How does the peformance and graphics/visual quality compary between the 7900 and the X1800XT. I've never used an ATI card before, so I don't know what to expect excecpt from what I've heard about their cards.

Well I tried just about everything that was suggested, but no luck......Went to 500W PSU w/ a dedicated PCI-E power connector, installed RIVATuner and the temps were good (idle temp was around 52C), used DriverCleaner software per instructions and installed 84.21 NVidia drivers, but I still have...

Tried going back to a previous driver, and I have the same problem.....I'm really frustrated with this one.....Is it the video card or the Motherboard or what?

Installed the new PSU and ran 3DMark03 and I still got the graphics corrpution issues. This time the system crashed similarly to how it did when I first got the motherboard with the 5900 card. To solve that problem I updated the MB bios from ASRock's website. You think I could fix the problem...

OK, just bought new PSU (500W) with a PCI express connector. I'll install tonight and post how it goes.

PSU doesn't have enough connectors...plus the 7900 needs two 4-pin connectors.....Think a power problem is more likely than a faulty card? It would be easier to walk into the store to get a 500+W PSU than to wait for an exchange from New Egg, but you know i'd rather be sure about the power...

I left out part of my upgrade saga because I eventually got everything to work fine until I got this 7900 card. Upgraded the cpu, memory, MB, and PSU a few weeks ago, but kept the 5900, case and all other add-in boards. Everything worked fine after that upgrade. Then, a few days ago, got a...

PSU came with the case I purchased -- it's 450W.... I'm thinking that should be enough, right? The only devices installed are a CD/DVD Rom drive, one hard drive, sound card, floppy drive, and a USB add-in card. The case came with 3 fans, so I've got those plugged in as well.

A few days ago I upgraded my video card from eVGA 5900 to LeadTek 7900 GT and now one of my favorite games -- Dungeons & Dragons Online: Stormreach -- does not work correctly. After playing the game for a few minutes, the graphics start looking corrupted and the problem keeps getting worse...
