How big of a difference?

one is:
Core clock: 450MHz
Memory Clock: 1050MHz

the other is
Core clock: 470MHz
Memory Clock: 1200MHz
 
The 7800GTX has four more pixel pipelines, along with higher core and memory speeds.

So unless your getting it for an even trade up or +$20 then it isn't worth the upgrade.
 
Oh, I didn't want to upgrade, I was just wondering how much of a difference there was between the GTX vs my GT
 
The difference would be noticeable when you add the eye candy. I.E. you switching to 4xSSAA on 7800GTX instead of 2xSSAA on a 7800GT. Essentially, the GTX is slightly better performing than a 7900GT.
 
Yeah I was a bit upset. I purchased my XFX 7800GT off of newegg for $289 I believe.. 2 days after I purchased I noticed that the 7950GT's were selling for $279 I was very upset..but what can I do now ya know.

Send it back, there's got to be a pretty big difference between the 7800GT and any 7900---

As long as your still giving the company your business, there's nothing wrong correcting an error.
 
newegg's standard return policy is you can return for a refund within 30 days of purchase. so if you got your 7800gt within 30 days, return it, and spend your money on the 7900gt or 7950gt
 
Ok, well I just checked I ordered on the 13th of October... so I have about 10 days to return it if I want to. But it appears the XFX 7950GT went up to $319. Should I send my card back and spend an extra $30 for the 7950GT?
 
You should send it back.
The 7950 will have distinct performance advantages over the 7800. :D

Clock and memory speeds are much faster.

I have a system with 7800GTX in SLI, and my new build with 1 7900 GTX can outperform it, easily.

You wont be sorry you did it.
 
Ok looks I will be sending it back probably. How long would it take for newegg to proccess this would it go faster than it did or should I get 2nd day or over night shipping? because I like to game so hehe
wink.gif
and I dont like to wait.
 
took them 3 days to process my return after they received it. if you dont like to wait and have extra cash to spend on faster shipping, why not? and yes it is totaly worth it to get a 7950 or 7900 over a 7800.

so in addition to the extra 30 bucks, you're out 43 bucks for your restocking fee. Is that performance worth the extra 73 bucks? not including shipping of the card back to them and paying for shipping the new card to you.
 
yeah, nevermind. it seems you just got shanked with that 15% newegg policy. the 7900 series is much better than the 7800 series, but if you're gonna have to pay a $73 difference then it wont be worth it, at least not in my opinion

in all likelihood when all said and done, the difference would've came to > $100
 
Wow, I was unaware of the restocking fee. Yeah I dont see it worth paying $73 + shipping for it. I mean my 7800GT runs all the games out very nicely. So, Im not to worried.

Maybe you should have told them it was the wrong item and no way in hell your paying the friggin restocking fee.
NO F-ING WAY MR.NEWEGG REP.GET YOUR MANAGER.

Then you could have reorderd it through neweg.com and still gave
them your business and got more for your money. I know for a fact I've returned
stuff to Newegg and they didn't get no 15% restocking fee either.

newegg charges the fee when u do a return not simply an exchange. if they didnt charge u, u got DAMN lucky cuz on something as expensive as a mid to highend gpu, they will quickly take that restocking fee with a smile.

And they didn't even try to hit me with the restocking fee.
They would have gotten E-Bitched... Just made it up. hehe

Oh yeah, Those LCD"s sucked hard core. They both looked like shit
compared to my VX924. But hey, Soon I will get a 24" WS something.

P.S : Reminder, Don't ship expensive stuff back through the post office.
They lost one of the LCD's for 20 days and I had no insurance on them...

a 7900gt performs slightly better than a 7800gtx and consumes less power
