If he bought an eVGA 7800GT then there's nothing to make fun of because he can trade it in.

6800GT is still hanging tough too ... I've been waiting for the 7900's though so the end is near!

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

Uh...I'm seeing $285 vs $299

weird. i saw the 7800gt at like 285 with a $20 rebate and the 7900gt at like 349 or around there when i looked.

X800XT FTW. With the exception of CSS, I play everything at 1280x1024 with everything on as far as it'll go, and it runs beautifully. Compared to the 9800Pro I was on before it's simply amazing, I still get a tear in my eye.

word. PLaying HL2 I have to bump up all the details otherwise the framerate is too high. This is with the same card and on a lowly 3.0 ghz p4.

When the current crop of uber fast cards hits $100, then I will upgrade.
