XFX Geforce 7800 GT Got it! :D

[Jegor]

Heya guys first off i wanna say Greetings!
Im new on this board so be gentle to me

Anyways today i went to my local shop because i saw that the First 7800 GT's had arrived in The Netherlands. I went to the fast REALLY fast and bought a XFX Geforce 7800 GT Because im building a computer. The video card costs 450 Euro's and is OC'ed out of the box.
I made a couple of pictures of the board, but unfortanetly can't test it yet because this Videocard is the only part i got yet for building my computer.
The XFX edition comes with Far Cry , Moto GP 2, and X2: The Threat. Not really impressive but hey.
Well here are the pics:





For those who are interested in what my further system will be here is what im planning to buy:

-Asus A8N-SLI DDR400 PCI-E*2 LAN 1394 Motherboard(Already bought)
-AMD Athlon 64 3500+ or 3800+ dont know yet(what you guys think?)
-1 or 2 GB Corsair PC 3200 C2 Memory(what shall i take 1 or 2 GB?)
-Raptor 36GB SATA 10,000 RPM plus some hard drives what i already have.

So what do you guys think? This system is around the 1000 Euro's.
If any of you guys want i can make pics of specific parts of the XFX 7800 GT.

So whats the difference between XFX and the Dual 7800's i have.

[GameWizard]

XFX is a brand.

N/M. Its 400/1000 out of the box. Its amazing what you find on google.

-AMD Athlon 64 3500+ or 3800+ dont know yet(what you guys think?)
-1 or 2 GB Corsair PC 3200 C2 Memory(what shall i take 1 or 2 GB?

get the best as u can man. nice vid card. i am stuck wit this crappy one. any ways, get 2GB of RAM. THT IS A MUST. ur 1GB MIGHT hold ur vid card back from playing high. my friend has a 1GB x850 and cant play on high. has to play custom settings. also get the AMD Athlon 64 3800+. then when u play any game. u can play on ULTRA HIGH. where is ur sound card. get a audigy 2 ZS. then u will have a DREAM MACHINE. have fun.

[Homie]

Yeah, I got a 6600 gt and I can't play on high because it uses more then 1 gb of ram so now eventually i gotta upgrade to 2 gb of ram.

[Jegor]

Yes you guys quite right about the Ram, quess I will have to buy it, is a Audio Card really worth the extra $$? Because on my old machine i used to play with my motherboard integrated sound card(AC'97).
I was just thinking which processor to get because im not rich( just have been saving money for four years) I read that AMD Athlon 3500+ Venice core overclocks VERY well to 3800+ speeds so thinking maybe its not worth the money?

Another question BTW , maybe should i save some money by removing the SATA hard drive for my list? Or does it really affect performance that much that it is worth the 150 Euro's(170 Dollars).

N/M. Its 400/1000 out of the box

Thats the stock clock speeds for 7800 GT , XFX Cards are at 450/1050

Anyways thanks for the replies guys!

EDIT: Just read this:

single GeForce 7800 GT delivered a gaming experience that was not too dissimilar to a reference clocked GeForce 7800 GTX. We were able to play the game at the same settings; the average frame rate was very similar to what was achieved on the reference GeForce 7800 GTX, with the minimum frame rate a mere five frames per second slower than the flagship part.

No, you can't play on high because the 6600 gt is a subpar card.

[Jegor]

how much is 1000 euros?

1242 USD

[Death Merchant]

dont get the athlon 3500+ it will just bottleneck the card

get the 3800
if you cant afford that get the 3700 (you could overclock this 2.2-2.4 to make it a 4000+

also only get the 1gig ram first if your not happy get more

and nice card im thinking of gettin one myself
