Yea they got a weak oc out of their 7600GT (less than most PCI ones), unless the AGP version is just gimped or the leadtek hsf sucks too much, and a good oc out of the 7800gs (more than the one in your sig.) But look at the GAME benchmarks - last time I checked no one plays 3DMark and it's too bad they only did 3DM05 and not even 06 at oc'd speeds. Going by only one benchmark is a bad idea especially when it's a synthetic one. In actual games I bet that the difference at oc'd speed would be anywhere from a few FPS at most to a tie based on the game tests.
I also get the feeling the OP isn't into used or recert stuff but that might be wrong, if not then a used 6800gs would be the best price/performance, and a recert 7800gs the absolute best by a small margin. But the recert 7800gs is above his price point, even the 7600GT is a bit above with shipping. It seems to be on perpetual backorder from Newegg and other places after the initial shipment though I bet they didn't anticipate the demand for it.
