From what I've read, at stock the X1900GT is around the same ballpark as the 7900GT, but the 7900GT overclocks better. I would go for the X1900 GT because it's cheaper, it can do HDR+AA, and if your into Oblivion ATI cards play them great. You could wait untill X1950 XT/X cards are out and/or G80/R600 come out; that way prices will drop and more powerful cards will be out.

im preaty shure the 790 gt beats the x1900gt because it is slower then the x1900xt and that is 7900 gts direct competirtor teh 7900 gt is on a diferent preformence lvl and u wont get a 7950 for same price as a 7900gt it about 299 more expensive then the 7900gt and that is canadian i know because i just bougth a 7900gt very satisfied exept it was a defect

Thats got to be the most poorly constructed run-on sentence I've read in a while.

*Re-worded in an easier to read fashion*

*I'm pretty sure the 7900GT beats the X1900GT, becauseit's slower then the X1900XT, and that is the 7900GT's direct competitor. The 7900GT is on a different performance level, and you won't get a 7950 GX2 for the same price as a 7900 GT (and that is Canadian dollars). I know because I just bought a 7900GT; I'm very satisfied, other then it being defected.*

The X1900 XT is not the direct competitor of the 7900GT. A X1900 XT/X blows the 7900GT out of the water. The X1900GT is it's competitor.
