For 200-300 dollars should i get the 7900gt or x1900gt for Oblivion?

First off: wrong forum.

But anyway, I think you should just flip a coin: Read Me


Edit: or just get whatever is cheapest.

7900GT, then overclock (and voltmodding if adventurous). But go to the real forum for these things.

Correct me if I'm wrong but if you're getting it for Oblivion I think you'd want the ATI card because it can do AA + HDR at the same time.

7900GTKO, volt mod it to 1.5v, get the nvsilencer 5 revision 2, and hack the thing so it will fit on your board (u need to make 2 cuts. Search google).

OC the hell out of it w/ ATItool (the one @ guru3d.com, not the latest version). Now you have something that is really close to, or beyond a 7900GTX minus the extra RAM.

Anyway, just get an X1900XT, they have an open box one at Newegg for $290: X1900XT
