Another video card question

underworld288 · 06-14-2006, 09:28 PM

I was looking at this card here and I was wonder which would be better that or the 7800GT, because that card (the one in the link) is more expensive then some 7800GT cards and it has high core/memory clocks.

oh, i have another question also is the 7900GT's really as bad as they say.

7800gs is the agp version of the 7800gt, and it's not as good (16pipelines vs 20 pipelines).

7900gt's are better than 7800gt's, i don't know what they're saying, but i haven't heard much bad things about it.

i heard that peaple had trouble installing the drivers or something like that, and I was just wondering about the 7800GS because of its price/clock speeds (i knew that the pixelpipelines werent as good).

nah, pixelpipelines makes more of a difference here than clock speeds for the 7800gs and the 7800gt.

agreed. barely though. ive never really looked at 7800gs benchmarks... but im sure the 7800gt is SLIGHTLY better... mostly because it supports PCI-E though.. and the extra pipelines. if you have an AGP slot though, its definitely a nice alternative way to save money. 7900gt bad? HA no the 7900gt is really good... i have the 7900gtx and its amazing.. but im sure a 7900gt will run anything on high with respectable FPS because i had a 7800gt and that did as well.
