I was thinking about getting another 7900GT to complement the one i have now. The one i have now is an XFX 7900GT 1.5mhz/520 i was looking at TG and they got another XFX 7900GT(NON-OCed version) for only 190$(50 mail in rebate) or they have one for 229$(no mail in) shipping will cost 11 so good deal or no? i also saw that newegg has them on sale for 200(50 mail in) but they charge tax +shipping whereas Tigerdirect only charges shipping. With 8800GTX around the corner is it worth it? to buy another and wait out DX10 till all the hype is over and prices(along with the cards) become stable.

EDIT: just checkout zipzoomfly they have the same card to retailing for 229(40 mail in rebate, so 190$) and they dont charge tax or shipping.

If you can get a secoind card for cheao - say a used 7900 GT fior $150 or so, it might be worth it.

Otherwise, for over $200 you nmight be better off with asingle X1950 XT when they arrive at retail allowing you to sell your old card - or maybe waiting out the new Dx10 cards.

Your 7900 GT should serve you well for a while yet.
