You dont have to...If you already have a decent AGP rig that was missing that special magic for gaming and graphics visual quality...this is the thread for you!
I dont know if many of you recall my thread about building a PC from an old laptop that I had?
P4 3.4Ghz Northwood with HT
1 GB Patriot Signature RAM
250GB Maxtor 16MB Cache 7200 rpm HDD
128 MB evga 6600GT
256 MB BFG 7800 GS OC (new)
20.1" Samsung 204T LCD panel
X-Fi Extreme Music in Gaming mode
BFG released the 7800 GS OC this morning and I just *HAD* to try it out to see what the difference would be. The NDA was lifted this morning and Best Buy had 3 of them on the store shelves. I was in at 10:00 and there were 2 left. I picked one up...came back at 10:30 and they were all gone!!
Came home, installed it and the X-Fi, added a 250GB HDD over the 2 x 60GB notebook drives...started playing CS:S, HL2, GTA...
The performance?
In a word - ASTOUNDING!!
If you want to experience modern gaming performance without throwing away your old AGP rig - GET THIS GPU NOW!!
The 7800GS is a LOT bigger than the 6600GT in terms of physical size, cost and performance. I can play HL2 at 1600x1200 with FULL HDR and full detail!! STUNNING!!
I have a $2000.00 rig being built in California right now...will I really need it?
If this system can blow me away...imagine what that one will do to my poor senses...
