Possibly, but what about the single card price?

Is this available in North America?

anyone know if you get the same results with the evga variant? or is this MSI having too many 7900gtx's laying around and rebranding them as 7900gto's?

I ordered the EVGA, so I'll find out soon.

The specs for the card look identical for both though.

I am wondering if it can be run in SLi with my current 7900GTX? Has anyone tried yet. I am not against doing a volt mod to get the clocks where they need to be.

omg, i just bought 2 of the evga one's. these seem to be the best bang for the buck out there now. i dont even think ill need to flash to gtx (the evga may not be able to anyways).

i was trying to hold off, but this seemed like a nice upgrade from my PM @ 2.4 and x800xt.... e6600, 2x7900gto, 2gb gskill pc6400.

Is there any difference between GTO and GTX BIOS other than voltages?

I'd like to know this too - I'm in the same boat as afireinside. I'd prefer to just overclock my eVGA 7900GTO that is on the way rather than flash the BIOS. I am planning on sending it in on the step up program and worry that the different BIOS could negate the program.

What are you stepping up to... already :lol:

I don't want to flash GTX BIOS as that will put me in GTX class on ORB. I'm vmodding anyway so if it's just voltage who cares.

Well - I am sorta expecting that the G80 will release about 48 hours after I get my 7900 GTO installed, LOL! Isn't that how it always goes? I didn't want to spring for a 7950GX2 or a 1950XTX right before the DX10 cards came available but I needed something decent to drive me @ 1680x1050 until the next gen cards show up. I'd like for this card to clock up to 7900GTX levels and that would do the trick.

well for dx10 cards to work fully dont we HAVE to have vista? im not going vista in a while . i dont want to pay alot of money and i want it to work out the kinks first. so dx9 will be fine for me unless im mistaken.

I'd agree with everything you just said - and then if Vista releases in 1st quarter next year and there is a killer game that I can't live without I'll be right there on the bleeding edge.

Also - as is usually the case, the next gen cards will run DX9 better than then current cards AND will be future proof *sorta*. Basically, everyone will be rushing out to get the latest and greatest and will be trying to catch up with me. Wish I could be more patient

I don't see the point on buying an expensive gfx with DX10 before you have a DX10 game to play.

That's why I bought a 7900gto :p:

I haven't seen anyone clock 900 on these mems yet... but if it's 1.1ns then why not?
It should do 900 right? :confused:

I'll tell you what's XTREME...

Caving in and buying the second card against my wife's wishes!

Oh well, love is temporary, but graphics are forever!

It could be the GPU's mem controller holding them back.

i like msi more than evga because evga products have tendencys to blow (7900gt)
msi stuff is hardy... too bad there arnt 7900gto msi here in america... we have evga 7900gtos
i guess ill jump for this
i mean, coolaler had 7k '06
that is insane... for one card
two would mean almost 14k!!!
i guess ill go for this instead of x1900xt or anything else
now to wait untill it gets down to 199... (Im a poor teenager with no job)

I get mine tomorrow, but I won't have it running until the weekend. I expect the card to be the same as the MSI.
