Anybody know what sorta voltage they're giving this thing? If it's still stock, you can consider me sold.

Yeah Id say so, if you look at the pic of the back of the pcb on newegg......it has black caps on the points where you would vmod a regular 7900GT. It looks like it has the same cooler as my 7900GT KO though, so your prob. better off just getting the KO and vmodding that.
Though I am wondering if they might have fixed the problem with the voltage regulators that alot of EVGA cards have been having........

Depending on your flavor of green or red, you can get into a 1900XT for 4 more bucks:

X1900XT would be slower.

Hell no! Plus the X1900 XT prolly have much more room for OC than the 7900GT which is already VERY OCed.

The 7900GT at 600mhz and 1600mhz mem will be faster in the majority of games, guaranteed.
And X1900XT's usually have pretty low headroom anyhow, it's the XTX's that really go high under the right circumstances.

And? Gain nothing? Yup. 
I've owned an XT and an XTX. XT's are binned as XT's because their cores and/or memory aren't as good as the XTX's. Atleast, for the most part, there are always exceptions.

I think I'd personally rather get an XFX XXX edition 7900GT for like $340 and just do volt mod. Those things run at 550core with stock volts.
