You are now shopping with me ...no I will not buy everyone icecream.

get X1900XT not XTX. Instead upgrade the cooler for a quieter one for those $30 savings. I'd go with the cheapest brand if you plan on changing the cooler. Otherwise Powercolor since they have lifetime warranty.

Cheers.

Well with Newegg you have to go retail these days since therye QA is slipping and slideing ...so, I mean read some Powercolor X1900XT complaints at thier site in reviews -laughable but sad. wow...haha
I'll but the cheapest retail AND aftermarket cooler because I have a quiet PC.

Recommendations and/or links to coolers for X1900XT series Radeons??

Tell me what you guys use.

EDIT: hey, GECUBE for 399.00 after rebate. Retail. ...my eyes are beginnign to hurt a little.

Hey I'm trying to catch up with all the tech. !

This quiet down the card because the stock xtx cooler is quite noisy.

I think the xt/xtx is faster than the GTX is most more popular games like BF2 and Oblivion (faster by a significant amount).

It's not a bad idea to buy the xt (425/725) instead since it is a good bit cheaper and most of them have no problem overclocking to xtx (450/775) speed.

that 8 less PixelPipelines makes little difference? I see it doesnt much if at all ....maybe a little speed? thats one thing that kept me inetrested in Nvidia. I have spend hours reading reviews though and that x1900xt is the best deal. That cooler will let me do that OC safely I hope because this thing already runs so hot at stcok settings... i dont know how people OC it without water cooling. Going to try and see
