhile. I was inundated with 3500 different options, all of which had at least one "X" in its name. I want bang for my buck, overclockability, as quiet as possible, and a good warranty. I came across this thread and became very excited! I was also nervous about ZZF selling out of the card so I put my order through ($261 shipped 2nd day). I have until tomorrow to cancel my order if need be.
What I play:
MOH:AA
BF2
Machine specs:
E6300
Gigabyte DS3
2 GB DDR2 (can't remember the speed right now)
WD RE2
Thermaltake Tsunami (I got the last black one at ZZF and now they're discontinued!)
Did I make the right decision? Thanks in advance!
