    Sorry all 7900 GTX / 7950 cards are now End Of Life

    Possibly a good time to upgrade to the G80 cards ?

    Re: 7900gtx

    If I'm looking for a new Graphics Card that will give me good performance on games like BF 2142 what should I be looking at instead of a 7900GTX / 7950 ?

    Budget of around £250.

    Thanks

    Re: 7900gtx

    What res do you game at and what are your system specs? Also what card do you currently have?
    An x1950 Pro is still more than capable, and cheap at around £70. I have one myself and have put off upgrading yet after seeing my mates 8800GTX performance, yes its good but certainly not £350 good! I cant help thinking that once DX10 games become the norm these latest batch of cards (8800's and ATi 2900's) are going to look really weak.

    i'd say 8800gts, but is it just for games like BF2142? or is it for games that are to come as well, coz like slinger said get a ati one to play those bf games, but 8800gts will let you play games to come as well.

    Is this the unbranded version, is it any good, I heard the cooler was noisy, is it worth the extra to buy a branded one with a better cooler or is this cooler decent enough?

    Sorry I might not have explained myself clearly there. I have a x1950 Pro, but I didnt get it from Scan. I cant remember what make mine is but its near silent, much quiter than the x1900XT I had before it.

    Would like the card to be as 'future-proof' as possible. Not just for current games.

    So guessing not the ati.

    Re: 7900gtx

    I think that the 8800GTS cards are way overpriced for the 320mb versions. Pricing has hardly budged for months too. Considering that they are two slot and that the X1950 and 7950 series offer decent DX9 performance too I only hope that considerably cheaper cards with similiar performance come in the next few months.

    200 quid is still alot of money for most people to spend to get decent DX10 performance.

    When are good 100-140 quid DX10 cards ever going to appear?

    Whay do all the good cards need a nuclear power plant levels of power and cooling too??

    because they've been designing them to be more powerful and not more efficient as well, they need to copy the cpu's, plus graphics cards have always been expensive. i rememeber the 6800gt's.

    Re: 7900gtx

    The newest cards are not so good in DX10 mode, scoring few fps. When dx10 become more common than there will be more choice of GPU to support it, thats my opinion
