It's getting harder and harder to actually find a 7900 GT in the shops, so this is set to replace rather than complement the 7900 GT. Considering the minimal negative performance impact of removing the four pipelines, this is still a choice card at an excellent price point. The only reason you'd want to fork out the extra money for a 7900 GT is if you were looking for a second one to pair up with your current card. And if you are – I would do it now while you still can.
There is no doubt this is a good card and is cheaper than the X1900GT competitor. However, if it was my money, I'd be waiting to read my X1950 Pro review as preliminary testing shows it to be a good performer.
