This seems like a very good deal? am I correct?

as i'm debating what card to buy, any thoughts on a 7900 GS BFG OC card?
at 143 GBP

depends which on you need use the intercative gaphics charts to find out the preformance difference http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/graphics/charts.html that should help.

Problem is I cant find the 7900 GS on Toms hardware so i'm a bit stuck with that. not sure if there are any other solid benchmarks out there??

Hi,

This seems like a very good deal? am I correct?

It is!!
I've just ordered one myself yesterday.

It's in essence a GTX with slower memory, but the same 1.1ns RAM chips like on the original GTX are used.
Based on knowledge from a german hardware forum it should be no problem to clock the RAM @ 800Mhz. And even if you're very unlucky and don't get the RAM up to 800Mhz you still get a card that has a very quiet and efficient heatsink and beats any other 7900 series card except the GTX.

Here's a review of the card: http://www.tomshardware.com/2006/09/14/the_geforce_7900gs_is_nvidias_new_mid-range/

It seems like a decent card. I have the 7900GT and have been very happy with it, though you might want to look at an X1900XT if you can find it for not too much more.

That's not the card he linked; the card he linked is the new 7900GTO. It's basically a 7900GTX with the memory clocked at a lower speed, while the core speed remains intact.
