[weemanpow3]

I looked arround for a while and I can up with these so far. I want to buy one and money is not a issue. which card sould I get out of these.

Radeon X1900XT, Radeon X1900XTX, Geforce 7900GTX.

I need help choosing one of these.

Thanks

Well I'm a Nvidia guy so I'd go with the GeForce 7900GTX, but I heard that the X1900XTX was better. Can someone confirm this. (Either way those video cards are asome!)

i think the 7900 is better but i dont know either {:

When it comes to Games with a lot of shader models then the XTX wins every other game the GTX takes the cake (not by much though).

go with 7900GTX, and if u have alot of money and money is not an issue as u said then go with two 7900GTX in SLi.

The 7900GTX outperforms the x1900XTX in most tests, so either one would be a good choice.

Yep, not sure about prices, i do like nVidia but id personally go with the X1900XTX right now seing as its scoring a bit higher atm. Just depends if you want to spend more on the (other card)

he did say money was not an issue. so personally i would do a little reaserch and see which card is getting higher scores. heres some good reviews:

eVGA Superclocked Series

7600gt,7900gt,7900gtx (single and sli)

ATI Radeon X1900 XTX

I'd go with the X1900XTX, seeing the 7900GTX is $50 more expensive on newegg right now, and it doesn't beat the X1900XTX on all tests. Of course you don't have any concern for money, so I guess you could go with 7900GTX in Sli.

 

[Charles_Lee]

if you already have a motherboard that is competeble with sli, get 7900gtx,,,
for future upgrades

7900gtx in SLI.
either that or x1900xtx in crossfire (which is harder to figure out, with similar or worse results)

 

[kjkiller]

Radeon X1900XTX, its easily the best for gaming

Not true the 7900 GTX beats it in most games.

I think the X1900XTX, ATI really did this card right. With the 48 pixel shader processors, it will run over the 7900GTX in a lot of newer games, such as FEAR or COD2.

err since when does the 1900xtx run over the 7900gtx in ANY game? it is a marginally close race, and who beats who is likely determined by resolution and variable due to game makers designing a game around a brand of gpu because it is easier to code or thanks to an endorsement.

actually, the x1900xtx has 48 vertex shaders... vs. the 7900gtx's 8 (i believe? some confirm please )
whereas the 7900gtx has 24 pixel pipelines vs. the x1900xtx's 16.
also, their clocks are slightly different as well.
these differences make their performance ultimately depend on the game, so they're the best of the best you can get, and one isn't necessarily BETTER than the other... they're just different.

The X1900 has only 8 vertex shaders.
