Comment:

i purchased a dell xps 600 that came with dual 7800 GTX's. this system was faulty so i traded it in for a new xps 600. with this model, which was newer by a few months, i received dual 7900 GS's.

im not sure whether i had a better GPU setup with dual 7800 GTX's or 7900 GS's. can someone get me a link to the specs on these or tell me which setup was more productive?

The GeForce 7900GS from Dell has 20 pixel processors, 7 vertex processors, 256-bit memory bus, and comes clocked at approximately 470 MHz/1320 MHz for core/memory, is powered by the newer G71 graphics chip and most importantly uses only 20W at peak (about half the 7800GTX's consumption).

GeForce 7800GTX on the other hand has 24 pixel processors, 8 vertex processors, 256-bit memory bus, and comes clocked at approximately 430 MHz/1200 MHz for core/memory & is powered by the G70 graphics chip.

Looking at the above, you'd notice a little give & take in the characteristics of the two dual cards but to sum it all up, you should stick with the dual 7900GS because it is a better deal overall.
