Where can I find a Nvidea Geforce 7900 or 7950 GPUs online?

Question

No. I'm not interested in Crysis so please don't recommend me buying DirectX 10 cards and I don't like ATI. I want to get this card 'cause the games I play are DirectX 9 ones. I tried Amazon.com but all they had was 7300GS & 7600GS. I'm not interested in buying one in Ebay.com because auction is just not my cup of tea.

Answer 1

Here's the Pricewatch.com listing for Nvidia 7900.

Answer 2

Oh wow. This was the general value gamer consencsus before the new(ish) G92 chips came out back around February and sent the 8800-series prices down REALLY fast to where they're now mainstream cards. The new G92/G94 is much faster than even a 7900 or 7950, and they cost less than the 7900-series did when it left the market for good about six months back. Trust me, even if you could get one of those new, you don't want one. Not because you (or I) need DX10, but really, because they'd offer poor performance for the money.

Instead:

Radeon HD3850- 60$ at Newegg (drivers have radically improved in last six months that you've been gone and timewarped. No, really. I was down on ATI too until they started making a serious commitment to Linux OSS leading to improvements that have been carried over to the Windows driver set. Plus, you should be using Omega drivers, anyway :D)

8800GS/9600GSO. Sister cards to each other, they're just somewhat crippled 8800GT G92-tech cards. Faster than a 7900GT, cooler and quieter too, They're fast enough for credible DX10 usage, but we can just pretend they're old fashioned DX10, no? Good stuff for only 80$ at Newegg.

Answer 3

According to Nvidia's Website, they do not list the 7900 or 7950 GPUs for sale.

I personally use http://www.newegg.com for all of my computer parts.  You usually can not beat their prices.  They have a wide selection of Nvidia cards.  Hope this helps. :D
