    Availlable from Overclockers UK

    Just wondering is anyone planning to buy either a GTS or a GTX any time soon?

    Newegg also has it, although they don't have the subselections refined to find it very easily on there (there for, it's really hard to search for.)

    no 7800 wasn't really cool 4 months back, it was the 7900(since it performed ebtter for less money).

    a year back it was cool though pretty good yes, but if you're buying straqight out, you'de have to eb a retard.


    and it's been well known that the GeForce 8800 would be released in this time frame. Mor or less someone who doesn't know shid would be surprised by this.

    In most game benchmarks(dx9) the 7950gx2 performs <10fps less gtx... from what i've read. Still not worth in my opinion, this card.

    i've seen the opposite. two 7900GTXs in SLi outperform a 7950GX2 and this card outperforms the 7900 GTXs in SLI by a moderate(albiet not huge) margin

    £600 is for the watercooled Oc'd version :P a standard GTS is only :-)P) costing around £370 ish atm.

    It beats the GX2 by quite a bit in benchmarks, but theres is not point buying the card yet a while... DX10 wont be taken advantage of until Vista (7th of Jan 07) or til DX10 games start coming out, like Crysis. Also hopefully prices might drop a bit :).

    so im holding out with my 7800GT til i can afford an 8800GTX and make use of it.
