it wouldn't really be worth it. what did you pay for the 7800gtx's? you know the 7900gtx's are only about $500 a piece, right? Don't both upping from the 7800gtx to the 7900gt, 2 or 3 frames in a game isn't worth the shipping charges.

I used to see a tab in the Driver Properties window, that was called 'Digital Flat Panel' or something along those lines. It could help force aspect ratio and whatnot. I prefer running games on my display in 1280x800, but now it is stretching to full screen when I have that res. selected. I just...

those scams hype the product and act like its a normal product, but he is a bad scammer.. almost all the other ones who do this, put that disclaimer at the bottom of the page. often goes unread, and thus you think its the normal product. dont bid. too risky. technically, the scammers state...

the CO is a better card anyhow, and not sure if you could get that overclock why would evga include copper, if it didn't need to for those clockspeeds? copper costs more, so why put it there if it isn't going to be necessary? and either way, all evga's 7800gt's qualify for Quake4...

that may be not true over being able to overclock it, as the n515 model uses an aluminum cooler, the n517 model uses a copper cooler (its the 7800GT CO)

tearing is an issue that has to do with refresh rate (the 60Hz). And while I am not sure if higher refresh rate effects tearing (I use an LCD at 60Hz, so not sure)..., if the SED can handle it, then sure. But how it will change refresh rate is beyond me, since its not a single ray scanning...

well if ur upgrading from the 6800, then nothing really, everything worth upgrading to from what you have is starting at the 7800gt price and sliding upwards.

phix, might as well register for that mystery game bundle and i bought my card on the 29th, and after a run-around with some support tech, I got to talking to a different tech and will be getting my CoD2 in the mail in about 2 weeks. Sweet, late xmas present probably! i tried my luck and...

it would likely be either a 'riser' card or a simply card like they today but with replaceable gpu's via a socket. at this point in time, jamming all those features of a full-fledged videocard, including the memory, the capacitors, and the socket for the gpu itself... i dont see that being...

it might be you have to realize all cards returned will be scrutinized no matter what so whatever they do to determine if a card was overclocked, they will do for every card returned. why? because they have to, to determine if something really was wrong with the card before they recycle it...

the n516 is 460/100, the n517 is 470/100 i believe though, the n516 is supposed to be 460/1050 either way, after attempting to overclock and deciding to settle back to stock, my n516 is now at 470/1100 lol maybe a frame or two difference in performance, if that ;)

im not saying it would matter, but if that were the situation then it would. i personally believe there is a chance evga will honor that. but they might also think "what does a guy need 2 copies of the game for?" lol good luck to ya though :)

you dont think FEAR, Call of Duty 2, and other similar recent launched titles are pushing the GPU's? There wont be a CPU bottleneck for awhile. The upcoming cards will be far from creating any bottleneck situations.

currently the 7800GT CO is the cheapest model eVGA offers (on newegg) and its actually the best as well. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?Submit=Go&DEPA=0&type=&description=evga+7800&Category=0&minPrice=&maxPrice=&Go.x=0&Go.y=0 the n516 and n517 (7800gt CO SE, and 7800GT CO...

performance is always so close between different versions of the exact same card.... so its up to your personal preferences do you like xfx's double lifetime warranty better than evga's excellent customer support and 9 day step-up?

yep that sounds like an awesome idea pave way for cheaper gpu upgrades and the ability to upgrade memory and the gpu itself at will

he might get lucky doing that, but um... the invoice is all under the same name and they require the invoice.

go reread my post a few posts up i already explained thats not evga's fault. thats newegg selling the n518 model of the 7800gt for more than the other models. That card cost that much before the free mobo giveaway. Look at evga's prices and tell me its evga ripping people off its still less...

see here's the real problem newegg has always sold the n518 card for $380, even before the free motherboard deal came back. and its the slowest model of all the 7800gt's from evga. I just think they arent buying as many and thus, aren't able to sell the card for as cheap. because direct from...

its on both the card (a sticker) and on the box

well what weren't you impressed about? the chip itself or the quality of the card? because a card made from one company usually doesn't perform different, maybe a frame or two every second. brand quality is determined by how often a card doesn't work right, and how good customer support is.

evga and xfx are the two brands to buy xfx is a little bit cheaper, and their appeal is double lifetime warranty, meaning if u sell a card to a friend, that person can also have a lifetime warranty, or you can buy a used card and also get a lifetime warranty (if it was only used once before)...

http://evga.com/community/promos/cod2/game.asp good luck and register your card first

not all came in the boxes i have a feeling a couple of us got screwed the page to request CoD2 was up when i bought it (november 29th), and i got a reply saying i wont be getting one because the promotion ended on november 16th. so i've sent an email complaining because both nvidia and evga...

im hoping that will coincide with the release of the G71 "7900 Ultra"... as at the end of february my evga step-up period ends, so that card better be out by then or ima cry lol

yea no problem its a bummer, and a feature that should become more widespread. im not sure if the new dell xps 2 (laptop) supports it, but I know its a common feature on the alienware laptops.

while some laptops do indeed sport an upgrade ability through graphics card modules.. that laptop does not. I am not aware of any Toshiba models supporting that feature either. That model has integrated graphics in the chipset.

pci-e wasn't an unnecessary standard, and it wasn't created strictly for videocards, it simply provided the ability to integrate videocard technology into pci technology each lane of pci-e is dedicated bandwidth, unlike PCI.. AGP was created because graphics cards needed dedicated bandwidth...

which part, the 'oh my' or the 'a little bit of cum just came out'

Gaming at the moment does not take advantage of the full bandwidth available through PCI-e 16x. Thats why you see no difference in a videocard at PCI-e 8x and 16x (two cards in SLI normally run at 8x each instead of 16x, for a combined total of 16 lanes). lemme dig up the specs: ...

believe me the GPU is still the bottleneck why do I say this? Look at games like FEAR and Call of Duty 2.. both system pushers that require more hardware than is available today. Either the new cards coming out will handle it, or the cards after that will. And whenever the Phys-x card comes...

you'd have to have a laptop that supported video in. im not aware of too many that do other than the newer and media-centric ones. i may be wrong and may be thinking backwards though ;)

hey addict, what can i say i love wankel's handywork ;)

wankel, actually nevermind, but howabout a Samsung 730b? i gave back my sony to bestbuy and got the samsung from them instead, worlds better and yet quite a bit cheaper. i wouldn't be needing this for some time, mostly because I don't have the money. i'll shoot ya a PM though when I am...

any possibility of making a transport for a non-dell case? I just got a Sony HDM-HS75P, and moving it to a LAN might prove tricky.

how are the colors? do they seem to be accurate? have you ran any tests on it to determine the quality of the spectrum? is the black a deep black? i really want those kind of answers, it will help be decide all the reviews for that 1912 are speculative, nothing concrete and that scares me...

I am right now looking at three LCDs, and need to decide on one of them. can I get some help? personal opinions? user-reviews? etc etc... Sony SDM-HS75P/B http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=6988218&type=product&productCategoryId=cat15201&id=1099390028409 ViewSonic VA1912WB...

what you forget is that vsync cap at 60fps, but what happens when you're hardware can't supply 60fps? It cuts it in half, so you get a 30fps cap until the hardware can actually supply 60fps again. Can't supply 30fps? You get a 15fps cap. You can see how this can be painful. 75hz can be better...

x360 would downscale to 720p from 900, no 1080p available. other than that it should work fine and look great.

but those are the right mobo's...
