Is anyone running a 7800GS? Think about giving one to my kid brother.

Re: Is anyone running a 7800GS? Think about giving one to my kid brother.

I'm running e-vga's 7800 GS CO and it whups ass compared to my 9600XT.

Running everything on high and 4xAA on 1152*864 with no hiccups at all.

Just make sure that he can spare one connector from his psu to connect to the vid card and nothing else.

e-vga's 7800 GS CO is faster than BFG's 7800 at the moment. Plus e-vga has an even faster 7800 called the GS CO Superclocked.

Their trade up offer is also pretty sweet.

My specs

AMD XP 2600+ Barton @ 2.01MHz
MSI K7N2 Delta-L
Antec 1000 Plusview AMG case
ThermalTake True Power 420 Watt PSU
Dual Western Digital Caviar 7200 RPM 120 GB HDs
Corsair 1024 PC 3200 DDR 400 RAM
Kingston 256 x 2 PC 3200 DDR 400 RAM
Samsung 16x DVD-ROM/RW
LG 52x32x52
eVGA e-GeForce 7800 GS CO 256MB GDDR3 (441/1.34)

Well I just recently went with the BFG version. I was stunned to find out that I could over clock this baby to 551mhz and 1490GHZ memory. I rolled it back just slightly to 531 and 1430 (in my sig) I had heard that many e-VGA versions were having DOA problems. So I stayed away from them, glad I did.

I was just about to plunk down $1200 for new MoBo/CPU/Fan/PSU and Hard drives. Now that I am retireing from the military and going to school full time I think I need to wait on this big purchase.

I am going to save my $$$ for an AM2 system with DX10 video card in about a year. This card with my system plays BF2 very nicely. For $300.00 instead of a complete system upgrade, you can't beat it.
