The X1900XT is better than both the 7900GT and the X1950 Pro (aka a revised X1900GT), and it is around $250.

Will those X1900's be cheaper around the beginning of Dec with the new G80 coming out?

I liked the cooling for both though.

You can get 7900GS for $159.99

This ^ should max out BF2142
You can use the rest of the money to buy another 1gb stick

The X1900XT is better than both the 7900GT and the X1950 Pro (aka a revised X1900GT), and it is around $250.

But 7900GT is $40 cheaper
