thinking of buying a 7900gt

Hello I am new here

What do you all think of the evga 7900gt cards I will just get one for now let me know what you think

I have the eVGA 7900 GT CO, and it hasn't crapped out on me once. I've had it for about 2 months. I'd go for the KO version because it has a cooler over the memory. Also, today it was in the high 90's, and my computer is outside. If it were to go out, then it would have done it today.

EDIT: Nevermind about the KO. A couple of threads down said they've been dying. :/

Wait few more weeks till all the bad cards are gone from the circulation. And yes 7900GT is a good card.

This is the new fixed version. Theres also a KO version but I linked this one because of the $20 rebate and free Hitman game. If you wan't to volt mod you obviously won't need a KO heatsink anyways.

I have the 7900GT CO SuperClocked, and they still haven't gotten SuperClocked replacements in yet, so my RMA has been active for awhile (4 weeks), just make sure to get the fixed version with the new SKU's and your good to go.

Check sig for settings. They are great cards. I've had mine ~3 weeks and not a single hitch. This is one of the best, if not the best, card for its price. I was going to wait till DX10 to buy a new card, but it'll be awhile until regular people can afford them after they come out and even longer till a game that really utilizes it.

That's what I was going to do, but I don't know if they'll be compatible with current systems. And if they aren't, whether or not I'm going to bother with something like Vista as I'd have to get an entirely new PC.

Unless it says Infineon on the RAM, then its NOT fixed version.
