What card is better?

Is the X1900XT 512mb card better than the new eVGA 7900gt 512mb card? I bought the X1900XT, but I want to know if I made a bad decision.

Since I haven't seen reviews of that card, I would love to have an x1900XT myself instead of any 7900GT.

I even chose an x1800XL over a lower priced and faster 7800GT and I don't regret that decision at all

by all means, No. you made a excellent decision.

I believe the X1900XT is better than the 7900GT. it's running stock, and when overclocked it performs much better. the only gripe I see, actually more "I hear", is the loud fan.

OK, cool. Thanks guys.

The fan on the x1900xt is not all that bad. If you set the profile to run at 100% speed all the time, then you have a problem. But the active increments the fan can run at makes it a bit more bearable.

They're both good cards, it's hard to go wrong. Given the choice I would go for the X1900XT.

You made an excellent decision, the X1900XT has much better IQ. Just make sure to enable HQAF in the driver. AA quality is also better, IMO. The fan is a bit on the loud side, but it didn't turn out to be as bad as I had thought it would be.
