X1800XT by far. 7900gt is the competition.

x1800xt easily. it's faster, less expensive, and has more features (hqaf and the ability to run both msaa & hdr).

the only downside is it's noiser, but it's performance, price & features advantage easily makes up for it imo.

oh.. some comparisons from firingsquad

try searching next time...

I would think the 7900gt to be better, but people seem to think otherwise so I donno.

The X1800XT will kill the 7800GT though it might be noisier.

The X1800XT can edge out the 7900GT in most games and even the 7900GTX in a very select few. (Oblivion...) The 512 MB RAM ought to act as a small hedge against the strain of future games.
