ATI 1900 Series, Which one is the best

[VinnyPel2ella]

ok so im looking to build an ATI/AMD system and am looking for the BEST ATI card(in the 1900 Series), i see there are 3 cards, the X1900 Crossfire, X1900XT, and the X1900XTX. Which one would be the best for gaming, also throw out some good ATI Motherboards. Thanks

X1900XTX : ) and its a cherry picked core so they overclock awesome like joker got his X1900XT to 740/840 rock solid stable 24/7.

x1900xt, dont know anything about mobos though

edit - oh right you said BEST so price must no be an issue.. its just that 100$ diff for a 5% fps increase...

More like a 10-15$ differnece and perhaps even more IF you OC the card.
X1900 XTX's usually overclock far better. I know a few people have been getting over 13000 3dMark05 points with OC'd XTX's.
That's a huge increase right there from OC'ing alone.

X1900XTX is the best, but the XT is the best for the money.

For motherboard, i'd say the Asus A8R-MVP or Abit AT8 would your best options, unless you want the expensive DFI Crossfire mobo.

thanks guys, also what would be a good RAM choice for this video card

From all the posts I have seen, there is actually only 2 cards, the 1900 XT/XTX and the 1900 Crossfire version.

It looks like the XT is simply an underclocked XTX (identical card with a different bios flash)

there might be an x1950xtx or PE coming soon as well for the r590 in 10-15 weeks.

5150joker (i think) will tell you that the X1900XTX is worth the extra £££ simply because its got turbo juice in it!. if you wanna overclock the x1900xtx is worth it.. goes much further than the XT, 5150's up to like 750+ now on the core? insane,
