Kotu said:Trying to decide between an x1800 512MB or a new 7900GT 256MB, any suggestions on which is better? I know ATI IQ is meant to be a little better.
I bought one and I'm certainly not disappointed. Although I'm currently limited to 1024x786 by my monitor, I will hopefuly eventually upgrade and then get a 19". At the moment, even with this res my X800XT was struggling with AA and AF but this card doesn't even blink. I run 16x 6x everything on max on all games and it runs very smoothly. I currently have it running 690/800 through overdrive fine (well it looped 3DMark05 for 1 hour fine, though oddly 3DM03 crashed my system - still, plays CoD2 and HL2 fine so probably 3DM03 is corrupt). I just use Overdrive because when I tried to do it myself, it all went wrong - I need a proper OC tool as ATi Tool is still so buggy with this card.Jack Bauer said:Im thinking the same, in that french review the 7900 GT beats the 7800 GTX by a few FPS and the x1800xt is better than the 7800 GTX ( not sure how much better ) so they are probaly about the same. Altho I would like to see some tests with high quility settings.
Most importantly tho I can get the x1800xt right now

You won't be disappointed. I got mine on tuesday and am loving every minute of it .Kotu said:ordered the x1800
Well it might be at the lower res's but the same can be said of the 256MB XT. At any res of 1280x1024 and above, the XT pulls out a lead.no_1_dave said:7900 GT is better in the benchies...
Not sure on IQ though, but do you play a game to stand a look at a brick or a fence & admire it?
Only reason i'd go for a X1800 over the 7900 GT is the 512mb may come in handy in about 6 months to a years time!
Jack Bauer said:right. made my mind up. Going for the x1800xt 512 with some more memory. As much as I want it the x1900xt is just over kill for me at 1280 res.
The only thing that is worrying me is unreal, oblivion coming out soon. Will I need the extra power?
Also am I to late for delivery tomorrow? Trying to ring OCers but its busy.
What a suprise
