    Best Idea is search for the cheapest 7900 GTS, PNY do some very cheap ones SLI them & then buy some new VGA heatsinks and OC them.

    X1900XTX... better image quality, HDR + AA, HQ AF, AVIVO and performance that at least matches the 7900GTX.

    yup.. from reviews if AA/IQ + high resolution 1600x1200 and higher is what you want = X1900XTX, lower resolutions or benchmarking futuremark apps = 7900GTX

    if dual card is what you want seems 7900GTX SLI is better than X1900XT CF

    X1900XTX is a better card. Nvidia themselves admitted that in a meeting to shareholders.

    Again If you have an Nf4 rig now and wish to upgrade down the road, its the 7900GT for an SLI setup, but for a single card setup, there is no subsitute to the X1900XTX....the first and only card to

    - Break 55k in 3dmark01
    - Break 13k On Air in 05
    - Break 14k Single Card in 05
    - Break 15k Single Card in 05
    - And has the current single card WR in 05 at 16.5k (Kinc)

    I am sticking with my x1900XTX...I am very pleased with it and I am using a nF4 Ultra-D board. Down the road I may go CrossFire...but for gaming there is no need for it...

    I can run CoD2 full spec at 1280x1024 no problem at all...So I really don't see the need of upgrading anytime soon...

    I have an xtx and was wondering if switching to 7900gt sli would be a bad idea? I think because im still runing a single core CPU, that is one reason to not make the switch, and I think the IQ would be slightly worse but FPS??? I need to see some 7900gt SLI benches.
    Current Setup:
    -9850 GX2's in Quad SLI config

    -Intel Celeron D OC'd to 3.2Ghz

    I would just hold on to the XTX...

    I believe XFX has the best deal 7900GT right now.

    Though I recommended some to buy the eVGA GT with 500/1500 for $320....Later last night XFX upped the ante on Newegg with a card clocked at 520/1500 (stock is 430/1300 ) for $315 !!!

    lol :p well....at least you know which brand to buy

    Plus buying a GT cos you have an nf4 chipset is a perfectly plausible reason...seeing as an ati card with an nf4 board just doesnt sound all that great.

    G/L and let us know about performance darksythe

    I think it depends on whos OC'ing and what has been done. a pair of 7900gts has much more potential in 3dmark, they can easily break 15k in 3d05. but an xtx is no much further behind, and still cost less then 2 7900's, about $100.00 less. Plus a lot would agree the IQ is better with the xtx.
