have you received your 7900GT yet from OCUK ?

Seeing the price of that GPU is upsetting me. I paid £200 for a 6800gt a few months ago and the system is still not up and running.

EDIT: Do you think it would be worth my time selling and upgrading?

Nice...

Finty, Maybe try and sell it on ebay and buy one? Or try and stick with it untill DX10 Cards come out?

He He He. I might get that. Downside is that this month old pc seems ot be running slower. May be the fact that the washingmachine my dad uses shakes the entire house. Or it could be my imagination and bloatware. Either way I need a new GFX card.
