AAAhhh some feedback again, at last!
Rest of yiur rig?
Scores is not to bad, best on the page so far!
Did you open the pipelines yet?

I'm still useing the old MX510 and don't see any reason to 'upgrade' my mouse for years to come (if it keeps on going that long).
No mousepad, I'm useing old filecover and it wonderfull!!

Whatever you do don't even try Kingmax. Default timings is 2.5-4-4-8 and you will sweat to get a 10MHz oc on them!
My Corsair VS is doing good though, runnig at 245....2.5-3-3-7

And by the way snow_monkey... bam can't skate to save his life.

If I can recall right that chip didn't last long, only finished Super PI and fried afterwards???
Still, its a hell of an oc!

Ok lets put it this way... WoW has a player base of 5.5 million and the subscription is R95 a month. GW has a player base of around 500 000, no subscription. Now from that...can you make a deduction to which is the better game. 1ST get your facts sorted out like when was WoW released when was GW re...

Guys... anyone getting Factions... i pre-ordered the collectors from budget... it hits home on the 28th! Man i cant wait... Im gonna start another cahracter, an assassin! Yes, getting it mid- May. Maybe we can do some missions together sometime- my cahracter name is Generaal De Wet lvl20 Wo/Me........

If you made a good decision your card should last at least 3 years. The last card I bought before my GTX was in 2003 and lasted until FEAR, COD2 before I couldn't run everything maxxed out. A 7800GS should last him 3 years before he has to upgrade. Yes good point, but then again, gaming and GFX tec...

WoW is about 1000000x better then GW. I have both and i stopped playing GW the moment i subscribed for WoW.

I don't think so!!!!!!!!
WoW sucks, GW rules!

Thanx guys, he decided on the ASUS becuase of the 3 year warrenty. XFX has a 2 year warrenty so my only question is; way the hell will you use the card for more than 2 years? On average you change onch a year!

BTW:Is R3500 for a new XFX7800GS 256mb AGP8X a good deal?
I don't have enough to upgrade to PCI-E yet..

Got mine for R2900.....

I'm also very happy with my XFX and I think its the best, aspecialy when I look at my benchmarks considerinig the cpu on my rig but he can't make up his mind and I promised him that I will call for some 3rd party opinions

johankirsten wrote:You've got an XFX card...

No this is for a friend, I'm only upgradeing in July but his old 2800+ Barton is getting a bit sluggish.

I was just wondering........ In your opinion witch of the XFX 7900gt XXX or ASUS 7900gt Top is the best considering that I can get both for more or less the same price. The res of the rig will basicaly consist out of a ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe and a Athlone64 4000+ cpu with 2Gb Corsair RAM. Any remarks...

Did you try it out yet? How is it (any inprovement).
This game is adictive as is and now its getting even better!!!!!!!!!!!

Any other 7800gs users out there? I'm getting 6842.
Not to bad for a nVidia AGP card.... I think....

Open system properties, look under conflicts / sharing and let us know.

No, its on its own rail!

Ok guys, the problem is parcially solved!
I uninstalled ALL my drivers, modo and GFX and installed the new card...it worked.
The only problem left is the same I had with my 6800 running on a 300W PSU, as soon as it takes a bit of grunt (eg. 4xAA,8xAF) it restarts the PC.
This is definately the PSU!?

Nah.....can't be what I just said. You monitor will easilly run at 1280X1024.... I doubt its your PSU though.....If you put your old graphics card back in, does it work fine? Also, can you try the new card in another PC? Just saw on the box that the min req PSU is 400W with a 12v current of 20A. My...

a Samsung SyncMaster 793s (17")

Last Desember I had big plans for upgradeing but after a few problems it became financialy imposible so the only opsion for me was to get myself a 7800GS. This moreing after a long wiat I got my card at last and with hight expectations installed it only to have my extacy be shattered! Everything boo...
