Hurricane your system is already old as hell ;)

like i said, one card solution beats SLI
personally, im waiting for the 8xxx generation, DX10 is right around the corner
-
same here, I was close to getting a 7800GT, but i\'m gonna wait till the next go around, my 6800gt is holding up good enough for me
-
I have 4 in my rig.
-
anyone wanna buy my 256mb 7800gtx for $500?
-
I\'ll give you 20 bucks.
-
just goes to show, whenever I buy a product, they release the new version the next week.
I can\'t win... :mad:
Too bad the BFG versions go for $750 a pop. Eh, I\'ll wait for the 8 or 9 series... :/
-
nVidia releases new products every 6 months. look for a new sexed up version of the GeForce 7 in dec/jan.
-
Like anything new, it always costs shit loads. no i won\'t be buying a 512meg 7800gtx.. i\'ll get the 256meg.
I could wait till the dx10 gen cards, but then i might as well wait fo the next gen, then the next gen after that.. when will it end. :) and one of a single card always beats out one of the same type.
If i newer gen card didn\'t beat out sli of a older gen. Then you shouldn\'t be buying it to begin with.
-
Well, the problem of SLi is that it\'s superiority over any single card doesn\'t always hold up in all cases.
Some software just runs better on 1 super single card...

Oh cry me a river. Welcome to the PC World.
I paid top dollar for my 6800 a year ago and guess what? It\'s outdated now. You don\'t see me cryin\'.
This time, next year the 7800\'s will drop price and I\'ll buy one.
-
I made up my mind to always skip a generation, I don\'t need to game @ 1600x1200... as long as I can pull 1024x768 with decent framerates i\'m pretty happy.
Although F.E.A.R. really abuses my poor 6800gt :( Although not to the point where it\'s not enjoyable
-
I like crying sometimes... it gets the stress out. I\'m an every other gen guy too. So I\'ll probably be looking at a 9 series in about a year from now.
-
hehe ^ nice siggy. Usually I make fun of ppl who have pc specs there but I think you\'re kinda cute. :shy: :shy: :shy: :shy:
If you\'re not doing anything this Saturday I\'d love to treat you to a steak dinner.
-
oh no you don\'t...
my treat ;)
-
< - Just got a $500 dollar bonus from work.
Hmm...brakes for car..or 7800...
-
that one should be easy
;)
-
In about 4 years, those expensive cards will be in the bargain bin for $50.
-
in four years, we\'ll be driving flying cars and riding hoverboards down the sidewalks

if I were in your shoes I\'d do my own brakes for $80 and buy a 7800GT and a case of beer, but that\'s just me :D

That\'s the plan, my dear friend. I won\'t do it myself, but I know someone who will for about that price. Will spend the rest on a nice videocard - without tellin\' \'the female\'..
:D
She works the same place I do, so she also gets a $500 bonus. We\'ll put her\'s in the bank.
-
^evil! You better hope she doesn\'t check your browser history ;)

ha... if I actually fixed my car I wouldn\'t be able to afford other things... therefore fixing my car well... err, yeah it\'ll bite me in the arse one of these days.
