    which is best

     
    well im soon to build a new com. i know the 7800gtx will be better then the 7800gt, but would it be much better ? is it it worth the extra leap of £80ish ?
    ill have 1.5gb of ram in the new com, and the cpu is yet to be decided

    Personally I would spend the extra $$$ on a better CPU...

    a 7800gt will kick butt in any game I am sure right now (my 6800gt does)...

    all depends on your budget.. I personally would go with a AMD 3500 939 Venice core (to start) and a good sli motherboard.

    is the difference between the x800 pro and 7800gt worth the cost ?
