I currently have two 6800 Ultra in SLI mode and they work great. However, they are x8 PCI-E so I will upgrade to two SLI 7800GTX with x16 sooner or later.

lol I haven't anything bad about ATI drivers since the early days of of the 8500.

Upgrading to 2 GTX's doesn't seem like a good idea considering that 1 x1900xt has the equivalent performance.

If the rumours hold true, the 7900GTX is basically a 512 7800GTX on a .9nm core. The 1900xt will destroy it in basically everything. But of course those are just rumours and we'll offically know on the 9th.

Mini update.

Subject to them not being out of stock by the time my motherboard comes back into stock;

BFG GeForce 7800GT OC 256mb PCI-E is my baby

Maybe the introduction of the 7900 will bump the price down a little! Stock of my 1Gb DDR2 (EEC) Ram is now running low, I bet that when the MB comes in there is no RAM! Typical.

p.s the 7800 GTX is already around £100 (in round figures) more than the GT OC, so I doubt I can squeeze a 7900 into the spec lol

The 7800gt is a good choice. BFG cards are good, but their customer support ain't too great from what I've heard, but it isn't bad either.

You never know though, the 7900gt might be fairly cheap. It's basically a 7800gtx with a higher clock speed I think.

Looks like you might after all go with the 7800GT OC like I did

its a great card although I think the overclocking edition sometimes adds price for no reason, since you can manually overclock them the same way.
