A few minutes after making the upgrade article news post yesterday evening, I received a Stock Availability Notification email from EastLuna.com.At that time, 10 were in stock and 6 were available at the time this was posted. At $750, the price is about 16% higher than NVIDIA's $649 suggested price, but this XFX model is overclocked out of the box - 580MHz core vs. 550MHz, 1.73GHz memory clock vs 1.70GHz. If you are seriously considering the GeForce 7800 GTX 512MB, look over our upgrade article. The article contains gameplay performance in F.E.A.R. and Quake 4 and includes a full-length video from each walkthrough. The video is an excellent aid that allows you to compare the performance of your system under gameplay conditions.
