thats a lot of work for a net gain that is rumored to be no more than 10%, wait for benchies to see if it is really worth it

And that's 10% over the 512MB 7800GTX. If rumor is correct your X1900XT will be as fast or faster than the 7900GTX anyway. Seems like a lot of work for a card that will probably perform slower unless you just play Chronicles of Riddick.

Wait until 7900 actually come out... if its still 24 pipes, it might be slower than 1900..

Whatcha got to lose. Try to get $550 on ebay, there's fools there who buy xbox360 cardboard boxes for $810. Hell, maybe you'll luck out and get a whole $600.

If you pull it off, you'll have the cash for the 7900GTX if it's good, another X1900XT if it's not.
