- Game settings that choked my old card (GeForce FX5950 Ultra 256MB) to 5fps now go at tolerable 20fps with this card, while my computer's 3DMark05 score with the old card was 1262 (LOL!) and flew up to 5457 when the BFG GeForce 7800 was swapped into the system. With the old card, my comp was in the basement at the 9th percentile among 277,000+ systems tested, and went to the 57th percentile overall. It was in the top 10% of P4 systems. Basically, the GeForce 7800 took my old system as high as an AGP/P4 system can go.No compatability issues so far (3 weeks of use) on 15 or so games. I'm pleased that I can run games such as Oblivion, Guild Wars, Eve, and FlightSim at detail settings that are satisfying.BFG…
- I upgraded my August 2003 Alienware computer from a 256mB GeForce FX 5900 Ultra to this card based upon more than one recommendation that this was the fastests AGP card made. Even though though this means that the technology is still old in terms of currently available products. Once the PCI-e standard became established, and eventually SLI technology became the mainstay, AGP products quickly became the dinosaurs of PC technology. While I still feel there is still some get and and go in my old mule of a PC, this change of video standards made my PC virtually obsolete. There is little chance I can get a lot more use out of it, when this is the last stop on the upgrade trail.Still, I am surprised…
