Not sure about a year later, maybe close to 18 months. My two 7800GTXs will outpace a 7900GTX single setup, and that was the card that replaced mine originally.

the 7900 was just a refresh though, if you look at each new generation of cards it holds true. the x1800 > x850 crossfire / 6800ultra sli. 8800gtx > x1950 crossfire / 7900gtx sli.

True enough. But wouldn't you say that new generations come out once every two years roughly?

Edit: Probably more like 18 months having a look at it.

I would have said, new card - 6 months later refresh with speed bump - then months later again refresh with more pipelines, faster core and memory clock - then later a new gen card.

i think thats about right?
