Top of the range

What is the top dog in the Nvidia Geforce range?

 

[lynx6200]

7800 I think, or the 700 series at least.

Lol yeah. It right now is the GeForce 7800, you can pick one up for, say, a years salary.

he he, a good guide but not definative, depends on the needs of the user
the 7800gtx is the current latest offering by nvidia. A great pixel pounder though it is, it's the quadro fx4000 that hold the top price tag by a long way, yet it's more orientated toward high end workstations and professional graphics rather than gaming.

geek.com has refurbished FX4000's for $1302, new for $1764.08...

the 7800gtx not the fx4000 is where your credit should go. Its ok to go into debt for such a good card, just remember your not going into debt you just helping to stave off a recession
the 7800 is here

Having 2 6800GT's and a Athlon 64 3800+ only requires 400W. Having one 6800GT only requires around 350W.

 

[Modoman]

i know where to get the 7800gtx for a shade under $500.. and now there is the 7800gt, which has the same awesomely powerful chip but costs $400 somethin

What costs the most and what is the best can be two different things. Furthermore, "best for what"?

Umm...not according to asus.

Yes but ASUS is plain wierd.
