I think it was replaced by the 7900GT. When the 7900GT came out, the 7900 and 7800 were very similar in price. (I think I read an article saying that the 7900 was a lot cheaper to produce due to the 90nm construction or something like that). Within a month or so, you couldn't find very many 7800's anywhere. Obviously, most online retailers wouldn't stock the 7800xx anymore because most people would just buy the 7900xx.

Just my thoughts.
