Why? X1900's are very good cards especially for the current prices.
So, whats to feel sorry for? 7900GTX is in no way shape or form going to own a X1900XTX. It will compete very well with it, but that's as far as it goes.

I think you don't have to. The guy will probably get four 7900 GTX 512's once quad SLI boards are out... and four G80's two months afterwads

I dont!!!!!!!! if they were lucky enough to be eager enough to buy it early and sell it later...they made some money off it!.
The ones that bought it later for the gian markup are just plaing (expletive)!

Holy hell I need SLI now.

How does the 7600GT compare to 6800GS / 7800GT? Price/Performance right in between? Am I asking too early to know?

With the prices they've mentioned, I think going with an SLI 7900GT would be a much better option than a single 7900GTX. What do you guys think?

Yeah I'd take 7900gts in SLI over 7900GTX anyday.
Considering the price is so close and the gains will be so much bigger.
Well actually thats all to be seen until the actual cards come out.
Speaking of that anyone got a nice date when they should be readily available?

I guess it could be but we'll have to wait and see when benchmarks show up. The reason I think SLI'd 7900GTs might not be that much better than a 7900GTX is just looking at the last gen cards. SLI'd 7800GTs weren't a lot faster than a 512MB 7800GTX. And SLI'd 256MB 7800 GTXs (which are basically equivalent to SLI'd 7900GTs) weren't that much faster than SLI'd 7800GTs. So if you add 100-150MHz (depending on the vendor) to the core speed of the 512MB 7800GTX, than I don't see the 7900GTs being that much faster. Faster yes, but not a huge difference. Plus, if rumor is correct, and the 7900GT is $300 and the 7900GTX is $500, you'll have to spend an extra $100 to get the GTs.

It was a much more tempting proposition when it was $150 cheaper to get a pair of 7800GTs than a 512MB 7800GTX.

Yea but um hello overclocking.....something tells me these cards will OC like the dickens even with a single slot cooler.....i mean even if you could get the core up to 525 on two of them you'd definitely be helping your performance out. At least thats my thought. We just have to wait about a week to find out.

 

[SkylinGTR26]

ahh, so around a week and these bad boys will be selling. I wanna grab one right away.
Ive got that feeling to DeathBUA, Ive got the crazy videocard overclocking madness feeling in my stomach for these new 7900s. Ill snatch one the first day they come out hopefully.

Yeah but keep in mind core isn't everything, you need the bandwidth to feed it as well. If the cards come with some cheap-o 1.4ns ram then they won't be worth buying. Also for us XTX owners like me and Elfear that can OC our cards to 750/870+, these GT's need to at least hit 600 mhz/650 mhz for it to be worth it.

Not everyone HAS to have insano top of the line, personally if these things OC past 550 and the mem can goto at least 1400 I'll be sold on it in terms of price>perf. I dont need the biggest e-wee-wee to go slonging along to everyone. And personally I could give a rat's behind if I'm 5 fps behind you in FEAR or COD2 or whatever.

You just put up the same criteria I did so what's the point you're trying to make again? I said 600/650 and you said 550+/700...lol. Keep in mind these cards at stock are nothing more than 7800 GTX 256 cards so unless they can break 600/650 mhz they won't be worth getting in SLI over an OC'd XTX.

the inquirer?? LOL.

If your defintion of worth is having the biggest e-penis on the web...then I guess I'll go drop my next paycheck on an XT.

And as far as what they'll do....honestly no one knows for certain until about 10 reputable sites benchmark these and until consumers, you, me whoever get their hands on them. If these 7900GT's really go for 299US and they OC good and stay within 5%-10% of a 1900XT at that much lower of a price...well people will be all over that like white on rice...and I say that with fanboisms aside

 

[SkylinGTR26]

im gonna do the guess work for everyone here....
Okay the 7900gts will have 1.2ns ram and you will be able to get them well past stock to 700+/700+
Thats all the guess work now everyone believe me....

Yeah... i was jokin but yeah anyway we still need to know that mem and i hope they are 1.2ns. I know those 90nm cores will oc like crazzy tho.

Lol, if that is do'able on air cooling I'll buy you one

I have a feeling these wont get to near the GTX version speeds.
Nvidia arent stupid, they are well aware if that was the case, most people would go for GT's over the more expensive, and no doubt more profitable (for Nvidia) GTX.

 

[SkylinGTR26]

yep no doubtin that...
Im still gettin a 7900gt and if anything ill tell u guys what it can do.
Trust me...
