The e-GeForce 7800GS CO Superclocked is another of its heavily overclocked models. The core speed of the card is 460MHz, an impressive leap of 85MHz over the standard core, while the memory speed has been tweaked 75MHz and now runs at 675MHz (1.35GHz effective).

All of which means it's the fastest AGP card to date; 6,304 in 3DMark05 at 1,024 x 768 resolution and real life game frame rates of 90fps, 62.45fps and 48fps in Doom 3, Far Cry and Half Life 2 respectively.>

sounds awsome dunno if its worth upgrading from my 6800GT 256mb card but i sounds sweet. Umart has them for $549XFX GeForce 7800GS 256MB DDR3 8xAGP (overclocked)

do it and sell me your 68

I know I'm enjoying the performance of my BFG 7800GS an this is $40 cheaper than mine!

Shame they f***ed it up by not having Dual DVI ports.

Also, you linked to the umart store thanks to their framed website.

i have a 3ghz p4 + 9700pro
would it be smarter to get one of these or a 7900gt + x2 4000+ and motherboard ?

Getting a high end AGP is a cheap alternative to getting new mobo, ram an schtuff
And you do get a distintive increase in FPS from a 9700 pro to these cards (I went from a 9800 pro as well)

Good solid cheap upgrade

Shame they f***ed it up by not having Dual DVI ports.

What cards _do_ have dual DVI?

What cards _do_ have dual DVI?

I bought my 6800 ultra when they first came out and it has dual DVI. I saw the advantage of either two DVI based LCD’s or sticking with two VGA based analogue screens if you want dual displays. Almost seams pointless to put a DVI and a VGA port on the one card if DVI-I can address both situations.

My work computer has a nvidia 5200 that has Dual DVI, my before mentioned 6800 Ultra, There's one or two 6600gt floating around, good number of 7800 GTX's. So there is quite a range of cards from budget ones (my 5200 was dirt f***ing cheap) to the very high end, and the ATI camp have a few kicking around too.

And yes, I do realise that using two screens is the minority :)

Sure is, sifn't not use 3 screens thesedays

you need 4 screens and 3 cats DUH

How bout a big fish tank?
It's full of slick graceful things that like to kill and eat stuff AND it has a shiny surface =)

how good are the XFX cards? are the BFG ones better? i honestly haven't had any experience with either brand. i know the BFG cards are pritty good but i dont know much about XFX anyone able to offer an opinion.

AGP still has some juice left and thats why im getting one to replace my R9700Pro coz otherwise id have to upgrade my mobo.

I'm getting the standard non-OCd one tho. Still has twice the pixel and vertex shaders and twice the memory bandwidth so Oblivion should be run way better.

hey awesome, just as I'm looking for a decent video card. I was going to upgrate the whole system & go pci-e but methinks this card should tide me over a little while longer

yea me to whoop been thinking bout upgrading for a while but cant afford a new system..but this card should take care of my fix for a while....well untill i can afford the full upgarde :)

^
^^
That's why I did it an I'm not complaining either =)
Can get avg 60 fps on BF2 @ 1280 x 1024 with high details now, no sweat!

This could be a good option for my next upgrade. But would my AMD 2800+ be too much of a bottleneck?
