    7900GS - Beating the 7600GT for value?

    Scan (yay) have this card for £123, can anyone give me a good reason to NOT buy this? X1900GT is about £30 more & there are any comparisons yet, its pretty close to a 7900GT so obviously beats the 7600GT coming i at around £100, its gotta be worth £23 more!

    Any comments?

    It's a good card. They all are. Just choose how much you want to pay and any card at that price is good

    I wouldn't say the x1900gt is a fair bit faster, slightly yes. I'm having trouble finding one in stock for a decent price anyway!

    My LCDs max res is 1280*1024 so the best bang for buck will be the winner, might just wait for crysis to be honest!

    Scans card is now up to £129, dabs value card is the same price & is an inno3d card i think.

    Looks like some 7900GS seem to have some problems.

    Yeah, looks like so. Those card manufacturers, they never learn from their mistakes do they?
