8800GTX for my new system :D

[FrannoBaz]

Just ordered BFG 8800GTX OC 768mb. How much of a step up will it be over my current 7600GT 256mb?

 

[james.miller]

a very big step. shouldn't you have have researched this before you bought it?

A pretty damn big step up.

At least 4x the power, in terms of raw pixel-pushing. I went from SLI'd 7800GTXs to a single 8800GTX, and it was a pretty big step up, so you should be satisfied.

You won't be disappointed with that board

OC'ed my 6600 to 3.4ghz with that, no stability problems at all.

awww he's just excited about his new graphics card

FrannoBaz: Someone I know did a similiar upgrade (although that was a super low end to 7900GTO), and they were excessively happy for months

What cooler you using on you e6600 franno? 3.4ghz will need a fairly decent one.

great, I'm about to upgrade from 2x 7800GT SLI to a single 8800GTX, and was wondering how much difference it would be. Mainly for Oblivion really, good to know it'll be a nice improvement.

Oblivion's night and day.

I game @ 1680x1050 and Oblivion really benefitted from the 8800.

I have run all the sliders and goodies to full and am more than happy!

Hope you enjoy it when you get it!
