Which one should I buy ?
Web site has eVGA 7800 GT on sale for 3 different prices
ranging from about $289 to $469. Which one should I buy ? Also, is the nVidia 7950 going to be as good as the 8200 ? Or should I wait for the 8255 ? What if I just took my 6800 and painted over the number with 8900? Would that make my card faster, or open up 40 pipes? :-) johns |

yea that would work but you also need to tape icecubes to the heatsink due
to all that extra heat from the paint job as for opening up all 40 pipes its hit and miss it and depends on the paint you use to turn the 6800 into a 8900. then your going to have problems with power so get a heavy duty car battery and some jumper cables just clamp them on anywhere you see metal contacts on the card. stand back a few feet that fan is really gona be spinning and may throw dust and dirt in your face. if this dont work you must have one of the few bad cards so get out you bank card and order a new card and try again.
