POST HERE IF YOU ORDERED YOUR 7800gtx

[WA261]

I just ordered mine.BFG from Newegg for $636ish 2nd day. I plan to check it out untill the ATi is out..will then sell the 7800 and buy it.
Now I just have to get a damn PCI-e mobo. Guess I will just pick one up local..found a K8N Neo4-f for cheap...hope it is an ok board.

T0 see it keep up and pass the 6800Ultra SLi cracked me up!!

 

[nitromullet]

I ordered an eVGA yesterday along wth an A64 x2 4200+ from the egg. I already received the Asus A8N SLI Premium I ordered Sunday night.

 

[WA261]

I was looking at that mobo today. I dont think Iwill ever go SLi, though.

 

[otispunkmeyer]

its great when you gots tha money isnt it?

 

[BroadbandGamer]

That's the mobo I'm eyeballing real close right now.

 

[Newfie]

Ask me in about another 6 to 12 months =D

Good lord.....$600 for a video card!!??

From the guy with the watercooler, the Lian-Li V1000B, and the OCZ RAM... You're not exactly Robin Hood over there... My Chieftec Dragon case isn't a POS by any means and it serves my needs just fine, but it's not a Lian Li either. Believe me, I considered getting a Lian Li or a WaveMaster case, but opted to go for a dual core cpu instead. I prefer to spend my money on the interior of the PC not the exterior.

...so, there are only two of us so far? I imagine that we can pencil in Rollo for one (or two) 7800GTX's as well.

*cautiously raises hand*

I went ahead and ordered a BFG one from ZZF. They have it packed and will get it out today. If FedEx plays nice, it'll arrive on Friday. This is somewhat of an upgrade over the 8MB Ati PCI card (from a Dell SC400) in my X2 machine. I haven't played a 3d game since selling my Athlon system after the X2 previews 9 weeks ago.

Yeah, it was pretty much between the DFI UT nF4 SLI-DR or the Asus A8N SLI Deluxe. I had read about some issues with the cooling fan on the Asus which was making me lean towards the DFI, but when I saw that heatpipe on the Premium, I was sold... I have had 4 Asus motherboards now, hopefully I will like this one as much as the others.

 

[ryanv12]

There's no possible way I can justify spending that much for a ~30-50% increase over my 6800GT. I'm buying an X2 already though, so I'm broke

 

[Avalon]

I'd grab one of these if I had a Dell 2405fpw. Man, that would be beautiful, no?

 

[Xentropy]

I'm in for a BFG. Should arrive Tuesday. Will be quite an upgrade from my PCX5750 that I got "temporarily" planning to replace with a 6800U PCI-E last year... since PCI-E availability never really showed up last generation, and when it did it did for ABOVE MSRP (for a card that'd been out about a year, no less!), I told the 6xxx generation it could **** off. To me, $600 is pretty reasonable next to the $700 they wanted for a 6800U just a MONTH or so ago.

 

[BGuardian75]

Yeah well, the 7800 seems like a steal next to that 800 dollar BFG 512MB 6800U :uch::

 

[Stormheart]

Bought the BFG one about an hour ago, I have the Dell 2405 and Abit Fatal1ty SLI board, next will be another GTX and a dual core, then I can two box EQ on the same comp and screen. Wooot, heavens on the way

 

[imported_Ard]

You and me both, my friend. I ordered everything (and a TruePower II 550W PSU) yesterday. I'm psyched, believe me!

 

[Zenoth]

I'm waiting for the first and official R520 benchmarks. Then, I will decide. I got the money for that. But I'm patient enough.

Dont believe that motherboard you mentioned exists. Only Fatal1ty model is an NF4 Ultra with a single PCI-e slot.

 

[Schadenfroh]

i want some money

Fatal1ty SLI

NewEgg use to have it as well, for about a week or two anyhow, they had both of them, now they only carry the one with the passive cooling. I like the one with the fan, I'm married so half my hearings gone anyhow

Have 2 7800gtx evga's sitting on my desk. Waiting on the dfi sli-dr now.
