Well done Space1Monkey Im happy for you, you do seem a deserving winner. I just wanna say thanks to PETEvsDRM for his generosity and that i think that it was a brilliant thing to do out of the goodness of your heart.

congrats to space1monkey, great to see the card go to someone deserving.

And thanks PETEvsDRM for such a great deed, its absolutely brilliant to see such kindness, oh and an overall great thread 😀
 
Congratulations spacemonkey, and you're a generous person Pete.

I thought i might apply with my personal 3200+ athlon xp, 9600xt, 1 GB ram (my family computer has a PCI-X slot I could have used), but I realized there are people here more needy than me.

So congratulations, and if anyone decides to do this again, I might have to apply :).
 
Im living in Malaysia, and a 8800gtx card cost us around RM2000 back here which is very expensive compared to United States which is around $600 if im not mistaken. My current ATI X1600 DDR2 fails me in in most of the game when i am running 1280x1024 resolution since i bought my 19" ViewSonic 2ms monitor and i am very frustrated about it. I dont mind paying the shipment and i hope that you will be kind enough to send it to me and i can place my current graphic card to my girlfriend's pc as the graphic card she is using i borrowed from my friend. Thanks a lot, may god bless good person like you in think world.
 
Thanks for all the congrats folks, I appreciate it. Again all props to PETEvsDRM.

What power supply do you have pictured there? If it is not enough for the 7900GT, I'm sure one of us here can get you one.

In one of the pics I posted, you can see just at the top, it says 430W upside down. I know this is borderline with a 7900, but I only have a small hard drive, a dvd player and an old floppy drive hooked up. I don't plan to be running any SLI obviously and the rails should be up to it (I checked before posting my bid for this card). I think it will stand up to it.

I used to run a P4, 3 HDDs, 2 opticals, 5 fans, and a GF7800 off a 430W PSU with no trouble. I think the 7900s are actually a little more efficient than the 7800s, and the AMD is more efficient than a P4, so you've got a good shot. Good luck and enjoy the card.
 
Well, the 7900 arrived yesterday, installed it tonight. Here are a few quick benches for comparison.

I ran 3dmark05 and an older Aquamark3 (I know it's old, but don't have time to be downloading anything right now).

6600GT results:
3DMARK05:Total=3482
AQUAMark:Total=45273

7900GT results:
3DMARK05:Total=7247
AQUAMark:Total=68904

I'm thinking that is a dramatic improvement. Thanks again Pete.

WOW, that is AWESOME! And you said that FEAR is oh-so-much sweeter now? HAH. Congratulations again, for the billionth time. Enjoy the card!

Mikala p.s. my boyfriend plays wow or whatever its called and it would help that to i think.
