Hey guys, I'm in over my head, could really use some advice.

I'm building a new rig, and I already am set on buying an e6600. If I do buy a nvidia card, I'm going to SLI down the line (just buy one card right away). Right now I'm looking at buying like a 7800gt or gtx. I don't really want to spend more than 350, but 425ish would be ok.

If I need to go the ATI path, I want to do crossfire (eventually buy the second card, again, not right away). Again, budget constraint for the single card should be 350ish, but we could go into the 425ish range if necessary.

Any help would just be amazing. Thanks guys! Go [H]OCP
 
X1900XT

There is a BB ATi X1900XT for 322 on NewEgg, or there is one for 274 after MIR BB MSI.
 
Personally think SLI is a waste of money... By the time you need a second card down the road, there's a better video card for cheaper and newer...

Money no problem... 1900XT or 7900GT/GTX 512 meg varieity...

Anyways 1800XT FTW... Great bang for the buck...

850xt for budget now and wait for dx10....
 
Buy an eVGA card and then you can use their upgrade program to get a DirectX 10 card.

When they were ~$200 I'd agree. Sadly, those are long gone.

The few X1800XTs you'll still find out there now are going for the same, if not more, than the X1900XTs.

IF you search EBAY.... You can easily find them for around $200 brand new... They have new 512meg ones for $250...

Yes... but then for only $20 more you can get a X1900XT which has way more shader power.

Really where can I find 1900xt for $220? If you're talking about the 512meg version... That's true but than you have to wait on rebates which you don't know if it's going to come or not...


I hate rebates... :mad:
 
Yes I am talking about the 512 version.

This is the USA... if they don't send $, you sue.

Come on get real? You hire some lawyer that is going to cost more than the rebate itself?

Makes prefect sense... :confused:

I wish I can sue the mothers who made my life what it is now... Or pushed me into going extreme... But I can't... Cause there's no such thing as FREEDOM... At least NoT REAL FREEDOM anyways... Nothing is fair... kind of like you send in rebates and no money comes...
