Video upgrade came sooner than I thought.

Having just got Oblivion I and been playing it for a few hours I made the decision that running at 1680 x 1050 with only one 7800gtx was not enough, so I had to order another!

Before anyone says that I should have got an X1900 or a 7900 series card remember I already had a 7800gtx in my system and my budget didn't quite extend to shelling out more money for less performance - compared to SLI 7800gtx.

Why do you think anyone cares?

Because this is a video forum. If this isn't the place for someone to come and gloat about their new purchase then what is?

Are you happy with the upgrade? That is the important question.

Congrats! I hope you enjoy your card. Let us know how it works out for you.

It should arrive tomorrow so I will install it then and get some pics up.

I will have 2 Leadtek 7800gtx extreme in the end so will look quite nice.

Very cool. I was about to suggest the ebay the 7800GTX x 2 (going price is about $350) and get the 7900GT for $330 instead, but 1. the $ savings won't even pay for lunch and 2. you can't get a 7900GT at the moment, never mind two of them and 3. lack of instant gratification.

Congrats on playing Oblivion the way the devs wanted you to experience it.

I was truly amazed when I loaded it up the first time and my computer really struggled, first time in a long time.
