Or this one? Keep in mind im only running an Athlon 2500+XP with an Asus A7V8X-X mobo and only 512 DDR.

I have a GeForce 4 Ti 4200 now and cant even run BF2. So I want something that will kick the shit out of any game.
Thx if anyone can give me any technical advice.

Buy whatever is cheaper. The cards wont be worth half the price in a couple years. They'll both last a long thing though. My 9800XT was $500 when it first came out and now its like $250. It's AGP but it can still handle most games on high settings.

i would say the nvidia cause later on you can buy another one if its SLI and if your mobos SLI and thats pretty much the best GPU you can get ur dirty little hands on now, ive heard nothing butt good things about the 7800, but then again.... i havent done any research on any ATI cards lately cause in my opinion nvidia has won the latest battle

Ok, if ur AGP, the best card u can get is the X850XT Platinium Edition.

If PCIExpress, Between those 2 cards, The 7800GTX is REALLY better then the X1800XT. You can SLI it with another card if u want one later.

I would recommend the 7800GTX because the R520 (X1800XT) is not so great about it.

and for battlefeild u def want the 7800 trust me its going to look crazy, it looks crazy on my friends computer and he only has 2 6800s not even the 7800

wait flash are they both the same price? cause if they are get the radeon man that shit spanks the 7800 bigger core and memory clock speeds and its a 512

The radeon is a little bit more. And yeah looks like your right about the clock speed and memory.
But what about the SLI with the 7800?
I don't even know what it is. Sounds like it allows you to run multiple cards?

sli is buying another vid card and having them both work together. so its like spending twice as much money :P but if u dont wanna drop that much cash u can buy the second vid card in a few years when you cant play Doom 6 on high settings :D

lol doom 6 well yeah basicly its what brian said oh and check out shit from http://pcstats.com they have like 8 page long reports on any piece of hardware u could think of. they give benchmarks of that piece and compare it to others too

B) THX

its the least i could do, im happy for ya since ur gunna buy new hardware

B) now wheres my license plate frame

Oh damn, I forgot :rolleyes:
And I promised you too.
Ok coming soon.

LOL....what was i supposed to put on it again?

B) i dunno sumthin purdy and shiny yet lethal and ownage

put flowers on it then there could be thorns and that would be the leathal part

http://theinquirer.net/?article=26720

Perfect point made, these two companies are basicly the same shit. Your an idiot if you argue that one is better than the other.

Cool....GeForce it is then.
Little bit cheaper :P

That's another really great card. They have that one in PCI xpress and AGP.

If you want to save a couple bucks and get somethin just below the x850 then this might be for you.

But if you got the cash you might as well go for the whole tamale

BFG 7800 GTX OC is the best 7800 made besides the 512 mb models.
If you want to argue look it up first ;) It clocks higher and has a lfietime warranty.

We are showing him cheaper yet good alternitives for vid cards. Not everyone wants to spend that kind of dough on a damn vid card for a video game.

Hey flash i recomend you go to http://pcstats.com and http://newegg.com and read about the card you want before you buy it.

;) yep, I have been.
Found more info then I'll ever need or be able to take in :P

Just gotta get my wife her eliptical machine for her Birthday and then the 7800 will be my next purchase B)
