Just came back from Newegg.com and I saw some of those for as low as $299!

They look tempting!

My problem is this:
A 7900GS should do me just fine for a while. I don't intend on upgrading to Vista any time soon. But, that upgrade will be more of a pain if I have to upgrade my card as well. Honestly, I'm sick of upgrading all the time. It's very tempting to just get a 8800GTS (640MB) and be done with it. It's also much more expensive.

The more I think about it, scratch it. I'll just get a nice 7900GS and be done with it for a while. Better cards always come out later anyway.

*drooling*

This looks like the card to get. By the time there are games demanding enough that you'll need it and/or Vista/DX10 are worth using, the price ought to be real nice.

Although who knows, maybe the 640mb version will be cheapies by then too.

Why in the nine hells are cards still having less than 512 mb memory? My single 6800 GS has 512 mb memory and i bought that more than a year ago. Loading times seem to be hugely impacted by amount of memory, even in lower resolutions like 1280 * 1024, where you have maxed out textures and everything else.

So why even bother with selling a 8800gts with 320mb memory when you have more than a year old 6800gs having 512 mb?

Looks crippled to me.

With 640MB cards going at $350 after rebate, who the heck wants one of these?
