7900GT vs 7800GTX

[nvening]

So which one wins this contest, both are available for about the same ammount but which ones gunna give be the highest FPS in Quake Wars when it comes out?

EDIT: It would seem the 900 edges its way infront, and its slightly cheaper.

Now how about the 7900gtx vs a 1900xt (both 512mb)

7900gt > 7800gtx as u now know.
7900gtx = 1900xt or thereabouts.

Even though ati's OpenGL has come on leaps and bounds id still say the 7900gtx will be quicker for quake wars.

Although the X1900 is quite a bit faster - at the same image quality settings- than the 7900, nvidia hsa always been a solid open gl performer so I would go for the 7900 if you want to play games like Quake 4 and Quake wars at max settings

Well quake wars is in my shopping list for def.

Im actually building for a mate, gota decide what to go for.

7900GT definitely.. runs cooler, plays faster.. and most importantly, its cheaper...

Might also consider X1800XTs offerings, most are selling off for pretty cheap prices.. I got mine for pretty cheap off Scan

Ok then, a 512 x1800xt vs a 7900GT? I think this choice will be final as its the onw hich fits within my buget!!

A 7900GT will have monster overclockable headroom due to it's build qualities and at £199 it's a tempting option. If we are talking 512mb against a 256mb card, I'd go with the bigger memory for Quake 4 inorder to use the uncompressed textures.

Well it will not be overclocked, its for a friends system, ill get the x1800xt then

[GingaNinja]

For me, one of the selling points of the 7900gt is the enormous overclocking potential. With a relatively simple volt mod, gtx speeds are attainable. (That said, I note your not planning to overlock.)

He just boosted his buget so a 1900xt it will be!!
