Buy it, and will they do quantities? An ARSE vid card syndicate.

Sounds like something is wrong with it, it's too cheap. It worths more than twice as much, Close to three times.

yeah, WAAAY too cheap, im looking at buying a XFX 7800GT video card (the model underneath the one you are looking at) and they are about 550, the one you are looking at is around 750-800 bucks online...

This is through Multimedia Technologies, which sell at wholesale prices to registered computer businesses.
A mate of mine has his own business, so he gets these things quite cheap.
They are new,nothing wrong, even courier it to me for $7.00. But you need to get someone who runs a business to order.

So it's a good card?

What sorta performance you get from your 6600 Steve? Coz i can get one of them even cheaper.

if you can get a 7800gtx for that price, forget the 6600 mate....
spend the extra (its not that much anyway) and have a great card, rather than a good card.

Get the 7800 and it will last another PC upgrade, the 6600 wont.

No AGP 7800 cards as far as i know, norbs. At least, not the high end ones. To go beyond a 6800 Ultra/X850XT now you have to get PCIE.

7800GS is AGP. Hard OCP review

Post by **norbs** » Mon Feb 13, 2006 5:23 pm

Barge, how much for an AGP 7800GS please.

Barge · Post by **Barge** » Mon Feb 13, 2006 5:40 pm

The 7800GT is a PCIexpress. My problem now is that i don't have a PCIexpress compatible MB goddamnit!!
Gotta ask my supplier (

) about the 7800GS AGP. Hold yer horses.
First let me explain that the $260.00 is HIS buying price. He is tacking on GST 10%, his charge of 5% and a $7 delivery to my door charge, which is optional. I will fork out $310.00. Hopefully he can give me a good price on the motherboard. But then I might need to upgrade my CPU and RAM. Geez I hate computers.

nicko..i reckon the 6600GT is great. I mean unless you want uber gaming performance, it should suffice. LFS sits around 60FPS fine (i use Vsync) and most new games run fine at high detail (some need to chock it down a little)

i usually don't play games anymore...so i don't need crazy hardware.

I have the XFX7800GTX, have had for almost 3 months now. Only downside from my point of view is it took me about 20 minutes to figure out how to open the very weirdly shaped box

. Im pretty sure XFX is associated with Kingmax somehow.

Yes the 6600GT is good (love mine), but if you can get a XFX GeForce 7800GTX 256mg for so bloody cheap, don't even bother with getting a 6600GT!!
