I got my X1900GT from newegg today, cost me 185 after shipping, so I got a pretty good deal. So far, I have been pretty impressed with the results. I had an X850XT before this, and it blows it out of the water.

I have only played CS Source, HL2, WoW, and CoD, and this card handles all of them very well at 1920 x 1200 on my dell 24 inch. I have it at 4x AA, 16 AF, and I cant stand tearing, so I enable vert sync - my fps never VERY RARELY drop below 60. The only exception is on levels with HDR, it seems to drop the FPS to about 40, but definitely still playable.

I apologize for the lack of benchmarks, Ill probably get to that in the next couple days. Just wanted to give you guys an update....

I was pleasantly surprised - when I overclocked and was in game, I was only getting in the low 80s, which, although high, is fine, and is better than my X850XT temps for sure.

I felt the same upgrading from an x800xtpe. Was quite shocked at the improvement.
