7800 GT w/ BF2 or X800XL

[socalcaz]

Alright so I am narrowing down which video card to get and I have a bit of a dilema.

I am thinking of getting this X800XL card:

But I still need to buy BF2 which would tack another $50 to the price (total $333).

I could get this 7800 GT with BF2 for $409:

What do you think? I have the money but I would like to be economical. Thanks!

Well not only is the 7800 GT better but it comes with BF2.

So more economical/bang for your buck = 7800 GT.

Look for a 7800 GTX that comes with BF2 that would even be better.

Well considering the fact Nvidia is often recommended by most games i say go with the 7800GT and that solves half the problems you'll ever have :)

I say you should wait it out for a couple weeks and get the 7800GTX. It's more money but it's worth it and by that time it should drop a couple bucks so it would be cheaper. The difference is 4 pxel pipelines but when the games become more graphic hungrey you will really find out how god that investment was. Trust me it's worth it

My money would be on the GTX, they're on sale now(well they are in the UK) and you wouldn't be compromising either.

Well I decided on the 7800 GT, I guess my stomach hunger beat out my graphics hunger...mmmmm Chipotle I actually wanted to spend $100 less than I did so I made a compromise. Thanks for the advice dudes!
