graphics card

which will offer me more power 2 7900gs in sli or 1 x1900xtx im not bothered about upgrade paths as il get a completely new card come christmas

you mean 7900gt, the gs is agp not pci-e
edit: it seems that nvidia will come out with a 7900gs for pci-e to compete with the x1900gt. It seems like it will be a cheap 7900gt as to the fact that the 7900gt already competes with the x1900gt in performance but not price.

so everyone agrees i should get the x1900xtx

That card will blow your mind for the price. I have a X300SE that plays oblivion on the lowest of settings and it can play on medium with only a few glitches here and there. On a scale of 1 to 10 it is about a 1 or slightly more (or less), but it does me just fine. The X1900XTX is at least a 8.5. You'll be able to play the best of the best games on high. If I could afford it I would totally get it. That and if I ever get over my fear of having that much GPU power! :p

1+ vote for the x1900xt.

[sirkillalot617]

well that settles it but do i get the x1900xtx or the x1900xt

[The Black Pumpkin]

xtx if you can afford it.

you're not going to notice a huge difference, maybe 15 frames per second (sometimes that makes a difference, tho). You can overclock the XT to the XTX, so you can get the same performance of a stock XTX for less (But you wouldn't be able to overclock anymore. Or you could go with the X1950XTX...Just Kidding; those are like $100 more for a 10fps gain. If I were you I'd get the XTX since its only about $50 more and it can be overclocked to a higher speed.

Hope that helps, Indybird
