The 7900 is going to get better fps in almost every game. The 8600 has dx10 technology but few games use it and you will not see much of a performance gain when you do play those games.

Um, it's like being torn between a Corvette and a Toyota Camry. The 7900GS isn't even as nice as a 7900GT.
The 8600GT in a heartbeat!! I can't believe that price for a DirectX10 card!! :)

quite simply, go with the 8600 as it will give you direct x 10 support. The 7900 gs cannot.

the style does not be counted as its in straightforward terms a sticky label on a similar time as the OEM (unique equipment producer) is a similar that's nVidia. That mentioned, 8800 is obviously extra valuable than 8600.

How about Radeon x1950 pro. Try newegg. lowest priced one there is $145.99 and a $20 rebate= $125.99
Plus x1950 pro beats a 7900gs in most games.
