x1950 vs. 7900GT

Thanks! There's this article too Link to anand and it shows the GS doing better than the x1950 same with the GT. All these articles seem confusing. In a lot of games the x1950 doesn't do much better than the 7900GT or it does worse but they are still all over it. I'm kinda confused.tisb0b said:
I've been waiting til the last minute (for me) to buy a card. Yea, the 8800 series is the ultimate, but seriously, who can afford one of those and has bills to pay?
Regardless, the 7900GT (and GS) seem to out perform on most benchmarks when compared to the X1900 Pro. My dilemma is that I don't have an SLI mobo (a Gigabyte DQ6) and I'm not sure even with the hacked drivers for SLI on non-nvidia boards that it'd work. I'm not a hardcore gamer, but I like to play around ever so often. I suppose SLI or Crossfire really isn't something I want, but I'd like to know I could use it later if I wanted to.
Simply looking at a single card solution, and based on all the reviews I've been reading (dozens!!!) it seems the nvidia 7900 series is the better choice. But I keep reading that the ATI 1900 has better image quality, etc. Ugh, so confusing.

With the x1950 you get HDR+FSAA. But, it's more taxing when using just one card and is better to use it with a Crossfire setup. As for IQ, ATI has an edge with AF and NVIDIA has an edge with SS FSAA. Both cards are great choices, so choose which one meets your needs the most.
