Why cant i find the winfast 7800gtx with 256mb...extreme edition anywhere? and still cant decide what to get. Also, I threw the other drivers in, and lowered my settings just a bit, and everything is fine. I still want more performance.

eVGA is the way to go for the GTX man. And glad things got smoothed out. THats exactly why i wait about 2 to 3 months before using new drivers.

 

[PanzerKammander]

Yeah, but im comparing bfg's oc'd 7800GTX with the Leadtek 7800GTX and The Leadtek wins out with 30 more core clock. and 50 less mem clock...which with the massive heatsink fan combo, should allow for some more oc'ing. I am not sure which yet, but i dont think a 512 is worth it.

I think it is, it will let you play games max until UT2007. If you got the money then get it but i stress an eVGA one still.

 

[PanzerKammander]

I am not really into UT...

I dont know...ah, Im just going to forget about it. lol Save up for a Ducati 999r and go riding.

 

[PP Mguire]

Lol dude i said all the games UP to UT2007.

 

[PanzerKammander]

I know. I was just joking around... lol... Sorry if i confused you.

You may not like UT, but a great deal of future games will be based off of Unreal Engine 3, which the only single-card solution available today that will play it well is the GeForce 7800GTX 512MB. And I don't even think it will be able to max it. UT2007 will probably be a game that is unable to be maxed upon release because the hardware just wont be available. Its only a year away. To explain why this game will be so demanding, part of it is the textures, which are 2048x2048, compared to Doom 3's 256x256. Yes, its going to change the way we look at gaming forever, much like Doom 1 did and then Half Life 1 did.
