Well, I can tell you now that I will not be getting a new vid card for a while.

I probalby will go with SLI if I ever have the money.

But that is a big if......

Very big if....

as I start on my new system I will have either the 7800 GTX (512 ofcourse)
Or what ever comes along between now and then.

Mr_Anderson · « **Reply #377 on:** November 03, 2005, 02:03:26 PM »

With SLI, I have been hearing issues if you try to use different SLI cards. I have also heard that there has been issues between the same model, but different revision.

So you might want to save up and get two of them at once.

Sounds good to me!!

Mr_Anderson · « **Reply #381 on:** November 03, 2005, 05:15:41 PM »

I'll probably go with SLI or Crossfire in about 1-2 years. If I do, I probably will end up building another computer.

ZWarrior · « **Reply #382 on:** November 03, 2005, 06:41:10 PM »

Same here

Mr_Anderson · « **Reply #383 on:** November 03, 2005, 07:33:05 PM »

For me, if I upgraded to SLI I don't really want to get rid of the motherboard and vid card becaous they are very recent. All I would have to do is just pull out a cd drive, one hard drive, 2 gig of ram and I would just need a few things for another computer. I probably would even build my own case if I had the time.

Maybe...

It's just a little pricy for those things... but they do look comfortable!

I read about this a while ago, looks like sweet card. at this point in time I am going to hold out for my next system, and get a 7800 gtx w/ 512mb ddr3. or what ever is tops at that point. but it's a sweet looking card for sure.

Mr_Anderson · « **Reply #388 on:** November 08, 2005, 06:10:11 PM »

The way that they are comming out with these cards right now there will be somthing three more times powerful than what is out in the market.

Wolverine of Ambush! · « **Reply #389 on:** November 09, 2005, 03:05:26 PM »

very tempting

I think with the rate things are coming out and that my system is holding up right now, it is making the decision to upgrade really hard...

Mr_Anderson · « **Reply #390 on:** November 09, 2005, 04:32:15 PM »

Before upgrading, I would start going through tons of sites for the newer parts to see how they compare to the ones that are out now.

You can get a 7800 gtx w/ 512mb ddr3 today $799
at that price I,ll do sli

Mr_Anderson · « **Reply #392 on:** November 10, 2005, 10:32:40 AM »

I would still wait. But thats just me.

JollyRoger · « **Reply #393 on:** November 10, 2005, 01:20:06 PM »

No, The only reason I can't is that i have no money to do it with but, it looks like even ATI can't top the 7800 w/ there latest card. With the 512 model out it is too good. the price it good but i need a new Mobo, too.

there is an Asus board i think i want too then the processor. *sigh* but I need lots-o-money that I don'[t have.

I thought that I would point out that you can find a 7800gtx w/512 mb starting at 500. Not at 800. They do make some that costs that much, but the base price is 500.

JollyRoger · « **Reply #395 on:** November 11, 2005, 01:09:58 AM »

Well, I'm not sure about that. at least the quality. NVidia, quote MSRP starts at 800 for 7800gtx w/ 512

Mr_Anderson · « **Reply #396 on:** November 11, 2005, 12:26:18 PM »

I'm pretty sure the quality won't be that good, but I have seen them that low.

JollyRoger · « **Reply #397 on:** November 11, 2005, 02:34:47 PM »

I would rather pay a little more for something i can trust

Wolverine of Ambush! · « **Reply #398 on:** November 11, 2005, 04:13:53 PM »

I will be upgrading from a 2100+ to a 2700+ this weekend.
