2 79oogt's vs 1 x1900xtx ???

[waytoosmall]

It seems like 2 7900gt's in sli are going to perform better than 1 x1900xtx, which I have now, but can return. The price is close enough for me, but which setup will run Oblivion better? That is probably the main game I will play up until the DX10 cards are released, along with UT2007 if it comes out. Then I will be upgrading to them obviously. Which way should I go if I plan on dedicating my time to Oblivion? Should I stick with my 1900 and just overclock it, or drop some more and get the 2 gt's and overclock them. I keep hearing different things about how if Oblivion is shader heavy and uses a specific HDR, then the ati card will be better, if not, the 7900gt's will be better. What you guys think? I want to get this stuff ordered and setup so I can forget about this and just wait for the game. Thanks,

just keep your X1900XTX and be happy. That card rocks hard.

Um... That does not help. If i'm going to spend money, I want the most bang for the buck. That is why I asked the specific questions that I did. Anybody else have a more informative answer???

daamn you people....

I've seen that chart already. My question is more based on oblivion specifically. I see that GT's win there, but what do you guys know about the HDR technology and shader heavy engine for Oblivion?

The game isn't out yet.

2 7900GTs will beat both a single X1900XTX or 2 X1900XTXs. Simple as that.

Back that up please. I don't believe you, period. The 7900GTX is a little more comparable to an X1900XTX.
