    Paper launch of the NVidia 7800 on Wednesday, apparently. Goodness knows when actual cards will reach retailers, though.

      OCUK claim they'll have stock for sale the day after the launch on the 21st.

        one thing i do know they will cost a fortune (they always do) and they probably will not give a huge a performance increase as i would like

        will they be in agp and pci express?

          I think PCI Express only, and cost is going to be at least ?400 for the top end card - possibly ?450 upwards.

            ocuk will have stock soon as they have a deal with nvidia to get them first in the uk.

                      How much would a half-decent SLI Mobo cost? I'm thinking about buying a reasonably priced SLI GFX card to begin, and then getting another when I get more money...

                      ...Anything I should know? Any huge flaws in my plan?

                        two 6800 gt's is the way to go until the next "BIG LEAP" in graphics technology, just make sure you have a minimum 3800+ amd 64 and even at that you'd probably want an overclock.


                        i have the asus nf4 sli deluxe, and its a great mobo.

                          the dfi nforce4 sli are probably the best motherboards out for amd

                            Just saw some benchmarks for the 7800 to be honest i am not impressed at all 10-20fps extra for some games like doom 3 very little change for many other games like half life 2 defintely getting a x850 when it comes down in price

                              Got custom pc mag today, had a feature on the 7800. In todays games offers very little increase if any in fact in many games X850 is faster but in future games and Chronicles of Ridduck on that ridiculous shader 2.0++ setting is up to 95% faster than an Ultra . Way of the future but not needed now especially at ?440 +
