Just upgraded to this card from a 7800 GT. I could overclock it to the 7900 GTX clockspeeds and the benchmarks were pretty same. Talk abt $400+ card performance for half the price...None of the stores have it though as it was a limited release from Nvidia before their 8800 hit the market

I have a 7900GT and its great but why spend that much now when the DX10 cards will be comming down in price soon?? Personally I would have stayed with the 7800GT for now Smile

There are no significant DX10 titles. Who's to say the 8800 won't perform to it's current price tag once they start coming out?

I have a 7900GTO and am very happy with it. Sure it isn't a 8800gtx. but then again I didn't pay through the roof for the card. It will do nicely until the 8800gtx gets cheaper and the dx10 games are more common. So for the next year or two, this will do.

hehe no. I had a 9800XT, so for me it was quite a leap in performance.
