nVidia kinda changed things around by introducing the GeForce 7900
GTO.  Same 24/8 engine running at 650MHz, the best nVidia has to offer
in the 7900 GTX, but with memory slowed down to 1320MHz effective
GDDR, like the 7900GT (and most GS models).

TigerDirect has the eVGA 7900 GTO 512MiB for $259 - $30 rebate:

Kicker is that it takes up a full 2 slots because of the cooling for
that powerful 650MHz core.  But it's a steal compared to a full 7900
GTX, despite the memory signal reduction, it still has 512MiB.

As always, comparisons to other products can be made in my blog
article (which I'll modify to add the new card shortly -- probably on
the Wikia page instead):
