Asus' latest entry into the world of dual graphics card is its 7800GT, which is based on the latest line of NVIDIA GeForce 7 series of GPUs. While the card appears to be nice, it in fact falls flat due to its price. I don't know about you, but for $800.00, I can get two seperate 7800GT graphics adapters and run SLI rather comfortably. Perhaps the only reason for you to even consider this card is if you need a quad-monitor setup in a single card. Other than that, I don't see any reason why someone would opt for Asus' offering. I think Varun puts it nicely with the following statement in our original review of the card:

"The N7800GT is an engineering marvel without a doubt, but it’s somewhat disappointing, as the efforts seem to have been made over the wrong set of choices. Hopefully, when ASUS comes up (read: if) with an X1800XT dual or the 7800GTX 512MB dual, we expect it to fix the issues we encountered with the N7800GT and truly give us value in the purchase."
