EVGA 7900 vs 8800...

[Skooongie]

I don't plan on upgrading my system for a while, since it works fine. All I really play is CSS and watch movies.

Would a 8800gt...? be a reasonable upgrade to get? They are so cheap right now.

Thanks guys.

About 100% increase in performance with the right CPU. With your CPU it will be a lot lower though.

So long as it's a 512MB version, though your P4 is going to be a huge issue in anything that isn't heavily GPU-intensive. Depending on your settings you may see zero framerate increase in CSS, even.

the 8800gt was a gift from the gpu gods. great performance for the price.

Alright, I guess I will hold off and upgrade the MOBO and CPU first.

Thanks.

Look on the forums here and try to grab an HD3870 for $60 - $65 shipped. That would at least get you better performance now that would burry your 7900GT and isn't too far behind an 8800GT anyways.
