High Res pics of my new BFG 7800GTX

Got my baby in from D & J Computer. I can't say enough great things about these guys. Great price, great communication, and great customer service. In the 2 days from ordering to delivery I exchanged almost 20 emails with them. They we're constantly updating me and keeping me in the loop on what was going on with my card. It's great to get such good customer service, especially after getting such terrible service from ZZF. A++++ Retailer!!

Ok, onto my first impressions. AMAZING CARD!!! I was having trouble running Battlefield 2 on my x800xl at 1280x960 on medium settings. I popped this baby in, and now I can run it at 1600x1200 with everything maxed and 4xAA. And it's as smooth as butter!! Also played CS: Source at 1600x1200, Max setting, 6xAA, 16xAF and was getting 70 FPS!! I've done lots of upgrading the last 10 years since I really became a computer enthusiast, but I've never seen such a jump in performance. It's just amazing being able to play pretty much any game at max settings. Ok, enough ranting. Here are some high res pics I took of the card. Before I got it, I was searching for high res pics of the card, packaging, and contents but couldn't find anything. Hope these help, and make sure you look at the little letter BFG included in the box. Pretty cool. Enjoy!!



Edit: I also scored an 8538 in 3Dmark05. Can probably get higher, but why?

So did it come with far cry in box or is that the store bonus?

I just find it amusing that you've got the most powerful desktop graphics card in the world (as of right now) in your machine, and yet your Venice is only overclocked to 2.4GHz. Even my sister's Venice is overclocked to 2.8GHz and she's a girl


P.S. Well, I did build her system myself

You didnt mention the price D & J had on this card. I suspect they will get some heavy traffic soon.

Farcry comes with the BFG 7800 GTX? I did not get that with mine? Time to call BFG and see what they say.

Exactly, I have enough for the card, just not enough for the motherboard(pci-e) and new proc.(which I would get if I upgraded)

I love my 7800GTX. I bought the XFX model. I liked the the t-shirt and the free gamepad is exellent. Finally nvidia got smart and added vivo to the top line cards. My only disapointment is the fact that we have to buy the purevideo.





My Specs:
Zalman 7700cu
Athlon 64 X2 4200+@ 2.6
ASUS A8N SLI Premium
XFX 7800GTX@500/1300(and LOVING it)
1GIG OCZ EL Platinum 3200@2-2-2-5-1T
74GIG Raptor
200GIG WD
120GIG WD
Antec True Power 2.0 550
