7800GT or 7900GT?

[Sniper82]

I can get a 7800GT for $100 shipped or a 7900GT for $120 shipped(used) is the performance boost enough to justify the extra $20?

sure thing.
the extra $20 won't hurt, as the 7900GT rivals the 7800GTX

Would you all say $120 shipped for a use eVGA 7900GT is a good deal or priced just right?

id say thats a pretty good deal. Im using a Asus 7900gt right now and its not bad. Been holding off on an upgrade because I cant make my mind up on what to get, but for now the card is good. Im gonna be selling mine as soon as I decide to upgrade

Yeah when I originally sold my X1800XT a few months ago that was my plan but the more I waited to more I thought its a waste since I'm wanting the upgrade to play UT3/Crysis. The likeliness of anything out now aside from high end SLI running the games the way I like are unlikely. So I've decided to go as cheap as possible that will get me by for the next 5-8 months when they should be released. By then we should see a refresh.
