At the mo I have a Gainward 6800GT @ Ultra speeds (Golden Sample).
What id like to know is if its worth me selling this and buying a Gainward 7800GS Silent 512mb?

How much of a difference could I expect to see?
 
When I was looking around I saw that the 7800 version has far better options that the 6800 series simply doesnt have. While the frame rate might not be a big increase, im sure you can turn up the other effects instead?
 
I only have the decent Tagan 480W which works perfectly for me and is very much recommended. If someone "recommends" something in a shop, I wouldnt bother listening to them, as they probably sell the rubbish stock to people that dont know better.

Anyways, im tempted to go for that Gainward card, especially with the price falling twice in the last week
 
As long as I can find a home for my Gainward 6800GT first, then there wont be a problem, card should then last me until next year which is all im asking of my current rig that is starting to creak now, you know what its like lol.

Anyways, not really sure how much of a performance gain I will reach, but people do say there is a lot more flashy effects you can then activate, am I right?
 
I would probably sell for around £130-£135, only because its the Gainward special that lets it run on Ultra settings all the time, so its basically, a 6800 Ultra card.
 
Well i cant seem to shift my one for £135, maybe £130 but nobody seems to want it, and I cant understand why as I thought it would be a desireable purchase :(
