Any performance reviews on these things? Price is pretty tempting... (185 AR after shipping)

x1900gt's are expensive. That's $280 that I would put towards a x1900xt (after rebate) instead.

I have a 7900gs myself. They overclock pretty crazy. 600/1800 here :)

Personally i'd still go with a X1900GT, but they're pretty closely paced and it would depend on what games you intended to play i suppose...

Haha... I checked this morning for the review, didn't see it... went to the dentist, checked newegg, voila, it was there! Posted this without even checking the front page. Thanks :)

For the money I would get the 7900gs. It seems to be a very good buy.

Same, these overclock like mad. I've also hit the 600/1800 speed and it has zero issues doing this all day. Great card and thanks woot for the $145 card. :)

I saw a Sapphire X1900GT on sale yesterday @ Newegg for $199 without any rebates. Now I don't see Sapphire on there at all. It was new retail and not open box either. Ah well.

You probably saw an x1800xt, it makes absolutely no sense for one to pop up at $199 when the rest are selling for $280+...

No, the X1900GT has been around, and under $200 for over a month or so. Now it, and the X1900XT's have climbed in price, sadly. Guess due to it being replaced pretty soon.

You can get an open box X1900GT for 220.00 on newegg. Other than that, you'll be spending 277.00 for a 1900GT there. Look around the online resellers. Your bound to find a cheaper one somewhere.

They are all either out of stock or ~260 or higher. Yuck. I would rather get me a x1800xt 512 or even x1900xt for that price.

Hexus is quite tough on the 7900gs link Of course Continental prices are different. But Nv best get on it.

However, with ATI Radeon X1900 GT available for ~£150 today, 7900 GS faces very stiff competition. Radeon hardware today offers better overall image quality than you'll find with GeForce, when pushed to the limits, and with the performance of X1900 GT instantly comparable to 7900 GS and 7900 GT, you have to really want NVIDIA for whatever reason to stay away from the red team in this particular price space.
