Your motherboard does not have the required AGP or PCI-Express slot for you to be able to add a graphics card.

It's a brand new card and might take a while till it's widely available.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Here's something: I have one guy who wants to sell a GeForce 7800GTX 256 MB for 15k. It is a box packed piece but I don't think I'll get any warranty (from HonKong). Is it a good offer? Or should I get a 7900GT (I know, my finances are suddenly high enough for this nonsense).

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

If you don't want to play games, don't spend so much just to drive a 24" display. Even a 7k 7600GS will do a really good job at that.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^ Well I just saw some Oblivion screenshots....and now I want to game real bad...

I got a good sound card, excellent speaker system, a 24 inch display coming soon....why not? Just wanted to know if it was worth it, that 7800GTX, that's all....

There's also the thing that no one wants to sell me a 6600GT pci-e card. Every guy who wants to sell one has an AGP version and the PCI-e guys decide last minute that they want to enjoy it for a few days longer....

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

There isn't much difference performance-wise between a 7800GTX and a 7900GT. If you don't mind the lack of warranty it's a pretty good buy. Keep in mind that the 7900GT will OC better and run cooler than the 7800GTX. Plus the 7800GTX uses up 2 slots while the 7900GT is a single slot card (if that's important to you).

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Druvan the cooling issue and the 2 slot factor is definitely an important factor that u have pointed out especially if u have a heavily packed Tower.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^ Any contact details? And also, what about the 7900GS? I heard that is currently the best bang for buck under $200 card available...

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Well .. the XFX 7900GS Extreme would be the best buy right now .. that card can be pushed to over 600 MHz on the core :O ... and 1400 MHz on the mem. .. over 5500 3DMarks in 3DMark06 ... its priced around $240 ...
