The X1800XTX is and even then its still a slower card.

Also, the architecture of the x1800xt is designed and optomized fro 1600x1200 while the 7800gtx was desgned from scratch to be optomized for 2048x1536.

thanks for the useful response.

The X1800xtx and the 7800gtx are direct competitiors, both being flagship cards. the X1800xt was a step between 7800gt and 7800gtx, but imn price it was very close to the 7800gt a short while after launch(within $20-30). Furthermore, most launch benchies shoed the x1800xtx was comparable to the 7900gtx but in many cases at higher resolutions, it pulled ahead(rare since msot sites do not bench at 20x15).

Nividia engineers came out andsaid the 7800gtx was engineered from the ground up to be more geared toward higher resolutions like 20x15 and that the archichtecture of the G70 was markedly improved for handling over 16x12 resolution compared to the NV40.

ATI engineers stated that the X1800xt(x) was optomized for a 1600x1200 gaming exprience.

Again, thanks again for not being educated enough to add anything meaningful to this thread.

uh, you're the one who doesnt know what you're talking about. theres no such thing as a x1800xtx :confused:

and the 7800gtx wins in that benchmark at 1600*1200 too

Actually, the x1800xt is faster in Lost Coast than the 7800gtx, whenever AA is used, including HDR+AA, in both 1600 and 1900 resolutins - Text
