Which GeForce 7800?

[FragTek]

eVGA is teh suck... Take it from me, i pwn all the n00bs that posted about how eVGA rocks that u just read about. They aren't extreme like my fine self

Just get any card. I mean most of them OC t3h nuts. My Gigabyte kicked ass at OC'ing and that was the cheapest out

speaking of the bfg 7800gt OC cards.. what clocks is anyone gettin on em? n how dya bypass the lamezorz nvidia panel way of doing it that won't let me past 487.. i've read a review of them going to 512..

Try firing up Riva Tuner

 

[Eguy]

would be nice, but I'm going for "better than what I had" & "best bang for the buck". I realize money is no object to most of the people around this site, but it is for me

Well evgay won't bring you that but it is the cheapest card I would say save up and spend $369 on the BFG

 

[FarFarAway]

I wouldn't to be honest. The warranty isn't worth it as they SAY that if you ever OC then its invalid.

I'd get XFX or just any card

 

[SuB]

riva tuner open? where are clock settings?

Just found this beauty here:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814150108

XFX 7800GT, 450/1050MHz, $325 shipped

Looks like I won't have to get an eVGA after all

But I also saw this:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102634

Sapphire Radeon X800GTO2 $240 shipped

When modded to XT PE speeds it gets about the same performance as the 7800GT, and for $100 less... hm choices choices :yumyum:

 

[Eguy]

get the GT

I dunno bout XFX... I've heard some mad horror stories about their cards randomly dieing. But they do carry a helluva warranty.

I have had some scares with my XFX, wicked card and looks good, but when you don't heavily overclock it and it starts to display nasty artifacts in Windows at stock speeds, you tend to shit your pants biblical style

ps - Frag, as per your quote... don't OC'ing your card with the software still void that huge warranty?? I thought that it was a marketing scam to make you buy it thinking 'if it dies next year, I can get it replaced', then of course the second you clock it, you may as well wipe your arse with the warranty paper!

I haven't actually ready the whole page of gumph with the Nvidia OC utility, but I was under the impression you did void it, cos you can still fuck your card by manually pushing the clock to highbefore 'testing' it with that test button..... may not be 100% on this :eh:
