BFG GeForce 7800 GT Vs GTX

Rip_Uk · 10-03-2005, 05:25 PM

anyone know the main difference between these cards and is it worth the extra money to go for the GTX?

Rip_Uk · 10-03-2005, 10:29 PM

found out the gtx is just a quicker card. But how much quicker for the extra £100

How much of a hardcore gamer are you and what would u use it for is question. I dont have any experience with either but i think if u can afford buy it.

No its not really worth it because a GT can be OCed to about the same of a GTX.

Hardware wise,the difference is that the 7800gtx has 24 pixel pipelines while the 7800 gt has 20.
