i know this has been asked 100 times, and i hope i haven't asked it before, but how does this compare to a Radeon X850XT? is it worth the upgrade?

see for your self...and for that price I would say yes...sell your old card and break even!

I think you meant this link, as yours took me to a 7950 comparison. The comparison still favors the 7900gs, but less so than the 7950 comparison.

:thumbsup: Very nice
 
This is soooo depressing... I think I'll have to buy one. 😕

What I -want- is a silent-pipe 8600GTS, but it -should- be priced nearer $100 OR should have twice its current throughput with its current price. Framerate-wise: an (8600GTS @ ~$190) == 3/4 x (7900GS @ $106) Until nVidia has more competition, I guess they'll gouge us (given the lame throughput) on their 8500/8600 products.

Guess I'll give up on waiting for a decent DX10/HD-offloading/silent card and bite on this great deal. Thanks OP.
 
Yeah I had the same idea Basilisk... and depending how noisy this is I may get a aftermarket cooler...

the truth is that this card will hold me over until SC2 is out - and I will buy whatever card will play that game at the max details xD
 
i called the 1-877-688-7678 number.

CSR Said they should have more in in a week, He said if you buy now it will lock you in to getting one.

He also said rebate was good until July postmark.

EDIT:

Frys in Webster, Texas said they are $199.00 in store.
I forgot to ask if they had a rebate.

Rebate shows postmarked no later than 7-5-07.

Got in on this. Anyone know of a quiet aftermarket cooler that won't cost a bundle that will still allow this card to fit in one slot instead of two?

Yeah, but the rebate says it must be purchased by 6/5/07. The Fry's receipt will show the purchase date as the day they ship, because that's the day when they charge your card. I would expect BFG to deny the rebate.

That's a miss-parsing of his question: he doesn't want to REDUCE the card from two to one slots, he wants a replacement HS/fan that will keep it at one slot but be quieter (or more effective?). I'm interested in the same replacement (presuming my 7900GS ever arrives).

I don't know of any add-ons that won't require a second slot, but that's because I'm an ignorant slut who's only looked at Zalman's. I've never seen/used an Arctic Cooling NV Silencer 6 Rev. 2 VGA Cooler, but I get the impression (from its picture) that it wastes a second slot as well.

So I second the original question....
