Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
9800pro to 7800GT you will see a huge increase especially with your machine upgrade not to mention you will have better IQ with the Nvidia 7800 GT.
Have fun with your new gear!
I have never had a problem with video drivers but then again different people have different hardware and software installed. I hope you figure this out I would like to know what's going on.
Great review guys!
I prefer the manual playthroughs and could care less about timedemos or benches in most cases.
Not sure why people say or think you have Nvidia bias but it doesn't seem to be the case especially when you have to discredit a company when it deserves it.

They aren't craptastic no but if it isn't resolved in one or two driver releases performance isn't going to get better.
This is usually the case with anything.
Oh here are some more that I as digging off the front page of [H] just to give you an idea. The overall summary or theme seems to be the XT with twice as much ram and higher clocks etc etc will outpoerform the 7800 256mb cards at times. The surprising thing is one 512mbGTX sometimes exceeding or...
Here is a nice comparison it even throws in X1800XL's as well and the XL just can't hold any weight. Crossfire may perhaps only be viable for XT owners unlike with SLI you can use whatever card you want almost which is a plus. ATI should have copied NV here the NV system is nice you can use...
I actually enjoyed your post and was enlightened to read it since it was very informative and insightful. I hope more people post such as you have done would make me happy :).
Oh please heaven help us please don't say anything like that with ATI people around please I beg you! We will drowning in a sea of posts claiming how ATI has better IQ and the same screenshot comparison posted 50 times over and over then the shimmering freaks will show up and post how nv or ati...
