Benchmarks of this thing vs a 7900GT?
From what I have seen the results are very similar. Really comes down to brand loyalty- nVida vs ati
However being 60$ cheaper the ati seems to be to be a better buy in this case. Only problem to keep in mind is ati's fans on their cards are horrendously loud so add 20-40$ to the price if you decide to pickup an aftermarket fan/heatsink.
Also keep in mind that with the x1900 gt cards on their way to replace the x1800xt ati stopped production on the x1800xt so we could see some major price drops on the way (ala the x850xt)
And no the fan is not horrendously loud, You have to be real anal about noise to think this. I dont much like noise and I almost never here my X1800XT's fan.
