GFX Card Dilema

[Neil-UKWSD]

Hi,

I decided as part of my new system to order the XFX 7900GTX XXX Edition card, however it would appear that this card is like gold dust from reading some of the posts on various forums.

I'm considering maybe changing this for the XFX 7950GX2 XXX Edition, however the mobo (Intel D975XBXLKR) I have ordered will only support this card with the 1073 or above BIOS from looking at the info on the Nvidia website.

Until I get all the parts I won't know what BIOS revision is on the mobo and am hazarding a guess that I will not be able to flash the BIOS if needed without an alternate GFX card (I don't have an alternate card to use for this).

Can anyone offer any advice before I make a final decision?

Hi,

Having just had an order update giving an ETA of 23/06 for the XFX 7900GTX XXX Edition I'm now unsure what to do. The CPU I ordered has the same ETA so I will be waiting for that to come anyway.

Dilema over, decision made...

Card swapped over on order, now awaits CPU coming back into stock so order can be shipped (oh and deciding again on which PSU as removed the Seasonic S12 600W from my order to ponder over a little longer).
