HOW GOOD ARE BFG 7800GTX 512's ??

[hannibal2381]

What sort of scores are people getting with these ?? i get 9,910 in 3dmark 05 is this good? also it wont let me overclock in nvidia panal using coolbits even 1mhz increments?? whats going on ??

 

[hannibal2381]

not really heard much about the 512 version except they were expensive. what can i compare it too ? also i paid £264 for it, is that a bit much ??

 

[hannibal2381]

£264 is fine for that card. its comparable to a 7900gtx i think if overclocked, probably a bit more reliable at the moment too

thing is i can't overclock it... coolbits wont let me.
even 1mhz over on core or memory and it says it is unstable...

 

[hannibal2381]

i had a x1900xtx which was good but i only have a 17" monitor now and max res is 1280x1024... still if it ever goes wrong if they aint got any 7800gtx 512's in they will probably give me a 7900gtx.. so cant be bad really.

 

[hannibal2381]

Not at all, and if they don't have stocks of 7900 GTX's they would give you an x1900 XT, as they can supply either brand, as long as its equivalent/or greater performance.

Dont get you ?? i have a bfg 7800gtx so why would they give me an ati card ???

 

[hannibal2381]

bfg dont do ati card's do they ?? so how can BFG give me an ati card if i have an nvidia ?? plus i could be running sli and that wouldn't be compatible ??

 

[hannibal2381]

The retailer would, if you go through BFG though they would give you a 7900 as as you say they don't do ATi cards, and 7800 512mbs are no longer made, and aint been made for donks.

thats what i meant mate !! straight through BFG.

 

[hannibal2381]

Yeah i thought that afterwards DOH!!

LMAO
