Prices on the X1800XTs better fall soon or I'm gonna KILL. Well maybe not but you get the idea.

But the memory is much more powerful on the 7900s... and the core is 90nm...
Not missing much, but enough to be worked up about... but hey, that's what you get when you go high-end all the time. You're always aware that it won't be high-end for long.

Guys, I dont know too much about this, but it seems like a really good deal. Is this pny better than the $350 evga 7800gt with the free mobo? For $60 less it seems like an awesome deal. When did the 79's come out? Are these cards the direct-x 10's? From what you can see in my sig, could I support this card? And lastly, could I cool this thing ok with air? I don't plan to OC or water cool any time soon.

value is in the eye of the beholder. if your 7800gt plays everything you want at decent settings, then theres no need to upgrade. the 6800gt kept its 'value' longer because they didnt release anything newer. nvidia couldve kept developing the 79xx series and got 32pipes on it but they wanted it released sooner to compete with the x19xx series. it does kind of suck that they are debuting the 7900GT for the same price as the 7800gt but thats what ebay is for. you lose maybe $30 after ebay and paypal fees and overall price vs. a brand new one and then you pay the difference for the new card.

I bought a 7800GT a week ago from Newegg but they're letting me RMA it back with $25 off of restocking fee if I bought the 7900 version. I said sure and upgraded to the GTX version of the 7900. Works good for me.
