7900 gs

[slein]

They are lauching a 256 mb 7900gs on http://www.woot.com for $139. I thought others might be interested since it seems to be a good price and the deal only lasts for 24 hours or until they sell out. I can't find any reviews but it seems like a good price. Any opinions on this card?

Remarked 90nm 7800GT really.........not sure if its BIOS locked or hardware cut. I'm sure we will get an early indication though. However if it does have the potential for to unlock to a 7900GT @ those prices...thats very nice.

I wish I could have bought one, but dang it. I had to spend that much today on college books. Dam college professors for wanting so much money for stupid books, I could have bought a 7900GS.
