eVGA e-GeForce 7800GT

Looking to buy one, but I can't seem to find any in stock, so I thought I'd see if you folks can fare any better. I see the usa version of this card ships with BF2 and a life time warrenty. Does anyone know of this title being bundled over here and is the warrenty standard on all current evga cards in the uk?

Edit: just found one at: http://www.overclock.co.uk/customer/...roductid=19034 quite cheap. Is this company ok? I'm assuming the PCI-X is Express?

Is the http://www.overclock.co.uk/customer/...roductid=19033 worth the extra?

I have used overclock a few times (not to be confused with overclockers, who are incompetant fools IMO)...they seem ok.

As for PCI-X.....I find it hard to beleive that some professional sales staff still do not know PCI-E (Express) and PCI-X are NOT the same. PCI-X is pretty dead and only used on some server boards.

That board is PCI-E.

Thanks shaithis, and for confirming my suspicions, I thought as much with the PCI-X.

Ok heres the prices at the mo:

The 256Mb Gigabyte PCI-E GV-NX78T256V-B 7800GT (256bit) ViVo 2xDVI SLi Ready, is good value with scan @ £204.92 inc vat

This week at Overclockers
The Leadtek GeForce 7800GT 256MB GDDR3 VIVO TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (GX-069-LT) @£211.44 inc vat

The 256MB XFX PCI-E *Extreme* GF7800GT *450 Core 1.05Ghz Mem* (256bit) ViVo 2xDVI scan @244.39 inc vat

The 256MB Leadtek WinFast 7800GT Extreme (450MHz) MyVIVO DDR3 PCI-E scan @249.68 inc vat

My question is, whats my best bang per buck GF 7800 GT at the moment? If I can oc the gigabyte to *450 Core 1.05Ghz Mem* with maybe a new cooler thats potentialy £50 saved right? I'd like some nice freebies in the package all for £250 max :cool: Anything I'm missing guys before I part with that hard earned cash?

Best bang per buck is the cheapest one. Even the non-extreme ones are incredibly fast and likely to be overclockable on top.

Id go for either the first link from overclock, or the one from scan.
