Should I sell my 7800gtx and go ati?

[Aliboy]

Hello peeps,

I've been browsing away (as you do) and I seem to have come across a couple of threads where posters are saying that they have sold their 7800's and went with ATI's x1800xt.

I'm thinking about selling mine if this is the case (along with a few other bits and bobs) and I just wondered what you nice people thought about this

Any advice

What's wrong with the 7800 GTX?

Nothing, I guess I'm just trying to keep up with the Jones's tbh

But if I sell it then for not a lot more spondoolies I can get something super dooper fantastic (me thinks ).

Hi,

don't just copy other people (baa baa) make your own mind up what works for you. There is no point in trying to keep at the bleeding edge of VGA tech, you both have *stunning* graphics cards now stop wasting time asking silly questions and go play some games and enjoy!

But I heard it was a better card Bwaaaaaaah

what? there is no point at all in doing this.. by all means sell your gtx for an x1900 but this is just stupid lol.

It was only because I had read that there was a good deal in difference to image quality that lead me to make this thread .... nothing wrong in that is there

Okay, I may have come across wrong in my original post so I'll try and justify myself here
I wouldn' dream of trying to 'keep up with the Jones's' as I really think it is a waste of money ..... however, my latest pc upgrade (virtually my whole rig) was down to insurance money and not out of my own pocket so to speak
So, apart from that I may (just) upgrade every two years or so. So seeing as I hadn't forked out the money myself on this rig I just wondered what the best upgrade would be for me seeing as I might not uprade for a while (albeit the sound card might be next on the list ).

I'll give you a run down on my specs and you can tell me if there would be anything that you would change if you were to keep your system the same for the next 1 1/2 to 2 years

AMD 3700+ san diego
Asus A8N32-SLi Deluxe nForce4 SLi m/b
Corsair 2GB DDR XMS3200C2PT TwinX (2x1GB)
Audigy 2zs sound card
Samsung SpinPoint 160GB h/d
maxtor dvd blah blah blah
Leadtek GeForce 7800 GTX 256MB
Akasa Eclipse-62 Aluminum Case (Nice and roomy but quite a bit of vibration I've noticed).
Hiper HPU-4B580 Type R 580W

I just want something that I can keep nice and simple (without overclocking really) that I know will play my games (bf2 and fs9) with ease.
I do have a really crappy moitor though (it was bought about 6 years ago) so I may need to upgrade that soon.

I do like a quiet pc though so the Akasa Ambers that I have installed may have to be replaced with SilenX (shock horror) and the same may go for the psu (silenX again I'm afraid).
