I know what you mean I am tempted to just return both of my 7800GTX's to Dell and keep these cards. After paying $400 each for the 6800's which worked great for the short time I used them and it might not be worth the cost of losing money on the 6800's and buying the 7800's.
Guys thanks for the e-mails about the price at Newegg I read the rebate wrong. Well I have dropped the price on both cards to $260 each including shipping. I hope that is a better price point.
Thanks again I appreciate the feedback.

Selling two barely used BFG 6800GT OC PCI-E 256 MB. Never Over Clocked. I have put the link to Newegg for the cards I am selling. Both cards come with all conectors, cables, packing and FarCry as shown on the NewEgg link.

Dr. John,
I am also running BF2 on my Dell 2405 and there is a setting you can add to the shortcut target that will run the game in native 1920 x 1200 for the Dell 2405 so there is no stretched look.
Here it is direct from www.tweakguides.com

Hey all just installed and ran my new BFG 7800GTX in SLI on a AMD 55FX system. I was running BFG 6800 GT OC SLI before that and getting 50+ FPS with some settings set to Medium and 4X AA+AF. Now I read some people setting everything to high and getting 50+ FPS in BF2 but I am only getting 20+...
PC Power & Cooling Turbo-Cool® 510 Express / SLI\
Originally used the Antec NeoPower 480 with BFG 6800 GT OC's and couldn't run them both one rail was really weak. Since using the PCP&C 510 not a problem
That is a tough one. I tried a 9800 Pro in my Dell with a similar PS and it would not work. I called Dell to double check the PS and it was a 230 watt I believe. I would call Dell to double check the PS specs. Good Luck
Hi all,
I am selling an AMD 3200+, 1.5 Gig Memory and an ATI 9800 Pro to a friend of mine. He wants to upgrade to another GPU for this system without spending much more than $200. He is doing this to play BF2. I have suggested a few options for an APG card that wont break the bank: The 6600...
I had similar problems with a new system and did all the testing. And everything came up fine. The shutdown would only happen during graphic intensive games or 3D Mark testing. Come to find out my Antec Neopower 480 PSU really weak on one rail was causing the problem. It would only occur in SLI...
For me a few extra bucks for a solid no hassle warranty is worth its weight in gold when you have a problem. After spend so much for a video card I want a better warranty just in case. On that note I am sure both cards will perform similarly.
Thanks have run all the drivers including the beta ones on 3D Guru and I still get screen and graphic glithches. Cant Run Wow, EQ2, 3D Mark 2003 and some other things in SLI. This go around I leave the second card in place and turn off SLI in the NVidia driver.
Oh I saw the upgrading in a few year and thought U might be going with 2 cards. As for the Neo 480 it has been reviewed as having a weak +12 rail. Even with one video card it you might need more power but I doubt it. I really liked the modular setup of the 480 and was disappointed when I had...
The card should stay in either in two card SLI or turned around in Single Card setup. It just chages the bandwidth of the PCI from 16 to 8.
My system would keep shutting down and it was a Power Supply issue. With new PS i can run with both Vid Cards but many things I run with cause sync...
True it is not that hard to use but I have had nothing but headaches using SLI. Most things I bought the thing to use with dont work well with SLI and I end up removing one card and just running in single GPU instead. Many issues with Sync in SLI. NVidia points the finger at the application and...
You are right mine might have been defective. The only thing I can add is two other reviews of this unit mentioned the same thing weak 12 volt rail and actually had the same or really close readings as I was getting. When I removed one of the 6800GT's the system ran fine. Antec did offer to take...
I checked it with Multi and it had 11.57. The 11.60 to 11.77 result on the 12 rail is consistent with a few reviews for the Neo 480 that stated the only downside was the weak 12 volt rail. It gets very confusing as some site reviews use this PS for similiar system as mine running dual 6800 Ultra...
I had a problem with the Neo being low on the 12 volt rail (11.63) and couldn't run with 2 BFG OC 6800GT's. There are many reviews out there that state the only downside to the Neo 489 is that the 12 volt rail can run on the low side and others dont see that so I am guessing it is dependent on...
Good points TrueRush. This is my first try at building a machine and I read everything I could about all the equipment so I didn't make a wrong choice. Until last night everything I read indicated that the NEO 480 would work on my system. So I spent 2 days trying to get Raid 0 to work and had no...
Agreed MikeBlas my original post was to help inform and ask a question regarding Raid O. After further research and cutting through the hype put out there but custom PC builders it seemed that for gaming Raid 0 was the way to go but in the long run it would only make a diiference if you was...
Well the lock ups where caused, surprisingly, by the lack of power from the Neo 480 PSU. The 12 volt rail was only reading 11.63 and would drop to 11.57 when running with both Vida Cards in and my system would shutdown. I removed one vid card and everything ran fine I also swapped out the second...
Just purchased a 510 SLI to replace a Neo 480 I am having problems with. I haven't seen or tried the 510 SLI yet as it just shipped today. What is the new unit coming out and when? Also I purchased the 510 from Frozencpu; surprise they are located closer to me and the Rep at PcPwr&C said buy it...

Trunk I would like to know how you made out with the Neo PS. I bought one and I am having problems with lock ups. Running standard SLI system and my 12 Volt rail comes in at 11.64 with no load and actually goes down to 11.56 this falls right in line with a few reviews I read (Sadly after the...
I am not sure on this one. I am running an SLI system.

My +12 line starts at 11.63 volts and goes down from there causing lock ups. After reading several reviews on the PS it seems the...

Hum power might be the issue the specs for the Antec Neopower 480 give +/- 3% across the board and my +12 volt is running at 11.64 with nothing running that is exactly 3% on the low end.

First Question: I am not sure how to hook up the fans for the items I have:

Hi all,
I was trying to setup a bootable Raid 0 on my new system with A8N-SLI Deluxe and had no luck setting it up. So I thought after doing some more research, will I see any increase in performance for what I do with a Raid 0 setup. I use my computer for online and single player gaming and...
Yes it is the Delete Key. Hit it when U see the BIOS start up or the ASUS Spash screen will come up first if that option is checked. Try hitting and holding it. Trust me it should work I been trying to setup a Raid on a new system since Friday with no luck at all but I have updated the BIOS to 1006.
