Nvidia or ATI

[tearing_shit_up]

there not very good specs the x1900xtx and thats a 512mb card it has better specs according to ebuyer

For me the 7950 gx2 just pips it. Has more pipelines 48 as opposed to 16(48 pixel shader processors), and it has a 512-bit interface as opposed to 256-bit

Well remember that the 7950 GX2 is just two cards in one, it's not a single card.

Ok, you're finished.

Has more pipelines 48 as opposed to 16(48 pixel shader processors)

First off, a single 7900GTX (as the 7950GX2 is based off the 7900GTX) has 24 pipes, not 16. Also, a single 7900GTX does not have 48 pixel shader processors, it only has 24.

and it has a 512-bit interface as opposed to 256-bit

Lastly, it has a dual 256 bit memory interface, not a full fledged 512 bit memory interface, as it still is two cards.

Well said, simply having 2*256bit cards does not equal the same output as a 512bit card, especially when it comes to real world performance.

The new ATI X1900 XT or XTX series cards PWN nVidia...period.

 

[Burgerbob]

Not completely, especially CrossFire Vs. SLi... just look at some benchie results.

 

[RadeonX]

Nvidia!

 

[4W4K3]

HAH! What a parody...user name "RadeonX" but you live Nvidia!

Can´t find cheaper, better ATI than my 7900GT 512MB for 300€...

 

[trouzourt]

nvidia has to be..7900gtx yeah!

Actually, nVidia's best performing desktop card is the 7950GX2.

 

[bigl2007]

nvidia of course

nvidia rules

 

[Geoff]

ok so reliable wasn't the right word, is the 7900 GTX a good chocie for constant gamming, and lan parties.

The 7900GTX is an excellent choice for gamers, however for ~$100 more you can get the 7950GX2, which is effectivly two 7900GTX's combined.

i'll back that up astroman! unfortunately i haven't the money for one...

I must say this: Newer mess with ATI men in your life
Hell, they may close thread down if you say nVdia being better or they misunderstand your sayings about some one..
Free word is not an option in some places I guess.

As long as you bring facts to the table your allowed to mess all you want. Also, if you cool down a few degrees and actually read through my posts you'll notice that I've in numerous places have stated the X2 to perform best at this moment.

Hell, they may close thread down if you say nVdia being better or they misunderstand your sayings about some one..

You implied that people who dont agree with you aren't thinking, don't do stuff like that and threads wont get closed.

Free word is not an option in some places I guess.

Go ahead and PM Ian or another Administrator if you've got a problem (or an example) of me not allowing free non condescending words.

x1800xtx

 

[Nutcase]

x1800xtx

Is it better? I was thinking its a little better/equal than/to regular 7900GT. Maybe some tests?
I would like to see those tests where both cards are OC'ed to their max with their stock coolers in the same test That would be interesting to see.

i have had experience with both Nvidia and ATi, i recently switched to Nvidia because of their SLI. I prefer Nvidia mostly because most higher tier games are more compatible.
