x1800 / 1900 xt

[TheDiceman]

looking at the 256mb versions of these cards I am a little confused, the core clock and memory clock is faster on the 1800 and the pixel pipelines are also higher on the 1800, what makes the 1900 that much better?

 

[massacreinfallx]

go with the x1800 for the extra pipelines

lol..

if they're both the xt version, then definitely get the x1900xt ....

But why? Looking at teh numbers the 1900xt is not all that impressive.

1900xt is better because it has 48 shaders while 1800xt is only 16

ya look at more of the specs.
if your have the money get the 512 version of the 1900xtx
