Please tell me that "lol" isn't an indicator of some gRAVE mistake on my part, is it? .. hehe

i want one of thease cards so bad i love all i read about em but i have 7800 gtx and think i would be a little silly if i went down that road but then again errrrr

nice choice m8 enjoy.

Thanks man

You could always eBay you 7800, then again its still a nice card.

I'm looking forward to blasting the Res / details up.

I wanna get some more ram in the near future too, on thing at I time I guess

Don't worry, you've made the right choice

i just wish they'd had the 7900GTO at this price when I got my 7900GTs :eek:

You want a faster CPU now so as not to bottleneck.

spb251272 · 17 Oct 2006 at 12:46

I'd get 2 gigs of ram before a new cpu, unless you do both at the same time then you could get DDR2 and a conroe

akirru · 17 Oct 2006 at 13:20

Well I can't afford a Conroe anytime soon, I might get some Ram though.

Maybe I could clock up my cpu a little?

When does your new card arrive?

akirru · 17 Oct 2006 at 14:07

Tomorrow I hope

Can't wait to get that beast in my machine, although i'm working tomorrow. So i'll likely have to wait till thursday.

I've got my copy of windows ready for a format for the new card.

What about yours dude?

NightSt@lk3r · 17 Oct 2006 at 14:11

mine arrived this morning, great card

Ya I'll be ordering, but im just kind of in a stand still. Even though im getting that card and the new power supply. I only have 1GB of RAM which in reality will be my bottleneck. The 2GB of RAM will have to wait a month or something, but right now I have 4x256MB so it means the cost goes way up.

How can I know if DDR2 is compatible, is there an easier way then counting pins or whatever.

Dont worry mate, you got a stonkin card on its way. Got mine today and after a little bit of a hiccup (It didnt like my overclocked conroe, its on a duff mobo though ;D) its now working smooth as butter. Runs Call of Juarez everything on max 1280 smooth as you like. Loving it

Macabre · 17 Oct 2006 at 23:33

Sounds good.

NightSt@lk3r you had a top end card before anyway, lol, must have to much loose cash to throw around eh?

Hi all

Not been a green boy for years now since my FX5900, and just installed my GTO and was wondering what is everyone using to o/c. I want to see how far this great card goes!
Ps Sorry if its a stupid question.
