Last night I ordered a BFG 7600GT on NewEgg for $145 with free shipping and a $30 MIR. Today I see BestBuy has a PNY 7900GS for $150. So here I sit, wondering if I pulled the trigger a few hours too soon. The price difference, after tax and rebate, is about $45. Not a small amount. Considering that I'm coming from integrated graphics, I know that either will be a major improvement for the games I play, like Q4 and FEAR. I will be building a new box in '07 after the new DX10 cards settle down. Right now, I'm just looking for something to hold me over.

I'm thinking I'm going to keep the 7600GT and forget the 7900GS. Just looking for opinions on if I'm a total idiot on this logic.

Thanks for everything you guys do on this forum. You've taught me a lot. Later.

7900gs owns the 7600gt... You should have gotten that instead if it was only few bucks more..
 
Cancel your newegg order and get the 7900GS. Otherwise, well, you'll be kicking yourself for awhile.
 
Sorry dude, but that's the truth :(
Good luck if you attempt to cancel your Egg order for the Best Buy 7900GS.
 
I took everyones advice and purchased the 7900GS from BB. I'll send the 7600GT back to NewEgg and eat whatever fees I occur. Be worth it in the long run.

Thanks for the good advice...
 
Sorry to hear that. See if they did not shipped the card or it is still in transit. If it is transit cancel the order and send the card back with the same delivery guy. I think newegg will not charge you any fee.
