Yeah they stopped making the 7800's when the 7900's were released, only ones left will be the ones still in stock at retailors, if you can find any.

i ws lookin for 2 in sli bit later in the year
me not happy now. i can see me never geting sli
Tbh in most cases SLI isn't worth it, if you want more power, flog the card you have and put that money towards getting the fastest single card around, it will be less noisey, draw a lot less power, put out less heat and probably give nearly the same performance.

two 7800 GTX will destroy a single 7900 GT in sli.
but the bug is established.
sell the 7800 GTX and get a 7900 and sli later
I seem to hear the advise, SLI it later, but each time I go to do just that it ends up being cheaper and better to flog the old card and buy 1 new next gen card. Unless you can afford 2 x gfx cards at one time I dont see the point anymore (can you tell I'm miffed at not being able to get hold of an XFX 7800GT Extreme Edition?!?!?)

Definitely agree with that.
I think SLI is good for first time buyers... i.e. when you're purchasing a system with dual card setup straight away. I personally will never go SLI - one reason because it's ultra expensive (1 high-end card cost a bomb as it is)... and the next generation single card is often newer technology and performs near enough what 2 older cards would... plus it holds its value better. Just my opinion. I prefer upgrading from mid-range card to mid-range card... though I can't really class my 7900GT as mid-range. easyrider said:sell the 7800 GTX and get a 7900 and sli later
that was my plan when i had a 6800 to sli 2 7800s
i will then get a 7900 and wait to sli an something new will come out an i will jus be stuck buying a single card every time

Yup when DX10 G80 comes out you'll have to be quick in getting another 7900 for SLi as they will be ceased as well when that happens, Jan time i think.
