Balancing price and performance with so many different video cards on the market isn't easy. That 7900 was no doubt a nicely powerful card for its price tag. I see nVidia just released their 9600s. When the initial release surge settles down, those will probably become the new price to 'oomph' sweet spot. I read a couple of sites benchmarks and that card seems to be a good choice for any game based on the new unreal engine. I don't know if I made a fiscally responsible decision for the card in my new rig, but I couldn't be much more pleased with the performance. I bought a G92 8800 GTS (an MSI, BTW). It really doesn't have much advantage over the G92 8800 GT if the GT is overclocked... just a few extra stream processors. I could have saved 75 bucks or so, I think. But, now I'm playing Crysis @ 1680X1050 with AA and I don't have to tweek my video card to do it. If any other titles come along in the next year that have the same kind of system requirments, I may end up deciding I made the better choice.
