1900xt or 7800gtx

[JFlo]

I am torn between buying a radeon 1900xt 512mb for 500 dollars an 7800gtx for 256mb video card for 400. Is the preformance gonna be much difference between the to? What one should i get?

what resolution will you be playing at?

 

[jcll2002]

depends what games youre going to be playing but I aws in the same boat (still am lol) and i decided on the x1900xt

 

[Asian Dub Foundation]

voted for X1900XT base on the simple fact that it is faster

 

[sculelos]

Also what games, heavy pixel shader games will perform better on the Radeon.

here is a site that offers comparisons for alot of cards

No contest. The X1900XT blows the 7800GTX away, and don't let anyone [read: AEG people] tell you otherwise.

Faster GPU, more ram, angle independant AF and HDR+AA -- just get the X1900XT.

while $100 is more a relative thing, to me its more then worth the extra $100 cuz i play games and i like them to look the best possible =p well with the X1900 ur definetly gonna get better frames at better IQ settings ^_^ easy choice if you play modern games

I really wonder who voted for the GTX256...

 

[r3g]

why do the poll based on the 256 gtx instead of the 512 one?

lol

Of course the X1900XT for $500 is a better buy, but it is a public poll.

I did, got a problem Dont care about ati specs i will never buy card from them again. Nvidia all the way for me.

 

[jcll2002]

why not?

I just upgraded from a 7800GTX (256mb) to a X1900XTX (512mb) and all I can say is


1920x1200 4x AA 16x AF with my FPS never dipping below 60 on any game I have played so far. I am in love with it.

Because as a general rule the only way to get a 512gtx includes the sacrifice of a virgin.. You have any idea how hard virgins are to come by these days??..

haha, they actually have them on newegg, but i prefer the virgin sacrifice.

anyways the 1900xt blows the gtx out of the water, and its newer tech general, so I would say its gonna keep its value a bit longer.

because if you read my post you can see that price is a factor, and the 512mb is 800ish for gtx.

How about for future upgrades would i rather have 2 sli 7800gtx's or 2 crossfire 1900xt only reason i ask this is cause crossfire still has its bugs, although i dont know if they would hinder the performance that bad to make it worse or near the same as 2 7800gtxs (this would be like an upgrade in lets say 2 months from now or so.)
