    Best card you can get now AFAIK.. or unless you feel inclined to shell out an extra £100 for a 7900GTX which is comparable in performance..

    no wait.. actually the XTX is faster..
    Me want Ultrabook

    Great card but has two things against it - noisy when fan at 100% and requires a lot of juice. Apart from this its a great card which will last you for some time.

    It will never be 100%.

    It's a great card.

    Indeed, but then you can et the fan speed yourself, or buy another cooler.

    how about an X1900XT & overclock it to XTX?
    If you go Crossfire later the Master card will downclock an XTX to XT anyway afaik.

    What he said ^^

    I have the Sapphire x1900XT and it is an excellent card @ stock, but also happily clocks to XT-X speed and comfortably beyond :

    Save the extra pennies is my advice - especially if one day planning Crossfire as you will lose the XT-X default speeds anyway
