Hey MOC, your setup says "BFG 7800 GS = 515/1460 flashed to a EVGA 7800 KO OC" , does that mean you flashed the video card bios from the EVGA card "into" the BFG 7800 GS ? Or is it the other way around, you flashed the video card bios from the BFG 7800 to an EVGA 7800 ? Asking this, because...

Sending it back is not an option. I'd rather listen to someone else that would have alternatives , or ideas on making this card work. Better coming from those that have used, or is using the same card. Like I said before, almost all the issues have been cleared up, except for the minor...

humm, 99.9% that you are older then the rest of us ? Perhaps ? If you don't mind me asking, how old are you ? I'm pretty sure I am older then most people in here, but I come across a few at times that are older then me. I been a gamer since the late mid 70's, more so in the late 70's and...

ohh, yes, I loved the show then, and yoshi's mods and stuff. Ever since the channel name changed, programming changed, it had been going downhill since the changes started taking place. I used to watch really nice Computer Tech shows, and those on Tech TV was my favorite. Right now, I don't...

yes, Mark is correct, as long as you have the proper drivers for your video card, and the proper drivers for the monitor, you should have no problems with it. Most times, you will see the resolutions available to you, based mainly on what your monitor supports, more so then the video card...

I don't think the video card is bad. If you do some reading about the BFG 7800GS, there is a lot of people that have issues with it, several of them, very close or about the same issues I am having. My problems with the card used to be a lot worst, but I have been a system builder / Computer...

BTW, another note I left out, about DX10, is currently isn't any DX10 cards for the AGP. Another problem is, even is you did have a DX10 card, you also HAVE to have Vista for you to be able to use DX10. As it stands, MS only put it into Vista, and think MS did that as a way to force more people...

I recently bought an BFG 7800 AGP card for my aging Athlon XP system. I needed the upgrade because of serious frame rate issues I was having playing Vanguard with an 5700 LE. The 5700 LE had been doing fine on frame rates on games like EQ1, EQ2, and SWG, but not Vanguard. Well, anyway, I...

"fastest? I don't think so, a x1950 pro 512 agp will chew the 7800 gs" Thats not entirely true, it depends on what brand of the 7800 GS you get. Some 7800 is a good bit better then other 7800's (I am speaking of AGP). Some brands have more pipes open then others. As that one guy said...

I'm interested in the Heatsink (SP97) Let me know soon as you can what the status or situation is on it. Already got the CPU, so don't need it. Just got in the unlocked XP-M 2600+ CPU
