I have the 7900gs and would say its a great card for the money, stick with BFG graphics cards and down load Riva tuner v 2.0 RC 16.2 and try to unlock more pipelines and set the core/memory clock to optimum, just watch your temps, anything over ~60-65C is bad for the graphics card. My temps are good, CPU stays at ~42-44C at 75% load and the graphics card creeps up to 60C and stays there.

Yeah it's about having more videocard power for new games. Has anyone seen the videos of the new Crysis game? FUCKING AMAZING, it will be the best game of the next year or two. Hands down. If you want to play any of these games with nice details you're going to need a DX10 card. If you're just interested in Half Life 2 and Counter-Strike or World of WarCrack then a 7900GS will be fine. I have a highly overclocked 7900GS in my laptop right now and play HL2 in 1900x1200 just fine.

The nuke at the end of the video blew my mind, no other game has come close to details like this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGQ8OobkWio

Wow that looks better then HL2's engine. Not bad not bad. I'll get the DX10 cards. Hope the price comes down on them. Spendy cards I say.

Holy shit that game looks kick ass! Wonder what the Min. Req.'s are for that?! I totally want to build my machine to play that now aside from webdesign.

I'm a fellow nerd building a new pc as well. Just bought Sonata II case from newegg and am building it more and more as the cash allows.

What would a card cost to run that Crysis game?! Omg that is sweet.
