Hi all ,Two years ago i bought a bfg 7800 gtoc pcie gfx card with a life warranty, two weeks ago my gfx cards overheated and stopped working, return it to Bfg and they sent me back a 8600 gtoc pcie , cause the 7800 was discontinued. I thought they would have send me a 8800. Did a got screwed , i know it is a newer model but is it performing less than the 7800 ? or should i asked for a 8800 ?

Thanks

I bench marked exact same system in my sig with a vanilla 7900 GT vs 8600 GT and there was a noticeable performance difference ....

Quote:
hmmm... well after giving MOH:A, COH, WIC and COD4 a quick go to test the performance, seems a lot better now. before I could really only run 1280x1024@low or 1024x768@med ... now I can do 1280x1024@med-high ... since this computer runs a hell of a lot cooler than my old one (comp 30-40 under load, gpu 50 under load instead of 70-80) I might actually try OCing the video card.

i'd ask for a better replacement ...

I'd expect at least an 8600gts, but wouldn't be happy with a gt..

8800 is prolly too much to expect, if you get one it would be the result of the century, even the 256meg version..
