August 26, 200619 yr My ATI 9600 XT 128mb 4xAGP always boots and runs BF2 okay. It gives same fps in game with similar pc as Tiger's 256 mb card below. TigerHawk's Nvidia 5200 256 mb 4xagp doesn't always boot, needing reset button sometimes many times. I think it needs 3.3v agp slot but she has 1.5v agp slot.
September 22, 200619 yr Nvidia EVGA 7800 GT PCIe 256 Mb After I bought mine the 7900 series came out like two months later :thumbsup: I was going to go with ATi X800 initially but since my motherboard has a nForce4 chipset I decided that I better go with Nvidia plus I didn't know if ATi Crossfire would work on an nForce chipset. I run 2 7800gt's in SLI What kind of performance do you get? I was thinking of getting a second 7800 GT and running in SLi then upgrading my processor to an AMD X2. On the otherhand I could just trade in my 7800 GT and buy a 7950 GTX *drools*
September 22, 200619 yr After I bought mine the 7900 series came out like two months later :thumbsup: Same thing happened to me and I just used the step up program through evga, only had to pay 49.00 for the upgrade to 7900 GT KO
September 22, 200619 yr Same thing happened to me and I just used the step up program through evga, only had to pay 49.00 for the upgrade to 7900 GT KO Are you telling me I can upgrade to a 7900 GT for only $50? The only thing I forgot to mention is mine is a 7800 GT OC, it comes pre-overclocked and has a copper heatsink.
September 22, 200619 yr Are you telling me I can upgrade to a 7900 GT for only $50? The only thing I forgot to mention is mine is a 7800 GT OC, it comes pre-overclocked and has a copper heatsink. yes only if you bought an e-vga, but you only have 90 days from when you purchased the 7800 to upgrade so it may be too late for you now :thumbsup: . I bought a evga 7800 GT about 2 months before the 7900 was out, then you register it online and request a step-up. Then you send them your 7800 and they send you the 7900 and you only pay the difference. So I paid 350.00CAD for my 7800 and the 7900 was 350.00USD so I basicly only paid the exchange rate plus shipping.
September 22, 200619 yr I have an ATI Radeon 9800 Pro XT 256M. I have been very happy with the performance of the card, but I plan on going with NVIDIA for my next Graphics card because their technology seems to be a tad bit ahead of ATI. Not to mention, Battlefield games are made to run better on NVIDIA cards.
September 23, 200619 yr Since this was originally posted, I have upgraded from a ATI X850PRO to a PCI Express BFG NVIDIA GeForce 7900GT OC I noticed a huge difference, but it is also a much better card.
September 23, 200619 yr BFG??? I mean nice upgrade but they usally cost a CRAZY amount over say eVGA or XFX. And yeah, you'll notice the differnce. Good for you dude. :thumbsup: Welcome to the club. I had one of their cards a long time ago, I had a problem with it and I called them and asked them if I was still in warranty, they told me it was warrantied for life, I said how long is that? thinking it was pro rated or something, and they said no its for LIFE. So they sent me a new card and I sent them the old one after I received the new one. BFG is a good in my book.

One of the reasons I went with eVGA is because they have a reputation for having a very flexible warranty, they also have a lifetime warranty like BFG. I'm also very satisfied with my eVGA 7800 GT OC, it performs well and runs cool, in HL2 I can get framerates as high as 120+ stock with all the options maxed out and thats not even in SLi mode!
September 23, 200619 yr Just ordered my next card! Damn thing was ONLY available at TigerDirect and I knew the price wasn't going to be dropping on that card anytime soon which means the card is selling. YIKES. I didn't want to mess around with the differing cards though the drivers can handle it these days. The 520Mhz rated chip is better than the 450 and 470 which many at Guru3d.com can attest to. But I'm going to wait till my Bday to open it, the 4th. Cool, what did you order?
September 23, 200619 yr Wow, thats just sick,<<meaning owesome performance, how can you handle the power bill. :thumbsup:
