Apparently Zalman VF900 is one of the best.

If you don't care about the cost, one of the best air coolers is the Zalman VF-900cu.
Not sure if the Arctic Cooling has anything for the 7900GS.

depends on the card, zalman always does make great products and some that look awesome also, but arctic cooling has some good stuff too, just see what things fit your model for each and the prices you can't go wrong with either. I think the accelero x1 works on nvidia cards but I don't think it works on 7900 gs or gt just the gtx and gto.

for me the best air cooling was the one I did using thermalright SI-97
it actually lowered my load temps 17C

Haha, nice. I like the Thermalright HR03. It lets me run my 7600GT silent, which means the only fans running are the intake fans (don't want to fry the Raptor..) and the power supply fan.

I had both fans on 5V instead of 12V so they were silent too. I overclocked the crap out of this card (108% performance increase) and it was running in my posession like that for 2 years. I sold it with my previous rig and its still fine (so you only shorten your cards life with OC if temps are too high)

actually it is very light, so no problem weight wise...the only thing you have to consider is space: 3 slots taken under the card
