Came out today, and you won't find it cheaper than at Newegg, not even on ebay.

Blah, SLi is the thing of the past. Outdated by the Quad SLi. IS it just me or having a Gig of VRAM just seem wrong.

Nice Fuse!  What processor do you have on your system?  I've been told your processor speed can dramatically make a difference on the output of the vid card.  I have a 6800GT, which i have noticed a huge difference between it and my old one but people say its my 2.6ghz thats slowing down the vpu.  (If thats totally bogus, then please someone give me some links to tweak or help make it work better!)

That would be Rorin...I'll have to speak to him and ask him why he is no longer in.

heh, well if it past by you, that's the first GForce 7xxx Series chip on an AGP interface for those of us not able/wanting to upgrade thier mobo/processor to PCIx.

I have a 3.2 P4 with 2 gig of ram.

That's what made the card so special, its an AGP 7800.....

I dont have to shell out a extra hundred for a PCI express mobo and go through the hassles of putting it together.  Great find Fuse!

I know eventually AGP is going to be a thing of the past but I dont want to upgrade that just yet if I dont have to.

I'm trying my best to wait for a PCIe mobo to match when I can get a 64bit processor.

bY THE WAY, i ENDED UP GETTING THAT bfg VERSION, BUT 10 MINUTES LATER KICKED MYSELF. tHE Evga ONES ARE CLOCKED ....

*Edit*Sorry for caps, I'm working on mainframe.....*edit*

The eVGA ones are clocked higher than that BFG one.
Nvidia clock - 375 (i think)
BFG clock - 400
one of the eVGA Superclocked - 460


You can OC the BFG to at least 495, and up to 1.41 on the memory though.

OK, I overclocked this thing to 490, had very small, yet consistent visual anomallies, so backed it down to 480 core and 1.4 memory and it's smooth as butter.

I can't beleive how well this is performing. Better than the X850XT PE!!!!!
