Upgrade Graphics Cards

I would like to upgrade my 7800GTX to GeForce 7950 GX2 SuperClocked 1024MB GDDR3 , would this card fit my system o.k as this system was given to me by my brother , or wait until BFG 8800 GTX

That was rather generous of your brother, yes the graphics card would work fine although it is total overkill considering you have a 19" monitor.

It isn't on the compatibility list:

But the Premium and Deluxe are so I'd have thought it would be ok.

Would the BFG 8800 GTX be a better choice

If you're willing to spend the extra then yes.

But you could buy the EVGA 7950GX2 and then just step up and pay the difference when the 8800GTX/S arrives.

Yup that would be the way to do it,


That way you get a fast card now and the refreshed 8800 in a few months time

But if he's really lucky the 8800GTX could drop in price so much that they pay him to step up.
