I'm waiting until he wakes up to have a laugh at his expense. 😛

Edit: The package hasn't even arrived yet.
 
Refuse shipment.

And he was an idiot to order a 7800 with so much 7900 info available (including the launch date).

No.. I am sure he is making fun of his roomate for waiting this long to buy the 7800GT and finding out that the 7900GT is out.
 
And I'm not saying it's a bad card, it just that he can get more for the same money today, so he'll prolly have to go through the hassle of returning it.
 
same price? he saved himself about $100 according to Newegg.

i haven't looked at the specs of a 7900gt but it can't be that much mor epowerful to warrant an extra $100

i compared an EVGA 7800GT and EVGA 7900GT

The difference is about $10-20. A person would be a fool to ignore the 7900GT and buy a 7800GT right now.

It's similar to what we saw a few months ago with the 7800GT versus the 6800GT - you could get a 6800GT for $300 or a 7800GT for $300...common sense would dictate you would go for the 7800GT.

 
I bought my 7800GT in December, going to use EVGA's step up to make it a 7900GT, if the pricing is right, should cost me abuot $20.
 
With 3 day shipping, once they are back in stock, coming out to $29 to do the step up, since I paid $285 for my old card, and going to the $299 card.
 
Well, once the geeks all upgrade in a few weeks here, used 7800GTs will be flooding the market here and eBay, so its a great time to go SLI.

One sold here today for $200 shipped.

Even a great time to upgrade to a 7800GT since it is now a really fast second tier card, soon to be selling for <$200
