The best possible deal?

What would you guys believe is the best possible deal for a graphics card at the current time. I mean the best price/performance/overclockability.

I believe it is the 7900GT from eVGA with the upgraded cooler. The cooler that cover the ram as well. I believe that card is $269 off of NewEgg and comes with a nice copper cooler which most likely you could overclock to 7900GTX spec, and the 7900GTX is a pretty damn fast card for $269...

I'd wait till the end of the weeke to see if the 7950GT will be released and who will have it at what price. For 512MB it's well worth it.

i think the x1800xt is a better deal for $200

Building on this question, I was thinking about doing an SLI setup with 2 7900GT's.....

Is the performance gain worth the extra money when going to SLI ?

That thing is long gone from everywhere. You cant find it anymore except for eBay, and not at reasonable prices. Newegg sells one though for 509.99

Yes you will notice an improvement in performance in 3dmark05/06 and in most games these days that have an SLI profile. The performance is about a 30% imrpovement...CF is much more efficient.

Yup.. I would wait too... New cards are coming out from ATI and Nvidia...
