7900 GT: Just Another 7800 GTX?
Rather than clutter up our performance tests with a full set of numbers from another card, we decided to sum up its performance first. As we saw in our card comparison charts, the 7900 GT has specifications nearly identical to the 7800 GTX. Here we take a look at the stock 7800 GTX vs. the stock 7900 GT. There are plenty of overclocked 7800 GTX cards around that will either perform exactly like or very slightly higher than the 7900 GT. But as our performance tests at 1920x1440 clearly show, the 7900 GT only marginally edges out the stock 7800 GTX in performance.
In the following performance tests, we included the 7800 GTX 512 in order to compare the performance improvement the 7900 GTX offers over the previous flagship. For a comparison between the original 7800 GTX and the 7900 GTX, simply imagine that the 7900 GT has a different label.

Wow. I guess I am getting old. Just what are they trying to do with all the GS GT, XL, XLT nomenclature. And I build my own systems.....tuteja1986 - Thursday, March 9, 2006 - link
lol :)I just saw the x1800gto score they beat the 7600GT almost every test. http://www.guru3d.com/article/Videocards/325/">http://www.guru3d.com/article/Videocards/325/
Now its time to see the price ; ) lets see how far the prices of these cards can go :)

And oh by the way it looks like the 7600 GT does quite good against the X1800 GTO with less then half the die size to boot and only a 128Bit Memory Interface.http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/nvidia_geforce...">http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/nvi...geforce_...

Can you please show me what you saw I don't see the 7600 GT tested against the X1800 GTO period. It's only tested against the X1800 XL.
