Got the BFG 7800GS OC to replace my 9800 pro and its terrible if not worse
System spec
NF7-S 2.0
XP1700 @ 200*12
1GB Twinmos 2.5-3-3-8
461W Enermax PSU
I have the nForce 2 drivers installed
I found that forceware 81.98 did not recognise the 7800GS so I used the drivers on the CD, this was terrible, I got 487 in 3D mark 2006
I then updated to forceware 83.60 and they would install but seemed to give only mediocre performance. I did manage 2844 in 3D mark 06
Games performance still seems to suck, Far Cry is much worse @ 1024x768 and HL2 is only faster if I disable all the new affects.
Is this just a driver issue? What do people recommend driver wise for 7800GS cards – I’m honestly thinking of getting rid and going back to my 9800pro and saving the £240
