eVGA 7800 GTX and ASUS A8N SLI Deluex

[Moonie512b]

I've installed an eVGA 7800 GTX video card ( 1 card) onto my ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe MOBO. I,ve connected power to the Video Card through the Supplemental Power Adapter on the card. Am I also required to put power to the EZ plug on the Motherboard?

Yep. Nice card too, I'm getting one. How is it?

Good choice of video card :classic:

Yes, the mobo requires the two power cables.

I heard the 7800 is quite good from a pcworld magazine review. Cant remember, I think it got 5 stars out of 6 on overall.

Cant remember who, but some people here, from what I can remember, disagreed with the 7800 completely, said it wasnt enough to go up from the 6800.

going from 6800 to 7800 is a little overdone, lots of money. If you have a 6800 series, wait for a 7900 or 7950gt.

yeah, i got a 6800GT, although just got the pc last saturday. What are your plans to do with your 6800 u got atm..? thats if ur buying the 7900 or so.

 

[U-Toast]

im not getting anything for a while, i jsut spent 700$ on some stuff (Z-5500, mitsubishi 2060u, mouse, and stuff)

 

[Xiahou]

fair enough, i just spent 1270$ on my pc, about 730 pound.

That money does not include the HDDs i got..

Their will be no 7900 or 7950GT

You may be mixing that up with ATI's x900(Pro, XT) and possibly X950XT
