The 7900GT would be the obvious better choice if your just looking at the retail prices. You cant really compare them by looking at the after mail-in rebate price, because it generally takes 12-16 weeks for you to get the money, and sometimes you dont get them at all.

So I would say go for the 7900GT.

The GT is clocked slightly higher, and has 4 more pipelines.

After looking at that page. the GS seems to be better in "reviews" but there are way more reviews on the GT. The 3dmark results were 4720 for the GT and 4650 for the GS. Is that a big difference?(i'm not fully sure on how to view 3dmark scores)

I say get the GT. Not only is clocked higher at stock, it has 4 extra pipes. So it should perform noticibly better then the GS, but pry not a WHOLE lot.

You will notice the increase in performance, but it wont be that much really. But its always nice to have and will be worth the extra money.
