    The OC'd eVGA looks to be a great deal....approximately GTX512 performance from a $360 card!

    Evga $319.. I think it is worth the extra $20 because I don't trust PNY...

    i read alot of horror stoys about PNy RMA.
    i got a 7800GT frome m so i had a few changes made in my bill from the webshop that they would fully take care of RMA and substitute a broken product.
    atm its running 490/1200 max stabile clocks are 510/1260.

    I can tell the many horror stories about PNY RMA but I have a couple of Kick ass RMA stories about MSI... Strange considering that MSI makes PNY's graphics cards..

    i only bought the PNY cause it was 280 were all other 7800GTs were 300 back then and the store i got it from has their own rma.

    i knew MSI made PNY cards but seems PNY runs their own RMA.
    MSI also makes graphics cards for creative ive heard their RMA also sux so.

    The 7900GT looks to be a great card, but the cooler looks crappy as.

    My dad's going to use the eVGA stepup program and exchange his 7800GT for a 7900GT. Also, does anyone know if the nV Silencer 5 Rev. 3 fits the new 7900GT's?

    Well I don't know what planet you're on. I've had an NV5 Silencer rev.3 on my 7800GTX 256MB and it worked better than my Zalman Fatal1ty VF-7.

    Anyways, back on topic. You guys notice how the prices on the cards keep going up and down? Quite interesting.

    I cannot beleive the 7900gt is only 299 that is crazy the 7800gt still cost 350 at a lot of retail stores. I think this means its about time for the x1900xt to drop considerably in price.
    Current Setup:
    -9850 GX2's in Quad SLI config
    -Asus P5N32-SLI MB
    -2x512mb of PC2-5300 DDR2
    -Intel Celeron D OC'd to 3.2Ghz
    -Windows Me with XP theme
    -WD Caviar 20GB Hard Drive
    -Zip drive
    -Jazz drive
    -3.5" floppy drive
    -5.25" floppy drive
