Ok.... I have a problem... new cards came out and im an upgrade whore. I have a 7800gt and I found a buyer for it who is willing to pay $240. Now I can either get a 7900gt for $300 and a PSP hard drive with extra money, or a x1900xtx for $425. I am currently on a 1280x1024 res monitor but I am planning to hook up my PC to a 1080p HDTV. So it will need to push the high res on that. I do like the ATI card having better IQ and having more ram, but it is loud and expencive... Or I can just stay with me 7800gt untill the DX10 cards come out, and buy some thing else (life sized chucky doll?) Help me decide.. cause im confused.
 
Nice wish I had someone wanting to buy my 7800GT for that much(my friends are cheap) It might be better for you to get another 7800GT & go SLI. That is if your PSU is up to spec & you have an SLI mobo. At 1080p/1920x1080 you're gonna want as much horse power as you can get. If you were just running 1280x1024, I'd say get 7900GT & save $$$. The 1900XTX I hear is quite loud & hot, but kicks ass........Hmmmm.....I'd say your best overall value is to go for the 7900GT & OC the crap outta it. Then whenever the next generations of cards comes out you can sell the 7900GT to you're friend(buyer). :D
 
For that price the X1900XTX seems like a steal. Are you sure you did not mean X1900XT?
 
yea, its a xtx, used on a classified ad.. you think it will be able to do oblivion at 1900x1080? My grief is that im spending so much cash when DX10 is on the way soon... then again DX10 games arnt so I guess I wont nned DX10 hard ware right away. The XTX is almost twice as fast as a 7800gt sometimes right?
