7950gt vs. 7900gtx vs. sli'd 7600gt

evga 7600gt sli'd was the original plan, however just picked up a 7900gtx at a pretty good price, thought i'd throw the 7950gt in there since price new is comparable to what i paid for the 7900gtx.

thoughts on this comparison, both stock and slightly oc'd on air?

At stock, 7900GTX is faster than both the SLI and the 7950GT.7950GT and 7600GT SLI should perform similar.

overclocking potential on these cards? i currently have my 7600gt oc'd to 600/750 with a zalman 700 installed. i think i'm going to be selling my 7600gt's (one still sealed new in box) and keeping the 7900gtx

from what i've read, the 7900gtx stock cooler is the way to go, no aftermarket cooler for it is significantly better. i certainly hope so with the size of that thing.

I would keep the 7900GTX too. It's a much better card.
