Gainward 7800gt 512MB GLH or ATI X1800GTO

[Clint]

I'm in the process of finding a good "bangforbuck" GFX.
I have my eyes on both the Gainward 7800gt 512MB GLH and the upcoming
ATI X1800GTO.

Wich of those cards to you think will be the best banger for the bucker?

thanx!

hmm dunno but we are doing a review on the 7800gt 512mb its a good card (not the glh) but the price of the 7900gt now makes it a not so good card

metro the 7800gt 512mb we have is the Goes Like Hell edition... is way faster than a normal 7800gt in par with 7800gtx if you oc a little but better go 7900gt for 300 bucks that is BANG FOR BUCK

For that Price Range My vote is for 7900GT
The X1800GTO goes head to head with the 7600GT, so if you had to choose between those two The 7800GT hands down but a 7900GT would be a better choice...

The 512mb isnt really gonna help you in most games.
Id say spend the 300$ on a 7900GT.

Hmm, from what I've heard the 7900gt doesn't perform that much better than the 7800gt.
That 512MB will come in handy sooner or later.

Any specific brand of the 7900gt that is known to be a bettter OC'er due to better cooling and such?

Alrighty then, how about this one:

Seems like a good card to me, and their rep is also good from what I've learned.
Any thoughts fellas?:)

Good RMA policy and the upgrade option is wonderful.. pretty good pick man..

Nice to hear!:D

..now if I only could get this over to Sweden in a fashionable manner..
I refuse to pay 25% tax on it, kinda ruins the "happyshopperfeeling".

clint there is only one way to do that you have to send it to someone in the us that you know and he send it you li ke a gift no price so you wont pay taxes ;)

also the 7900gt is 24 pipes clocked higher and faster than 7800gtx i dont know where you hear the 7800 and 7900gt were similar :S

[Clint]

Thanks for input:)
Yup, after some research I came to my senses and decided to go with the 7900gt.

I'm lucky enough to have a good fella on this here board who is helping me out;)
Big thanks fly out to that person:toast:
