Is there any differnece between the 7900GT and 7800GT? The 7800GT are going pretty cheap on ebay.
 
The 7900GT is faster, and the delta between the 7900GT and 7800GT will widen a bit more once newer games arrive because of its 4 pipeline advantage. However, the 7900GT is going for $300-$340, while the 7800GT is going for ~$200-$240.
 
The main differences:

Code: 
7800GT              7900GT
------------------  --------------------
G70 core (110nm)    G71 core (90nm)
20 pixel pipelines  24 pixel pipelines
7 vertex shaders    8 vertex shaders
400MHz core speed   450MHz core speed
1GHz memory speed   1.32GHz memory speed

The 7900GT runs cooler and quieter with the reference cooler, and has higher overclockability. The 7800GT has VIVO and could be a better bang for the buck depending on how cheap you can get one.

Looks like it. That's the first 7900 VIVO i've seen.

It's brand new, as in yesterday brand new. I bought one yesterday. The supplies lasted about 10-15 minutes.

Actually I just noticed that's not the one I bought. I bought the faster version (550Mhz core) for $339.
