Going 78, what should i buy?

-_{MoW}_-Assasi · 08-25-05, 01:06 AM

Hey pplz!!!

What should i buy?

A Leadtek 7800 GTX for $770 AUD or a Leadtek 7800 GT for $645 AUD?

Or should i look around more, and which brand of 78s should i look for, im looking for best performance, when both overclocked

Edit- Probibly looking for a STASIS Icestorm or something or rather for it, and whats the best cooler for it?

Edit Again- Overclcoked as in, when both maxed out frequencies, which one is faster, and volt modded n all

GTX will always be faster, but I feel that for the price, the GT is good enough. It just depends on how much you want to spend.

Also, I prefer XFX, EVGA, and BFG for the 78 series, but others may feel differently.

I like my pny's I think I just got lucky with 2 really good overclockers.

-_{MoW}_-Assasi · 08-25-05, 04:03 AM

hmmm, but which one in paticular, any companies making special editions with better ram chips or anything?

retali8 · 08-25-05, 04:09 AM

not that I know of.

-_{MoW}_-Assasi · 08-25-05, 04:12 AM

well.. i think i can only get XFX, BFG, Leadtek and ASUS easily here, i got dealers that i know, but i dont know if i can find EVGA or PNY easily, so which one in paticular should i get?

retali8 · 08-25-05, 04:15 AM

if those are your choices I would go bfg.

-_{MoW}_-Assasi · 08-25-05, 06:11 AM

ok, i can find BFG cards plentiful at www.scorptech.com.au

-_{MoW}_-Assasi · 08-25-05, 06:14 AM

Ok, the BFG card is $985, so should i go leadtek? coz thats quite come price difference

I would.

-_{MoW}_-Assasi · 08-25-05, 06:41 AM

ok, and btw, the XFX one is $849, but why is the ASUS one so much more expensive when theres nothing special about it?

-_{MoW}_-Assasi · 08-25-05, 06:45 AM

And whats with the ASUS TOP edition? is that equipped with better ram chips or something? or just stock overclocked?

Yes get the leadtek, it is the same card. BFG makes great cards but they are way overpriced IMHO. I have a Leadtek and it is fine.

-_{MoW}_-Assasi · 08-26-05, 12:28 AM

Whats so diffenrent about the ASUS 'TOP' card? is it just equiped with a NV5 silencer and overclocked, is that it?

Hey_Its_Cole · 08-26-05, 05:26 AM

Yes, they are all the same card basicly, you wil be happy with the leadtek.

-_{MoW}_-Assasi · 08-26-05, 06:00 AM

ill be happy with any of them

PottaCoola · 08-26-05, 07:49 AM

I know im in the uk but them prices look HIGH unless its CA or AU, $975.00 for a x850xt pe thats like £450 - £500. over here there £250 and a 7800gtx is £350 for xfx model.

-_{MoW}_-Assasi · 08-27-05, 10:37 PM
