elite · 6 Feb 2006 at 01:15

ok atm this is my setup:

Dual Core 4800+ @ 2.7Ghz
DFI LanParty NF4 SLI-DR
2x XFX GeForce 7800GTX Extreme XXX Edition 256MB 530/1300
Corsair 2GB DDR XMS3200C2PT TwinX
Viewsonic 19" 2ms
X-Fi Elite Pro
Logitech Z-5500

Im stuck on what to do with my rig, I got £300 doing nothing and two 7800GTX I mite sell to save up for two 7900GTX when they are here. Or do I keep the cards and buy a £300 watercooling setup? Sell both cards and buy two 7800GTX 512mb? or even one 1900XTX? Which ever way I look at it I just cant make up my mind what to do about my graphics.

So if you was in my position and wanted to upgrade but didnt no how what would you do?

Thanks

Buy a 24" widescreen.if you can get the extra..

I would wait for the new 7900gtx g71..
Two xt1900xt in crossfire will not be that much faster then your two highly overclocked 7800gtx 256mb cards..

Well done that man above...

Stop wasting money on GFX cards and get a decent size monitor and put your current setup to good use!

24" TFT get yourself one, you know you want too!

rofl funny thing is iv already had two Dell2405's and sold them on. First time I sold one I needed the cash for my current cpu. After crimbo I got another and 3 days later sold it after using a CRT for months I couldnt get use to the response time of the Dell so it was bye bye for the second time, reason why I got a 2ms LCD

any more idea? and my cards arent overclocked they auto clock at 526mhz, dont ask why but they do

How about a Herman Miller chair then, more comfort for you whilst gaming?

easyrider · 6 Feb 2006 at 01:45

why do you want to upgrade?
You have a 19" LCD monitor and 2 7800 gtx's.

the resoultion you play doesnt even stretch the gfx cards.

In fact 2 7800 gt's on a 19" TFT is a complete waste of time and overkill.

You have or interested in a Xbox 360.

I myself is trying to save for a 32" or 37" LCD tv.
But my saving not working very good..I keep spending what i save on my PC

Already got a expensive chair and has for overkill, not at all my fps in bf2 is around 60-80 which if it was overkill would be at bf2's max fps @ 101fps. Not interested in game consoles, never been a big fan of them always liked computers. As for a new tele thats a Idea I never thought of

easyrider · 6 Feb 2006 at 01:57

come on you wont see any difference in those extra fps.
Why upgrade if there is no problem.

I think with a setup like that you've got more money than sense!

So to be honest, you should give me that £300 and i will spend it well, dont worry!

Haha, i'd upgrade the monitor or get a high quality surround sound system maybe? Defo no need to upgrade, your current setup is more than good enough for applications now and the near future.
